OHHHHHH...being part of the Republican Party was good enough for these traitors when THEY GOT THE DONATIONS AND PEOPLE CAMPAIGNING FOR THEM!

Now that they don’t need the Republican party—or any of us who gave money or campaigned—like a lot of us-—”We don’t need you peasants anymore!” so we’re not coming to your next convention or supporting the Republican party. All you stoopid, foolish voters who worked on our campaigns over the years....well, you were just useful idiots.

That’s the message I am getting. I’m furious. The Republican Party can go to h...l!
Remember, by not participating in this...they ARE BACKING the Hildebeast. Oh, wait, I’m confused..I thought they were more conservative than Trump.

Sore losers, but obviously conceding the win to The Donald.

I hope McCain comes on board when Trump becomes POTUS. We cannot afford another renegade.

You are right. I just made that same remark to my husband last night. What was the alternative....worse.

I’ve been listening to this podcast, and found it to be very interesting.

More information about the Bushes, Jeb in particular, and also, Mr. Stone, at approx. 5:15 mark, reveals new information regarding the Oswald-Cruz connection:

Trump-insider Roger Stone tells Lew Rockwell what’s ahead.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham & 2008 Republican presidential nominee and Arizona Sen. John McCain

I always expected less of them.

Maybe they can use this time to "refresh" their relationship.

Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."

John: Lean in closer, linda. You won't believe the time I have planned just for us during the Convention. I mean, who cares?.

linda: Sounds good, sweetie. BTY, I love what you're doing with your left hand. Shall I bend over this chair a bit more?

Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me.

More room for Patriots! These Faux Republicans who expected the voters and others to keep their pledges and unify after the primaries, are unwilling to do as they expected their constituents to do in 2008, and 2012.

They are traitors and should not be allowed to go now even if they change their minds.

Bush II is the only one who should stay away from the convention. I personally like him, but he was and remains so unpopular in the general public. He can’t possibly help this year’s candidate.

The others are total disgraces.

I LOVE how the hardcore ONE WORLD GLOBALISTS out themselves.

Great list of who their “leaders” are.

A Heritage Foundation conservative score card lower than 30% for nearly all of them.

This is a who’s-who list of scumbag politicians from either party.

A general question: In the past, whenever the nominee is a foregone conclusion and there is no credible opposition, how many of the delegates who were selected/elected/appointed actually show up for the national conventions? I.e., how many still show up for the fun and spectacle even though their vote is moot?

Donate directly to Donald J Trump .com instead of RNC and let him distribute to the people he wants

They are the scum beneath the shoes that scum-suckers wear when they go to a scum-sucking convention.
