Ann Coulter tells Hannity that if Hillary Clinton wins, the GOP is dead


Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity disagree over whether Donald Trump is really "softening" his position on immigration — as Trump told Hannity on Wednesday — but on Fox News Thursday night they saved most of their anger for the Republican Party. Trump is getting about 75 percent of the GOP vote, and if he can get 15 percent of the black vote and more of the Latino vote, he'll be president, Hannity said. "But you have all these former candidates for the presidency that made pledges, then you've got Paul Ryan, and then you've got a bunch of wonks over at The Wall Street Journal, National Review that... are doing everything they can to sabotage him."
Coulter said that she thought America was in trouble when Mitt Romney lost in 2012, but "now we are at the tipping point, it's much farther along. I mean, Democrats must be thinking: 'We thought it was gonna take 20 years to completely take over the country. The way Obama is flying in Central Americans and bringing in Muslim refugees, we can get this done in Hillary's first term.'" If Clinton "amnesties" all the illegal immigrants, she said — putting the number at "30 to 50, 60 million" — "it's over, Republicans never win another presidential election, we have nine Ruth Bader Ginsburgs on the Supreme Court." If Clinton wins, she added, "what you do, what I do, what Fox News does will be irrelevant because there won't be a fight anymore."
"I'm not going to be a nut and say I don't believe the polls," Coulter said, "but I do think the polls are going to change, I still think Donald Trump is more likely to win than not, I think people will get serious and realize, this is it. This is it for our country." "I think it's worse than that," Hannity said. "If Hillary wins, I am blaming them directly for their sabotage."

Coulter saved a bit of sorrow for Trump, though: "I think he made a mistake in the things that he said to you. He was using... all the Marco Rubio clichés used to push the Gang of 8 bill. Look, I don't think that's true — I think it's stupid, because all Trump is doing is demoralizing his base. The Never-Trumpers, the people who hate him still hate him, but now they can call him a flip-flopper. Way to go, whoever told Trump to say that." Trump has his flaws, but he has always been a great patriot, Coulter said. "If you are putting Americans first, you are not going to want to keep even the most law-abiding illegal alien.... This is burdening America. We're a generous people, but enough already!" Watch below. Peter Weber
