Shouting that from the rooftops for quite some time! Trump’s nomination was like that giant meteor that took down the dinosaurs. How long have the people here wanted the GOP to gone/changed?
There is more to come!

I voted Libertarian in CO down the ballot.

I reasoned why should I for a party that didn’t want to win and didn’t want to stand behind Trump?

I quit the GOP and became an UA conservative voter.

My message to the GOP was NO CONFIDENCE - YOU’RE FIRED!!!

This is a crew that couldn’t win even if you showed them how to do it.

Good riddance.

“If Trump punishes the establishment, where is he going to find and vet people, who will enthusiastically support his policies, in just a few weeks time?”

Like Steve Jobs, Trump has a lifetime of making contacts and friends at all levels in the socioeconomic hierarchy. He will have no trouble at all in finding competent people to turn our government around. None at all.

Not only that, but I’d love to see him rub it in the faces of the elite. For example, appoint Diamond and Silk to the Civil Rights Commission. Those two women have a surplus of common sense and knowledge of what is right and what is wrong, and it would be delightful to see the Dems try to oppose these two black females.

Besides, do you REALLY want Trump to reach down into the ranks of the GOP traitors and reward them with jobs for stabbing we the people in the back for decades, and thereby perpetuate their power?

“he may not even be Republican”

And quite frankly, that would be a VERY good thing given how 99% of actual Republicans have gone about their traitorous business of stabbing we the people in the back while scarfing shrimps and caviar at the posh, elite D.C. hog troughs.

You (and many others) have gotten this all wrong.

This isn't about replacing the leadership of the Republican Party. The GOP is done -- period. It effectively merged with the Democrat Party in the early 1990s, though it has taken 25 years for it to become obvious. The most damning evidence of this is the candidacy of none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton -- who is running on the Democratic ticket despite having a political philosophy that is identical to about 95% of what we saw from George W. Bush: Wall Street globalists who are willing to sell our nation out to foreign governments and corporate interests.

From this point forward the country will basically fall into three major political factions: Democrat-Republicans (the Clinton/Bush cabal and their NYC-Beltway political machine), Marxists (Bernie Sanders' supporters), and Nationalists (Trump's supporters).

I have no idea how this is going to shake out in terms of future governance in Congress and the White House, but the political world we knew for more than 100 years in this country is over.

“I voted Libertarian in CO down the ballot. I quit the GOP and became an UA conservative voter.”

I’ve too did the latter, but am holding off on the former only should Trump lose. I voted the down ticket and will continue to do so if Trump wins, assuming that Trump will whip the spineless P.o.S’s into shape, because Trump will need a GOP Congress to accomplish most of his aims. If he can’t whip them, then I’m hoping the new Trump machine will start primarying the bastids out of office.

"...beginning to realize Trump will be the 900 pound gorilla in Washington in January."

He is such a force of Nature that he'll be the 9,000-ton gorilla starting November 9. He ain't gonna wait around for January, mark my words. Way too much to do to pussyfoot and procrastinate for prehistoric protocol.

The choice is simple. Note for Trump or vote for the criminal.

Darryl Glenn is Colorado’s version of Michael Steele, a squishy and undependable RINO.

It sounds like you are describing George F. Will and his friends too.

If the GOP loses this election, it will never win the WH again.

If president Trump does anything crossways see how quickly Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell call for impeachment.
