A main difference between the elites and the regular folks is that we want to see Hillary (or Bernie) lose while they want to see their approved candidate win and damn the country if things don’t go their way.
I’m fine with Cruz or Trump or Carson, and I wouldn’t be too terribly disappointed with Rubio as long as it gets the White House out of Democrat Socialist hands.
It may well come down to this or an Obama pardon.
Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton’s private email server illegal, but that it “disqualifies” her from holding any federal office.
Such as, President of the United States.
“If you do this or that bad thing, you’ve essentially disqualified yourself as being the leader of the free world,” said Mukasey, referring to the illegal server and the illegal handling of classified materials.
Mukasey specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071.
For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here’s what it says:
“(a)
Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b)
Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.”
Yes, it explicitly states “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”
Shouldn’t voters know that? The media won’t tell them. So it’s up to us
It’s times like this that I wish that the states had amended the Constituition to give themselves the power to recall federal lawmakers.
No. They’re hardening their resolve against those low and dirty creatures who have the temerity to violate the wishes of their betters and vote for Trump. Republican voters.

So, can we look forward to the GOP campaigning against Trump in the General?
I want to see the RAT nominee defeated. Apparently the so-called republican establishment is willing to lose the Presidency just to make sure nobody they decide is “the chosen one” can win. Screw them.
These so-called "elites" are a perfect example of why George Washington abhorred the rise of political parties. They seek to subvert the will of The People and the good of The Country in favor of their own interests.
For Pete’s sake, it’s not the “elites.” It’s anybody who isn’t media-manipulated and doesn’t want a total moral degenerate and self-obsessed lunatic in the WH.
Obama lowered the bar, and Trump, supported by the media, had no trouble buying his way over it. Actually, he probably went under the bar, but since we have a generation of voters used to nothing but trash TV (in which Trump was a specialist), this isn’t surprising.
It’s called, digging their own grave.
Arkansas was expected to go to Cruz thanks to the graphic put up by Byron it may explain why Trump carried was crossovers.
Trupmbots do not want to hear this but the problem with all of this is that Trump has court cases pending from law suits brought against him by students of that phoney Trump University he set up and some other stuff resulting from those bankruptsies.
While it is not nearly as bad as the very bad baggage as what traitorous Hillary has and if the Senate was doing its job at least impeach her. Yet here we are in that situation we were in 2012. Having Romney never arguing against Obamacare when he set up its prototype in MA..
Trump will win BECAUSE of their attacks not despite their attacks. Will Senator Cruz vote to block money for Trump’s wall?
Trump! Because FU, GOPe!
The rhetoric thrown at each other is really turning people off. Then we have the eGOP piling on. And now possibly Romney joining the ‘dump Trump’ movement.
IMO destroying any chance of winning, no matter who is the nominee.
Why would any sane person vote for one of the liars, inexperienced, bankrupt prone, ‘foreign born’, poor money managers, skirt chasing people in the race?
Not voting for either of the amnesty Cubans,with all the underhanded shit they have pulled they can fk off. Im voting Trump or nothing
“We’re the GOP elite. We don’t care what you peasants want.”
"It that an Amnesty Bill in your pocket, Señor Rubio, or are you just happy to see illegal aliens?"
