I used to criticize Democrats for their blind loyalty to each other but this election cycle has given me reason to reconsider that approach. They really showed that they can stick together through thick and thin.

I will never forgive the Republican establishment for what they did to Donald Trump. It was not only dishonorable but almost gave us a Crooked Hillary presidency - which they apparently seemed to be fine with.

I will never forgive the Republican establishment for what they did to Donald Trump.

They were like the Scottish noblemen who abandoned William Wallace on the field of battle in "Braveheart."

I have no problem with principled conservatives bailing out on a candidate who is a criminal or a morally reprehensible character. In this case, the biggest betrayal was not what these @ssholes did to Trump, it's what they did to the credibility of their own political party.

I had someone explain this to me at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania last week. He had served in public office at the local level, and he said the real problem the GOP now faces is that the party's ability to raise money has been damaged considerably. They can't even hold prominent candidates to their own pledges to support the party's nominee in a presidential election, so what exactly is the purpose of even donating to the party anymore?

In addition to that, he said a party member who refuses to support a nominee is basically seen as a thief -- having availed himself of the party's financial resources for their own races, then running away when it came time to come to bat for another candidate.

Kasich is history. He has to repudiated by the GOP in a very public way, or else the party is going to be crippled financially.
