It's the end of the GOP as we know it if Trump is elected
FOX News ^ | February 29, 2016 | By Michael Goodwin

Say this for the dim bulbs of the GOP: They finally made a decision. It is now Marco Rubio or bust.

With Rubio now designated the favorite son of the anti-Trump crowd, the theory will be tested Tuesday.

If Trump runs the table or anything close, it's game over. Not just for Rubio, but also for the party's entire establishment. Trump is a total disrupter, and the GOP would never be the same.

Whilst you cheat, pleas realize that even token opposition to the democrats will be gone with the GOP. It would have been much better to change the party rather than destroying it.

It’s kind of like burning down the house because you hate the carpet. The carpet is gone! But dang it’s cold out here in the rain.

Trump just pulled the bandages back to expose the cancerous infection permeating throughout the entire political body

Say what you will about Trump, but he has really lifted the veil on how rotten the system really is.

Not many other candidates could, or would, have done that.

The GOP makes its final offer to the peasants:

I'm not a Trump supporter but this excites me.
Crush the eGop, yes !

It’s the end of the GOP as we know it if Trump is elected. Let us hope it will be as right now you cannot tell the difference between democrats and republicans. Maybe one or the other of them will be bright enough to realize what has gone wrong and why people flock to Donald. Too bad...but now it is a little late...

why not Cruz? Maybe he really is hated by the establishment wings of both parties…

Because Ted is a stickler for following the rules, and the establishment, on both sides of the aisle, like to bend the rules.

They are really more comfortable with someone like Bush or Rubio or Hillary than they are with Ted.

But what we really need are people who know what the rules are and are unwilling to bend them.

Bending the rules, of the Constitution that is, gives the establishment more power and control over us.

Which means they get to make more money when they are able to bend the rules and skim the system.

Like the bridge to nowhere.

When someone has promised their constituents that they will not do something and then they do that thing, going back on their word, then we are essentially experiencing lawlessness.

Is it any wonder why we ended up with Barack Obama who has never met a law he didn't want to either break or ignore?

Ted represent everything they hate.

We need a new GOP. The existing GOP establishment has been corrupted and is failing. That is why Trump is winning. Let us clear house and replace the old with new people; people who go with the flow of the people of the Republican party on the issues that matter to them, not the old remnants who just go after the votes.

A new time is coming. Trump will lead us into it, I hope.

What no one is talking about is the cumulative effect of once the electorate discovers they can run the table with Senate and House seats, it’s going to be a game changer.

Rince Prebus has already announced his resignation when a Republican wins the White House. He’s out! Donald’s in as head of the party.

Rubio will CAN’T TAKE ONE STATE.

The only way the GOPe can win is to do the democrat routine and do voter fraud... At which point there will be NO Republican party.
