The GOP is determined to become irrelevant. They managed to alienate the base since the last election taking Congress and have now managed to become Whigs.

Well one thing is true.

The GOP by and large, is completely for selling out our very own country on immigration. And globalization.

100%.

Sold out. Every last one of them.

I don’t think you’re going to have to. I think Trump and Cruz are a tag-team.

He obviously means that if Trump loses in the primary the GOPe will cleanse every true conservative and patriot from its ranks so it will be a 100% group in the tank for Hillary.

He has worked on electoral campaigns for Republican candidates including Bob Dole, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. In 2008, Castellanos, a partner at National Media Inc., co-founded Purple Strategies, a bipartisan communications firm. - wikipedia

Looks like they’re doing a damn fine job of it already. Seems like, over time. you lose touch with and then turn against your former supporters. And claim you don’t understand why they (supporters) want nothing to do with YOUR chosen pick as a can’t-i-date.

Will this help?

3 strikes for me: TPA vote, H1B visa increase by 500%, Corker vote. Doesn’t add up.

That was accomplished an election or two ago...at least.

Some late risers are just now waking up to what has been done already to ANY type conservative who disagrees with The Party.

Thank you. I’m so tired of the “one true conservative” narrative. Doesn’t match reality.

If the GOPe is seen to have had a hand in Trump losing then the base will burn the party to the ground and build a new one.

It is time for a showdown. What the arrogant SOBs fail to factor into the equation is what happens when the GOPe elites lose. Then it is our turn to purge the RINOs. We have nothing to lose, they have everything, so it’s to the wall this time baby. It is time to rumble and we have a gladiator leading this charge.

They will never figure that out. Because Rove Inc really believes they hold the ultimate power in the Repub party.
