Limbaugh has been actively urging his Texas listeners to cross over and vote for Clinton in that state’s open primary Tuesday, arguing it helps the Republicans if the Democratic race remains unsettled for weeks to come."


Limbaugh Urges Texas Republicans to Vote for Clinton

I'm sure you were equally outraged with this, right? Or is your outrage selective?

Open primaries allow for this and always have. If voters don't like it they can change it.

I see that none of the TPers have responded to your post. Apparently their outrage is indeed selective.

I know, right? I guess it's only a crime if it adversely affects the Tea Party candidate. Otherwise, no harm, no foul.

Because it was an idiotic post.

The only crime is thinking your half truth posts have any merit.

Anyone who actually seeks the truth would understand the outrage is over Cochrans camp buying votes as well as falsely playing the race card.
A few Mississippi dems have been stand up in denouncing the purchased votes, the misrepresentation. and the voter fraud. They get it and are not blinded by a twisted agenda.

LMAO What success? Keeping us in never ending wars while ruining the economy? yea thats worked out well over the years hasn't it? Obama is a horrible president but the one before him was almost as bad. Very little difference between the two except the hand picked winners and losers.

Your uninformed once again. Show everyone here how simple it is for 3rd party candidates to get on ballots.

The only ones lacking guts are those who rely on government to raise them from cradle to grave because they don't have the backbone to make make the tough decisions. "Oh please government look out for me since I cannot make an informed decision. oh what should I do?" Hows the status quo working?

That has actually been the most surprising thing about the whole MS runoff mess. There actually are Democrats and Blacks that are outraged that Blacks were manipulated, incited to vote illegally, and used this way.

Once again, I'll remind everyone that the penalty for voting illegally in MS is a $200 fine and/or 6 months in jail.

Oh, so the TP keeps away from difficult tasks. Boo Hoo.

The Perot people, at least, had the courage to face that difficult task.

Doesn't matter, as the Establishment will continue having great years, like 2014, against the TP. That will leave the TP no viable option besides the tough task of going 3rd party.

You still haven't said anything. Just keep making silly tabloid comments with absolutely no substance whatsoever.

The establishment having great years? LMAO If by great you mean keeping us in never ending wars while ruining the economy, then yes they are a great failure.

Doesn't surprise me you wont comment since you don't research. (or talk about policy) Course it takes guts to do that. But yeaaa team!

So winning elections is all that matters??? That's what makes them winners??? Nothing to do with how Congress has ruined the economy and held back the recovery? Oh that's right, that would involve taking the thought process to the next level and jumping off the band wagon. I forgot who I was talking too, my mistake.

Nothing matters unless one can win. Losers are powerless, as the GOP discovered when ACA was passed despite their whining, sniveling, and stomping of the feet.

Losers are forgotten by the morning after the election. Winners can make a difference.
