If McConnell decides on losing there are a lot of other (R) that will need to also pack their bags.

Trump will not win and no Conservative wants their party associated with Trump. Sounds like it is time to let the GOP go the way of the Whig Party.

Conservatives are acting like Purists, that's why they keep losing elections and will continue to do so. They are their own worst enemies. They would rather see a Democrat in office than someone running under their own umbrella. Douchebags if you ask me.

I disagree. I am not a party faithful and I will not vote for Trump.

Purists? Yeah, we silly purists want a leader who will uphold the oath of office and one who actually UNDERSTANDS the constitution. Call me what you want. Voting for Trump is voting for Hilary. I choose to vote for neither.

You have no idea what you speak of. Trump has never been in office so you have no idea what you say. So go ahead and throw another election by throwing your temper tantrum. See the difference between Trump supporters and Cruz supporters is that Trump supporters will still vote for Cruz if he is the nominee, Cruz supporters will either vote for the Dem or not vote at all. That's called childish.

What's wrong with Russia securing a strategic sea port for them?

There are very few Conservatives in the GOP party. They have all defected to the (L) party as the GOP has left them long ago.

If I recall, this is a subject you really don't want to discuss.

When did war with countries that did nothing to us become a cornerstone of Conservatism? (that are then not paid for)

I don't have to see a person in office to expect him to act in the manner in which he speaks. Trump is Obama. Sorry if you don't see it, but he is. He campaigns the same and he will "rule" the same way.

I have been called worse. I am immune to the guilt trips, name calling, etc. It worked in 2008 and in 2012, but I'm done. If the GOP cannot support the only true conservative in the race, why should they expect the conservative wing to support their candidate??
