Rand endorsed Mc Turdle, bet he is sorry now. What a chicken Mc Turdle is when its Obama, this proves he is a Democrat. Won’t back Republican Trump

Trump, when elected, will have a Augean task ahead of him.

Your logic of coalescing around one candidate to kick Trump’s butt’ could also be extended to Trump taking out Rubio and Cruz in the next round of upcoming primaries, too couldn’t it?

Or is that just ‘wrong’ and against the grain, against ‘conservatism’, against whatever because it’s Trump?

What you are really saying is that if all the Cruzers and Rubots (and McConnell’s ‘establishment’)don’t get their way, they’re not gonna go vote, particularly not for Trump, aren’t you?

Just what in the heck do you think will happen if the GOPe steals a majority voted candidate’s nomination out from under him? You wanna hear about down-ticket trouble from me or millions of other pissed off voters out there? Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

The difference between your argument and mine is that I’d vote for Cruz if he honestly beats Trump. I’m betting the other side won’t do the same for Trump.

All the vitriol here about the traitorous GOP leadership in congress (justifiably so) and yet Cruz is lambasted for not being able to get anything done there/not have any friends in Washington.

What should be a badge of honor for him is somehow hung around his neck as an albatross. On this point, Trump supporters are hypocritical.

JUNE 24, 2013

Fox News has notably changed its tone since the election. A Democratic policy staffer who worked on the issue in 2007 and has helped write the current bill said, “NumbersUSA and FAIR” - two groups that want to dramatically limit immigration - “managed to convince Fox News back then to be their twenty-four-hour news channel of the anti-immigrant point of view. Fox has now totally bought in to the idea that we just need to figure something out.” Rush Limbaugh, who fiercely opposes the bill, has come to sound resigned. “I don’t know if there’s any stopping this,” he said on January 28th, the day the Gang held the press conference announcing its framework for the legislation. “It’s up to me and Fox News, and I don’t think Fox News is that invested in this.”

McCain told me, “Rupert Murdoch is a strong supporter of immigration reform, and Roger Ailes is, too.” Murdoch is the chairman and C.E.O. of News Corp., which owns Fox, and Ailes is Fox News’s president. McCain said that he, Graham, Rubio, and others also have talked privately to top hosts at Fox, including Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Neil Cavuto, who are now relatively sympathetic to the Gang’s proposed bill. Hannity voiced support for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, which he previously dismissed as “amnesty,” on the day after the 2012 election. “God bless Fox,” Graham said. “Last time, it was ‘amnesty’ every fifteen seconds.” He said that the change was important for his reëlection, because “eighty per cent of people in my primary get their news from Fox.” He added that the network has “allowed critics to come forward, but it’s been so much better.”

I’m too old to leave but I’ll never vote again. Hole up in my “compound” with my guns and wife and wait for them to come get me, I guess.

I like Cruz, but voted for Trump. I haven’t lambasted Ted - I’ll vote for him if he wins the nomination. During the Obamacaust, I’ve always felt that a Senator or Congressman’s job who represented me was to stop ANYTHING Obama supports, wants and does. So Ted’s accomplishments as they are in that vein I appreciate. The worst thing I’ve said about Ted is his foolish decision to embrace Glenn Beck’s endorsement of him.

I’m a Cruz supporter, but if McConnell and his GOPe buddies try this we’ll burn the place to the ground. Republicans will cease to be a national party.

Two things.

Didn’t the RNC get a promise from DT that he would not go third party if not winning the nomination and thus, the RNC should not be dropping him if he does get the nomination (is he still high in the negatives?)?

The Constitution Party is most conservative and if in fact he does get the nomination that is how I will vote. Too bad DT can’t join that party because it is Pro-life from conception.

So I guess Trump’s 55,000 donation to McConnell re-election isn’t paying off too well.

I don't know.

Mitch is closet queen though - I am almost positive about that.

There are contemporanious witnesses who have attested to his quickie discharge and remember the reason he was tossed out of the military.

This also means one other thing. Trump wins, McConnell will bring up Oturd’s SC nomination for a vote.

Can't the senators re-elect a new Senate Majority Leader and in effect "Boehner" him? I'm surprised they never have up to this point.

"Mr. McConnell has raised the possibility of treating Mr. Trump’s loss as a given and describing a Republican Senate to voters as a necessary check on a President Hillary Clinton

With statements as above from the "leadership" of the Republican party . . . is there anyone here on this forum who really desires to be identified as a "Republican" in any sense of the word?

What pisses me off is how the media talks about our struggle to save our nation as “entertaining political theater”.

The DC Uni-Party has got to be broken and destroyed...the GOPe, the DNC and the MSM!
