** Begala: Trump Winning the Nomination Would Be ‘Catastrophe’ for the GOP
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Last Monday on CNN’s The Lead ([link removed]) , contributor Paul Begala ([link removed]) said if former President Trump won the presidential primary, it would be a “catastrophe for the Republican Party.”
Guest host Bianna Golodryga said, “I want to read an excerpt from The New York Times op-ed written by a retired and staunchly conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig. He called the Republican base spineless for its continued support of Trump. He said if he is convicted on espionage charges and fails to shake the Republican Party to its political senses, that it is beyond saving, nor ought to be saved. Were you surprised by this take?”
Begala said, “The judge has stepped out. He testified so powerfully before the January 6 Committee. For people who don’t know, he’s one of the most respected, esteemed and conservative legal minds of the last half century, widely respected. For him to say that, he’s no liberal, for him to say that is quite shocking.”
He added, “Our last CNN poll, 23% of Republicans said they could never support Trump for the nomination. He’s the dominant candidate for the rest of the party. When you’re losing 23% of your party, some number will bleed over to the general election. Trump got 94% of Republicans against Joe Biden and it still wasn’t enough. He lost. The judge is right, they may find a situation where Trump is unbeatable for the nomination but unelectable in the general election. That’s catastrophe for the Republican Party.”
That’s what they want Republicans to think.

In an article he wrote during the infamous Florida recount controversy ([link removed]) vis-a-vis the 2000 presidential election, Begala suggested that a disproportionately large number of Republicans and conservatives were bigots who were highly prone to violence and cruelty. Specifically, he pointed to the solidly red (Republican) counties and states on the electoral map and said: “You see the state where [African American] James Byrd was lynch-dragged behind a pickup truck until his body came apart—it’s red. You see the state where Matthew Shepard was crucified on a split-rail fence for the crime of being gay—it’s red. You see the state where right-wing extremists blew up a federal office building and murdered scores of federal employees—it’s red. The state where an army private who was thought to be gay was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat, and the state where neo-Nazi skin-heads murdered two African Americans because of their skin color,
and the state where Bob Jones University spews its anti-Catholic bigotry: they’re all red too.”
