If Donald Trump does not pull off a miraculous, against-all-odds, come-from-behind victory tomorrow, Trump won’t get the blame from grassroots Republicans. Republican establishment figures who either refused to support the GOP’s nominee or gave, at best, tepid, grudging support will be blamed.
And the simmering intra-party civil war that’s been burbling for the last few years will erupt in a full-blown, take-no-prisoners political revolt – including a mass exodus of GOP voters who will change their registrations to independent.
Among the establishment figures who will be responsible for bringing this about: Mitt Romney, George, George & Jeb Bush, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Ben Sasse, Sen. John McCain, Sen.Lyndsey Graham, Sen. Jeff Flake, Sen. Dean Heller, Sen. Susan Collins, Sen. Mark Kirk, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Gov. Brian Sandoval and Bill Kristol.
And yes, Sen. Ted Cruz. Even though he got with the program late…it was too little, too late. The damage he did at the GOP convention in Cleveland simply can’t be erased.
#MAGA tomorrow.
Cheers.

P.S. That protestor who interrupted Donald Trump’s speech in Reno on Saturday told the Associated Press that “It’s absolutely ludicrous” that he was an operative for the Democrats even though “he has donated to (Hillary) Clinton’s campaign and canvassed for her last week.”
Liars of a feather…
In other news, Democrats who filed frivolous lawsuits trying to intimidate and block GOP poll-watchers have now lost in every venue where they tried this stunt.
A federal appeals court on Sunday blocked a Cleveland federal judge’s restraining order against GOP ballot security efforts ruling the Ohio Democrat Party’s lawsuit didn’t show “a likelihood of success on the merits.”

CHUCK’S ELECTION ‘16 PICKS
Correction: In yesterday’s column, I incorrectly identified tax-hiking RINO Assemblyman Derek Armstrong’s district. He’s running in AD21, not AD29.
Also, Republican candidate Christine DeCorte, running in AD18, left me a voice mail saying her “C” rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA) was probably because she chose not to answer the last question in the organization’s survey because it was too complicated and involved too many hypothetical variables.
DeCorte also explained that she used a photo of someone else lying face-down in bushes because she didn’t have an actual photo of her opponent lying face-down in bushes. However, she did, in fact, disclose that it was a fake photo in the mailer – though that hardly makes it acceptable.
And with that, here’s my Election Eve final list of who I think I’d vote for tomorrow…though I reserve the right to change my mind right up to the time just before taking and unlawfully posting a “selfie” of my completed ballot for posting on social media…

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Chuck: Well stated and argued, as usual (“ELECTION ’16: Some Democrats I’m Supporting and Why”). Agree completely about never rewarding a RINO. RINOs are far worse than liberal Democrats, in my opinion. At least with liberal Democrats I know what I’m getting. RINOs pull the ultimate bait-and-switch, trash the Republican brand, and give fiscal conservatives nowhere to go. Keep up the great work and let’s make America great again!” –Jeffrey Purtee, Reno
