Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's derision of his political opponents draws hearty boos of support at rallies. That he castigates as many Republicans as Democrats is another sign of the fractures within the GOP........

I (completely) agree.

You nailed it. The GOP is way, way, way more interested in fighting against other Republicans, than against democrats. They are not interested in winning elections, they are fighting to protect their party spots.

You nailed it.

I agree. I’m enjoying it immensely. Trump is only doing to Repugs what they’ve been doing to us since the 90s. They deserve it - especially that Eddie Munster wannabe up there on Capitol Hill who has no manners and is a sore loser.

the vast majority of those in public office and national politics are not there to serve the public. For most of them, it’s all about them.

Yep. It's a great way to line your pockets. And that's why you'll see many Republicans throw their support to Hillary. She knows how the game is played.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Alter it. Ballot box BUMP!

HOORAY Trump

C’mon November

“It is assuredly far from my mind to want to weaken respect for the law when it is applied to objects within its competence. I will describe them soon. But extending the law’s competence to everything, as Mably, Filangieri, and so many others do, is to organize tyranny and to return, after so many long declamations, to the state of slavery from which we were hoping to free ourselves. It is once again to subject men to unlimited force, which is equally dangerous whether we call it by its true name, despotism, or by a gentler name, legislation.”

Benjamin Constant, Commentary on Filangieri’s Work [1824]

Democrats should not take heart in supposed Republican division. The “division” is between Republicans who want Hillary and her party defeated and those who want to see gallows and taut ropes stretching from Washington to Seattle with a Democrat politician swinging at the end of every one.

Bush’s policies on trade and foreign entanglements more closely align with Hillary than Trump. That is the problem. It’s a Uniparty.

Trump doesn’t judge men by their political affiliations - he judges them by the content of their character.......

FR is great if you understand the mission.

If they spew pure vitriol and a repeat of unsupported opinions—>they serve no useful purpose.

Too many are willing to suspend their analytical skills and refuse to address factual information. They spam this forum with ideological purist rhetoric regurgitated from the mouthes of candidate(s) who don’t practice what they preach.

I’d suggest that people slow down and carefully investigate a candidate before they are so financially and emotionally invested in his success. They project so much onto candidates and can not accept evidence that destroys their vision of holiness. Always follow the money, it is more truthful than their mouth.

The goal has always been to elect the most conservative candidate that IS ELECTABLE and CAN WIN.
Since 2000, demographics have changed-forever and republicans will struggle to win more and more states and they must win key swing states. The mindset of most of those that were kicked out of FR will result in a General Election every single time.

It is time to wake-up and recognize the statistical post election results are indicative of patterns of success and failure. Winning a general election is not about pocketed victories in states with 2 or 3 Electoral Votes. And cheating to a republican victory does not equal presidential victory, that only works for democrats.

The Republicans will flush the country down the drain, if they do not win in the fall. Now is not the time to be lazy and full of ego. Trump finally gave the party some hope, because he knows how to street fight. McCain and Romney blew it, allowing Obama to cause great damage to this country. Trump will out work, out hustle Clinton.
The lazy backward pundits should be ignored, because the fight is underway.

What this amounts to is this, the elites can’t stand someone who dares to talk back to them.

The elites have cowed so long to the democrats and Obama, it is un fathomable for them to take any guff from some other republican.

trump won’t join the cult, and can’t be controlled by the cult, so they attack.

But, it’s probably too late. They refuse to see that it’s the people rejecting them, no Trump. Their cowardice, lying, and pandering has reached critical with the American people, and they are standing with someone who fights back.

As do most Republicans.

Our party was infiltrated by leftist evil long ago. Trump simply stepped up and pulled off the mask.

God bless and protect him, the left is relentless in their pursuit of revenge.

Trump has really smoked the rats out of their holes, and exposed who they are, where they are, and what their motivations are. For that, we owe Trump a great big “THANK YOU,” as well as our votes in November.

I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1972, and I would rather stand with Trump and lose than another spineless, wannabe ‘moderate’ nipple sister like the Republicans put up to offer token resistance to the fascists on the left.

“”draws hearty boos of support””

BOOS of support? Jeez - how old are these writers? Boos = support? That’s like calling a “nod” of the head a “shake” - two opposite meanings. I guess it’s “cheering” when the crowd DISAGREES with the speaker, right? Guess we’re supposed to get used to this new found fangled way of speaking...Don’t think I’ll bother.

Trump is way more conservative than Romney or McCain and Ryan had no problem supporting them.
