Thursday on The Chad Hasty Show, host Chad Hasty delivered his thoughts on the rift between Donald Trump and Republican Party establishment.

Hasty talked about the nomination of Trump, his outspoken, seemingly unrestrained, and often controversial style, and the reluctance of many long-time GOP members and leaders to accept his candidacy.

While speaking about Trump's attitude toward his detractors, and his knowledge that he himself is the sole alternative to Hillary Clinton, Hasty said,

Eventually Republicans, elected officials, are going to have to understand that. And I think Trump's right on one point: They're going to have to get over it, and they're going to have to be quiet about it. Otherwise you're going to get Hillary Clinton as President. And look at what she's already talking about: She's already talking about bringing back an 'assault weapons' ban. She's already getting into these issues. Just wait until she's President and she's able to appoint Supreme Court justices!
