After watching the mayhem at last week's GOP presidential debate, I've decided it's time for the Republican candidates to have a Come-to-Jesus meeting.

Guys, we get it.

Click here to join Todd's American Dispatch - a must-read for conservatives.

Donald - you can't take a punch. Ted - you think you're smarter than everybody else. Marco - you love to flip flop. Jeb - you're a Bush.

We get it.

So how about dropping the personal insults and start talking about the issues -- like looking out for the American working man?

It would have been a bit difficult, given the “moderators”.

I am getting extremely tired of the MSM and other Establishment type telling the candidates how to “behave.”

The bottom line is the old ways of campaigning no longer work and the people are sick and tired of the same old stuff.

All these pundits can shove it.

“Starnes: Cruz thinks he’s smarter than everybody”.

ROTFLOL .. Hey Starnes .. CRUZ IS SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE .. which shows your bias and your unwillingness to tell the truth about Cruz.

Everybody at FOX is on the same train: Rubio/Bush .. and the rest of them are either stupid or horrible. WoW FOX, that’s a pretty stupid way to run a news program.

And .. just when I was beginning to think you might be trying to turn things around .. especially with the addition of Ainsley to Fox&Friends.

At least they are not killing each other in duels, like they use to do when the country was young.

They should bring back dueling for politicians. It would stop a lot of the nonsense in the political world.

Okay, so your heart is broken
You’re sitting around mopin’, mopin’, mopin’, cryin’, cryin’
You say you’re even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this

Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying
Everybody plays the fool

Todd is a single-issue voter. That single issue is the survival of the Republican Political Machine.

Here's the description of Todd and those like him:

The establishment-Republicans are so hungry for the status-quo (the same group who have been damaging this country) that they'll risk a complete political meltdown rather than to have an outsider like Trump become their nominee.

Like I said in the beginning, even in this outlier of a scenario, the real tragedy in the Republican Party is that so many are throwing the baby out with the bathwater in attacking Donald Trump so viciously. But, to question such actions, would be to falsely assume they care about the party or its cause. They don't. They care about maintaining the comfortable position of power they have attained, and they expect you to comply or they'll "burn down the house." "The house" is both the party and the cause, in favor of their power. If you corner and threaten a vicious dog, he is likely to bite.

Ted is demonstrably smarter and more accomplished than the competition and Todd Starnes. Just the facts, Jack!

Trump thinks we lost 2012 because Paul Ryan is ‘too conservative’

Doesn’t this prove that he (Trump) is a liberal?

OldSaltUSN approves of this FR thread.

We're among friends here. Even if our candidates are acting like "horses asses" doesn't mean we on FR have to follow their example.

FReegards.

PS: Apologies to any overweight horses out there who may have felt insulted by my metaphor about a part of their anatomy.

Far more important that that is who will restore America and the Constitution? It is not for nothing that I said America needs its own Pinochet type figure because we have fallen that low.

p.s. Trump doesn't care about the Constitution except the natural born citizenship clause and that only conditionally.
