Is the point that Republicans have more integrity than Democrats?

I'd love to see the list, if there is one, of the Democrats who won't support Hillary. She, like Trump, should not be POTUS and is an embarrassment to our system.

It is no secret, the establishment on both sides of the fence, hate the guy and what he swears he is going to do to the organized crime racket that has gone on too long.

Who has been under a rock, to not know the Establishment has and always will hate someone that refuses to be a puppet, talking head.


The Establishment wing of the Republican party, is the reason both Romney and McCain lost in landslides to an inept and incapable, fast talker, while Bush barely squeaked by.
When the Establishment gets involved, Constitutional Conservative Republicans and Independents stay home.
People are tired of the Establishment, running and ruling us outside and around the Constitution, to push a one world government on us.

Liberal democrats can't stand the will of the people. Their party pushed in Clinton over what the people wanted and it just blows their mind that the people seem to want Trump. Just like they can't grasp the people voting GOP for the majority of the House, Senate, Governors offices and state Houses.

Trump received the most votes in any Republican primary.

Trump also lost the most votes in any Republican primary- Republicans preferring one of the other Republican nominees over him.

Hillary recieved more primary votes in 2008 than 2016 and lost the 2008 nomination.

Voter turn out matters

Thus far Obama holds the record for most votes in the general election at almost 70 million in 2008.

We are 3 months from the 2016 election. Way too soon to predict an outcome. I don't buy into polls, this far out. Only thing certain is I am not voting for either one of them.

If you're establishment Republican or Democrat bought off by special interests, Trump's not your guy.

If Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders and received 3 billion in free media air time, they too would be the front runner.

I support the free traders who disavow Trump. I too will not vote for a protectionist. The neo-cons is another matter. Bill Kristol and his ilk will never learn.

And all these jerks are going to be the downfall of the republican party, and they are too stupid to realize it.
The people voted for Trump, and any republican that doesn't honor that is only going to ruin the chances for Trump to win, and will probably be the end of the party.
It isn't Trump that is to blame, it's stupid people on the list above.

Bob.
