Conservatives are having an epic meltdown right now that Cruz dropped out. Trump is going to be their nominee, and they absolutely hate him.

They do not hate Trump because he is a complete idiot, mind you; nor because he is an unapologetic racist. No, those qualities have normally been features of their favored candidates. They hate Trump because they believe him to be strongly pro-Planned Parenthood, pro-transgender, and pro-choice. The fact that the GOP is going to nominate him as their frontrunner is a seismic loss for the social conservative movement that is used to dominating the republican party.

Now that Donald Trump has decisively won Indiana--right after he claimed Cruz’s dad had a hand in the JFK assassination--they are faced with the new, orange face of their party. Years of fanning the flames of hatred has led to a brush fire of ignorance that they can no longer control. Trump is their man, and they are going to lose this November. And I mean they are going to LOSE BIG.

Denial has given way to anger, frustration, panic. I didn’t want to do a bunch of screen captures, so I am retyping tweets and comments from tonight that you might find interesting. Just a small taste of what is going down on the conserva-sphere. Enjoy:

33 years as a Republican ends now. Good-bye GOP. I didn't leave you, you left me.

I don't want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on winning the Presidency tonight, but she just did.

Sen.Lindsey Graham

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it.

Nat. Review’s Charles C.W. Cook

Madam President.

McCain 08 Chief Campaign Strategist, Steve Schmidt

Republicans need to ask whether they love their country more than their party.

Conservative Blogger, Matt Walsh

Goodbye, Republican Party.

Mark Salter, GOP strategist

The GOP is going to nominate for President a guy who reads the National Enquirer and thinks it's on the level. I'm with her.

Managing Editor of the rightwing Conservative Examiner, Philip Klein

I have officially de-registered as a Republican.

Redstate commenter

Because of ignorant, low info, gullible morons, the best chance in freaking years to get a true principled conservative is blown. And this opportunity was wasted with the help of Fox News, Ben Carson, Sarah Dingbat Palin, faux Christian Robert Jeffress et al. Not to mention some who flat out stayed in the race too long...

Ok… NOW you admit Sarah is a dingbat?

I know you are terrified of the thought of having such a moron run our great country, but at the very least, now you know exactly how we felt. Don’t worry, though:

The Democratic nominee will definitely be the one in charge.
