Emmert: The Secret to Unifying the Republican Party
Former Dallas County GOP Chair argues labels like “RINO” are used to control the party: “In my estimation, if you vote Republican, you are not a “Republican In Name Only,” you are a Republican in name and deed.”
In
the past week, I’ve written two articles about Donald Trump.
In
the first, I encouraged
Republicans
to vote for Trump because a Hillary
Clinton presidency would be disastrous. In the second, I argued that the GOP Convention
was not successful
because it didn’t unify the party, articulate a clear message, or do enough to
bring undecideds into the Trump camp.
In
response to the former article, some Republicans called me a traitor. In
response to the latter, another set of Republicans called me a traitor.
An
article supportive of Trump and an article critical of Trump result in equal
outcry from different sides of the party. In the Republican Party, you’re
damned if you support him, and damned if you don’t.
Go
figure.
