T ends their good thing, just like busting the Mafia.

Funny thing, until the Trumpster came along, none of you righties had a problem with any of these guys.

It could be that they see Trump as being a reckless incompetent who is not fit to lead.

and you would be quite wrong on your assumption. truth is we had a lot of issues with many of the republican candidates, bush for instance was part and parcel an insider as was rubio, and most of the others. in truth trump and cruz were the outsiders in the race, and you ill note that both of them got the most votes in the primaries.

That's one of the least insightful posts I've read in some time. The Tea Party, which I'm sure you've heard of, was a backlash aimed at these corporate NeoCon candidates. The Ron Paul 'Revolution' was aimed at these corporate NeoCons. All those R's that bailed on corporate NeoCons like Romney & McCain & voted Libertarian were a rejection of them as well. To pretend this division of people vs corporations hasn't been brewing in the GOP now for years is preposterous.

If the D's had more integrity the same thing would have happened in their party but they sold Bernie out and supported corporate NeoCon Hillary Clinton.

I'm sorry, but I disagree, as much as your looking for an excuse to hate him, your only repeating what you've been told by Hillary and the Media, who are both crooked.

Trump isn't what you think or would like to believe...not to mention, he wouldn't be spending all this money, his own money, on his campaign, just for ****s and giggles.

If you believe that, about a frugal man, your sadly mistaken....

Trump is running, b/c he built this empire, and he wants to leave something behind for his children...he wasn't to clean up America...

Hillary wants to do nothing but turn it over to Muslims

"Hillary wants to do nothing but turn it over to Muslims' AND make BILLIONS in the process.

She claimed she and Bill were "dead broke" when he left office.

What are they worth today, $31 MILLION.

Just like she turned her $1,000 investment into $100,000 overnight.

Nutty Don is a liar and a con man. Still waiting for those reports on the POTUS birth in Hawaii and the proof of Cruz's dad being part of the JFK assassination.

Still waiting for those tax returns so he can be properly vetted.


Nutty Don will go down in flames.

I hear this again, and again from the dems. they sem to prefer to remain ignorant of what goes on around them, so as not to upset the apple cart. the less they know, the better their party looks to them.

The republican voters started fighting back during the Bush presidency, by refusing to elect incumbents who were viewed as RINOS and / or corrupt. It's how the dems won back the senate in 2006. They repubs are still kicking out the dead weight and the corny capitalists. Just look at what happened to the Eric Cantor who was the House leader.

It is sad that the democratic party has not had the same reformation movement, to kick out the corrupt, greedy, lying, self-serving, corny corporatists out of their party.

Democrat voters seem to be just fine with how freaking corrupt their elected representatives have become. Hilary represents all that is corrupt and wrong with the status quo, and she is their freaking nominee!!!!!
