Party big-wigs understand that if we succeed in electing a nominee they don't control, they will no longer be able to force their choices on us in the future.


The voters will be in complete control and that really ****s-up their whole world!


Party big-wigs can eat my ***!

Many of those people are a part of the corrupt world of national politics, where they work the system to benefit themselves and their cronies. Trump is not in their clique, he has not worked up thru the ranks nor earned his stripes.

These people, in both political parties, have spent their entire careers building this nice little system of granting and accepting favors, and using the US Treasury to spread the wealth around, and everyone getting their slice of the action. Trump is not of that world, so he has got to go.

Hilary may be a democrat, but at least she is a part of the corrupt system, and knows how to play the game.

I don't know if Trump is trying to break it up. By default, he is not in that clique, so they know he will not be playing their games.

When these corrupt people are making their deals, everyone needs to be on the same page. "If I agree to go along with my vote for this bill, then you give me a blank check for $500 million in pork barrel projects of my choosing."

Think, the $800 billion porkulus bill, followed by the $400 billion 2009 omnibus spending bill, with it's 9,000 earmarks. That is what they are afraid will go away, with a candidate who is not in on the way the game is supposed to be played.

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.
yes, yes, and more yes.....

I'm looking for a big swing in corporate donations to the Democrat side as we, the voters who support accountability, have pissed in the Republican's pool.


I give the Republican Party a 50% chance of surviving this election cycle.


What happens after that is anyone's guess.

and why pray tell, is that so?

b/c he believes, illegals should be deported, and we need to put our immigration laws in place once again.
b/c maybe he believes for the safety of this country, any Muslim needs to be fully inspected and vetted before being allowed to come in?
Because he backs our police, and asks people to stop running from cops, bad mouthing cops and rioting, burning down your own neighborhoods?
Hmmmmmm, I don't believe that is racist.

But do believe that is looking out for ones country.
We have every nationality from every other country in our country illegally, which is dangerous....

That link is a joke.

Immigration is a serious thing, not wishing to allow foreigners to illegally enter this country, is not being a racist.

Believing a judge is personally and politically biased against you, and will not give you a fair court hearing - is not being a racist.

Not wanting to allow Syrian refugees to enter our country, because we cannot properly vet them, because:

1) they are in a civil war

2) Syria has been a nation hostile to the USA for decades

3) ISIL said they would use the Syrian refugee program to infiltrate their people into the US.

Not wishing to gamble with American lives by allowing people we cannot properly screen - is not being a racist.

Oh, and astronauts really did land on the moon too.
