Exactly. I had no problem turning in my Republican party affiliation. A smart person knows when to bail out. No reason to go down with a sinking ship.

True but the Democratic party have become the Alien Enemy Within. I think of the film Slither or Invason of the Body Snatchers to compare how the Democratic party has gone from being the Working Man's Party to one for fringe elements, SJWs and guilt ridden whites.

The Democrats that I know (most of them women) choose to support Sanders because they don't like Hillary. These women want to see a woman president, but they do not trust Hillary, and are afraid that she will lead us into more interventionists wars. They don't see her as much different than the Republican. I think some of them will vote Hillary if she gets the nomination, but a few of them (women in their 20's) I know will not.

After last night I could never vote for any of the top 3 Republicans. I am good with either Democrat.

I had not heard stuff like that since I was in middle school on the basketball court.

Lightbulb Question for Democrats - How great is the GOP meltdown?

Their self-inflicted meltdown is entertaining to watch.

For the short term.

Beyond that, it's bad for America. The GOP really needs to get its act together and return to sanity. Divorce itself from the moronic religious right and pledge to become a governing party once again.

Our country works best when both parties are offering solid policy positions that effectively address the issues. When either party goes off the rails and devolves into a mess of self-destructive turmoil and division, the long term results will never be satisfactory.

The Republican Party is going through some painful growing pains into something different. I sense Sanders' popularity is a pre-cursor to a coming schism in the Democratic Party as well. The times are a changin'.

My view is more inclined to view the Democratic Party as Ripley.

Why do Republicans think his 'big stick' reference referred to Obama's penis? Oh, that's right...sex is never far from the conservative mind. lol

Also, Rubio made a comment about Trump's HANDS. Trump took it to the lowest level all by himself.

Well said, and I couldn't agree more.
