There is no Republican party any more, just CoC bootlickers who pretended to be the resistance until Trump forced them to show their true colors.

So what else is new?

Republican’s only principle is to hve no principles. Their only strategy is preemptive surrender. Their only plan for victory is to tick off their base as much as possible.

The GOP came into being because the Whigs would not take a stand on the major issues of the day. they did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they have become the Whigs.

The Republican symbol shouldn’t be an elephant, but a goundhog, because they’re scared of their own shadows.

Oh I think Allen misses a point here about Trump and the NFL. Other than a quick tweet, the NFL issue is not taking up Trump's time, but he is sending a very clear signal to Republicans - see what happens when I followed my gut and took on the NFL. My view is widely shared and the NFL is going down.

Now Republican party, we all know how everyone feels about you. But, I have been supporting you. You guys - not so much. A lot of you have elections coming up in about a year. Want me as your enemy?

Do you see the Dems crying that they're '0/2 of 1/3 of the Government', and can't do anything as a result of it?

No, of course not. You see them doing every damned thing they can to stop the Trump administration goals and policies, with the capable assistance of some of these RINOs, the same ones who lied for 7 years about repealing Obamacare.

To Hell with 'em all.

Republicans have the left down but are too undisciplined and nervous about keeping them down...

To be precise, the voters took the Left down - but our GOP hirelings are too undisciplined and nervous to finish the job.

Haven’t seen Trump taking his case to the public. He seems much too busy worrying about the NFL players taking a knee than health reform care or tax reform.

This

The time Trump is spending on the NFL war on traditional values amounts to about 10 minutes of tweeting and as if he hasnt spent 24/7 managing disaster relief, North Korea, DACA, and finagling with Cingressional leaders on tax reform and obamacare

As if the man has no track record of multi tasking...?
Thought Alan West was better than this

It’s so frustrating. We’re something like 80% there but the McCains and other RINOS kill the last chances.

Why is it that the GOP has the trifecta of majorities in the White House, control of many a gubernatorial mansion and state legislatures and yet they are in full retreat?

Because they're LIARS!!! They are NOT "GOP", they are Democrats and socialists wearing costumes.

Alan West is good. He really is. Like all of US he’s not perfect, YET.

That he and we continue to suffer being called “Republicans” should show US much more road there is to travel.

There may not be a serious contender for the replacement of the Republican party, but who else can snatch defeat from the very jaws of victory so well?

This most extraordinary talent has been displayed over and over again, when the voting base of the Republicans has been, like Charlie Brown, all set up to kick the football, only to have the Establishment, like Lucy Van Pelt, snatch the football away, denying the moment of glory.
