The limits of democracy American style. Too many people with too many opinion and thinking their opinions count more than dog crap. Politicians trying to kiss up to these people so they have to lie and mud sling. Politicians are careerists, not real public servants.

Politicians are careerists which is bad. Which is why people are voting a 30 year careerist in.

You party is dying. The older people are dying off, there are not enough millionaires to vote a win, less racists, less greedy people, less religious zealots. less people who want to worry about what women can do with their bodies.

Just a simple vote to Cruz, Rubio and Hillary would have been done and dusted. Damn, we go and elect someone even LESS Likeable than Hillary to the Republic nomination. WTF.

If there was ever a year for republicans to gain back control of the white house, this go round was it
You won't normally hear me agree with a dye-in-the-wool republican, but...yeah, you pretty much nailed it. That's gotta sting a bit.

You still dont get it. Rubio is juts like nominating Jethro Bush or Matt Robbins again. Cruz n Trump were outsiders and Don has the charisma.


Cruz just talks way over everyones head.

Truthfully, no Republican had a chance. They could've been more competitive, but not win.

The other candidates were fairly untouchable by centrist standards, even if they weren't far right enough for the Republican base. Combine that with revelations against Clinton, and the other candidates would beat her easily.

I said it over a year ago: The GOP would win if they would abandon their base and actually go for the win, but they're never smart enough to figure that out.

Liberal media didn't stop Bush from winning two elections.

Chill with the excuses. Repubs aren't losing because of the media.

Cruz or Rubio or any if the others are not what the people wanted.
