And that's where competent party leadership comes in. One of the traditional responsibilities is to convince clown car candidates to not run. That may not come across as very grassroot-democratic, but it's necessary for a party to work at all.

Eh? The GOP is in control of its nomination process.

The line at the hand-washing basin has started to form...

What really pisses me off is that the die-hard Trump zealots call 90+% of all elected Republicans "RINOs," when Trump has deviated from conservative orthodoxy far more than most Republicans. According to the Trumpettes, the only thing that matters when it comes to determining whether one is a "RINO" is whether one is a white nationalist. Views regarding abortion and single-payer health care are irrelevant to these individuals.

They also love to mock Dole, McCain, and Romney as "losers," but the fact of the matter is that Trump will get massacred so badly that he is going to make those "RINO" nominees look like good candidates in comparison.

And thanks to Trump, far-left politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will be running Congress come January 2017. But I guess that the Trumpettes prefer Pelosi and Schumer over "RINO sellouts" such as Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Seriously, post-Election Day, I really hope that the GOP flushes all the racists and right-wing crazies out of the party, so that Hillary will be a one-term president.

Wait, only BS was it?

No need to reply. We all know such BS is not to be admitted in these threads or even corrected, and no doubt there just never seems to be enough BS in these threads to contend with, or perhaps you really have a Stalinist in mind. I'll bet you do, along with all the other boogy men you've got up there!
Lets start with Nancy Pelosi. Or how about Barbara Boxer... or Harry Reid? These people are far left, totally inflexible and fascist to their core. Then there's Obama and his freakishly deranged minions in the White House. And that's just the beginning.

The only thing that is more shocking here is that you can't see it.

But my gosh securing our country has to be done, who can deny this? And, I really wish he would add overstayed visas into his message also, what a nightmare that situation is.

I really agree mostly with his message/ideas, just his delivery method puts off way too many voters...voters that he needs.

TB
You said what I've said many times. His style is off-putting. His intentions and patriotism are 100% correct. He still has my vote but he embarrasses me.


I will say I would be more embarrassed to be a Hillary voter. I could never lower my standards that far.

Well why didn't you say so in the first place?

Had you been specific and pointed out that you were specifically referring to Obama, Pelosi, Boxer and Reid, that they are the facists, I would not have asked in the first place! Of course!

Now that I know where you are coming from, please never mind me, because no doubt you would find me out to be a fascists too, freakishly deranged, and I would prefer none of that about me (or the rest of us fascist Americans) be exposed if possible. You're just too sharp for me I think...

They failed at everything they have been ask to do and see no reason to change or ruin their perfect record.

Conservatives are scared because of the potential unity the democrats can muster when going into a general election. They saw what happened in 2012 and fear that will happen again in 2016. Not just the presidency, but also congress as well. If the Democrats take back the senate (which they have a good chance of doing), expect a liberal to get appointed to the SCOTUS. With a block of 5 Democrat justices, this will allow many gun control groups to start pushing lawsuits.

Honestly, McConnell is a dumb****. He and the GOP majority in the senate should have went through with Obama's previous appointment, Garland. Now that little stall tactic they've used will backfire greatly on them.

I appreciate the concern, but sometimes I wonder if gun enthusiasts view politics in America only through the site of a gun, almost as if no other issue matters more, almost as if there are no other issues...
