If you needed motivation to get out the vote this November, Donald Trump is handing it to you. If he loses, Republicans will never win another election. So he says.
Donald Trump fear-mongered in an exclusive interview with CBN News/The Brody File that if he loses, Hillary Clinton will give “illegal immigrants” citizenship and it Republicans will never win another election.
Speaking with CBN News backstage at the Values Voter Summit in DC, Trump warned or threatened depending on how you feel about things, “I think it’s going to be the last election that the Republicans can win.

“If we don’t win this election, you’ll never see another Republican and you’ll have a whole different church structure. You’ll have a whole different Supreme Court structure.â€
How the President would change the church structure is anyone’s guess, but maybe Trump doesn’t know which country he’s running in. Or maybe he still doesn’t know what a President can and can’t do. Or maybe he plans on running this place like his beloved Putin runs Russia.
David Brody tried to clarify and in the doing admitted that the real reason Republicans hate undocumented workers is they are afraid that when they vote, they will vote Democrat, “Just so I understand, when you say last election are you referring to what Michele Bachmann was talking about with citizenship because Hillary is talking about potentially providing citizenship for many of these illegals. That means Florida and Texas could be gone.â€
Republicans seem terrified that some people will hold a grudge after Republicans stereotyped them, treated them like crap and blamed them for all of the evil in the world. Another way of dealing with this conundrum might be to actually change your policy on immigration so that it wasn’t deporting people on day one. Just an idea.
Donald Trump picked up on Brody’s cue and so repeated his earlier fear-mongering in that familiar Trump “See Spot Run” way, “I think this will be the last election if I don’t win.”
And because Trump believes in always repeating the message, “I think this will be the last election that the Republicans have a chance of winning.”
“You’re going to have people flowing across the border, you’re going to have illegal immigrants coming in and they’re going to be legalized and they’re going to be able to vote and once that all happens you can forget it,” Trump said, based on his failure to understand Hillary Clinton’s actual immigration policy.
Clinton’s actual immigration policy doesn’t look anything like Donald Trump’s fear-mongering, but if Trump didn’t make Clinton the bad guy, he would have nothing to talk about.
Her actual policy (see link for details), “Hillary will introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to full and equal citizenship within her first 100 days in office. It will treat every person with dignity, fix the family visa backlog, uphold the rule of law, protect our borders and national security, and bring millions of hardworking people into the formal economy.”
The “illegals” are going to vote and then it’s all over for Republicans. This is Trump’s argument while he is trying to sell New Trump, the Not-a-Racist-Wall-Building-Mass-Deporting-Cruel-and-Easily-Manipulated-Fool Trump. Vote Trump or the “illegals” will take over. Yeah, that sounds super inclusive and not at all like he’s demonizing an entire group of people. This might be a good time to revisit Trump the-African-Americans-Love-Me-When-I’m-Not-Using-Them-As-A-Foil, which is never. On second thought, let’s not.
“You’re not going to have one Republican vote. And it’s already a hard number. Already the path is much more difficult for the republicans. You just have to look at the maps,” said the man who doesn’t seem to understand how polls or maps work.
Trump has that Palin way of throwing out a jumble of words he’s heard but clearly doesn’t comprehend that lulls some people into a white fairy tale of a fictional 1950s world but scares the bejesus out of the thinking crowd.
And there we have it. Trump’s big reason to vote for him is if you don’t, Republicans will never win another election. Sure, there are less registered Republicans, but he’s counting on Democrats, Hispanics, African Americans, women, disabled people, and everyone else he’s threatened or insulted not turning out to vote.
In other words, Trump’s incentivizing his own loss.
Look at the opportunity! If you vote this year, Republicans will allegedly never win another election. Be sure to tell your friends and family — for your country.
