    Are the Republicans really divided? I don't see any self-respecting Republican saying they'll vote Hillary over Trump, if so, well they need to stay Dem after they cast that vote. Fact is most of this pathetic little drama is simply hype from the media and their establishment friends. If Trump wants to put a damper on this nonsense he'll offer up a list of conservative judges he'd nominate for the USSC seat, people the establishment can't argue against. That nomination will be a big factor come Nov...

    He didn't have to do anything other than be elected and be black. The right took care of the dividing.

    I'm more embarrassed about Sander's Savages running riot and violating the Constitutional rights of Trump supporters and nobody doing anything about it...

    Funny that you would mention 1946, a time when racists Democrats were in power as your benchmark. Bravo!

    Do you have a point? You aren't even responding to me at all. You're acting like I support trump when I've made no such claim nor have I even hinted at that.

    And you low expectation comment is hilarious coming from a diehard partisan lefty. Could the left have lowered the bar any further in narrowing things down to hilary and bernie?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Do you have a comprehension problem?

    ONCE AGAIN, this is simply a ban of muslims. NOWHERE does he claim that it's possible to keep them all out.

    How on earth can you not see the difference?

    I'll give you another chance....try again.

    - - - Updated - - -

    No they're not and that's exactly why you couldn't elaborate on how my views and wishes are unamerican.

    My views are that we should preserve our way of life and not let it be destroyed. Good luck coming up with an argument that says that's unamerican.

    I said self-respecting, one of those clowns was a Rubio adviser, the rest all look to be linked to that loser Rubio, so I'll have to repeat myself. No self-respecting Republican is going to vote for Hillary over Trump...

    He just had lunch with Paul Ryan and Republican Congressmen in Washington the other day, and spent the day with them. Said it was an excellent meeting - Ted Cruz - Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton haven't been invited - nor has Obama - to lunch with them. So - which side appears to be caving? The Republican Establishment, or Mr. Trump? Appears that slowly - and there is a lot of time left, and the map and state primaries favor Mr. Trump going forward, that he is the one caving. If there is one thing Congress does know - it is how to protect itself, and in Trump's case, they have no ammunition to throw against him, so they will cave to protect themselves. Cruz - Kasich and the Republican Establishment, calling for a brokered convention - not ever going to happen. Paul Ryan as a compromise candidate, when Trump supporter's are saying they will remain true to him in Cleveland - never going to happen. That's why he got invited to Washington for a meeting with the Board of Editor's of the Washington Post Newspaper, and meeting's on the Hill..........don't some of you pay any attention to the news, or do you just watch CNN (Clinton's News Network), non-stop coverage of the missing Malaysian passenger plane, whoops - my mistake, the ISIS bombing in Belgium.............

    If "self-respecting" Republicans can vote for Trump, they can also vote for Hillary.

    But nowadays, any Republican who doesn't agree with Trump is a RINO to Trump worshippers. I guess the far right Republicans have finally run out of guys to alienate outside of the party.

    So now the definition of "self-respecting Republican"....is a person who supports Trump?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Dispondent is an utterly loyal GOP Partisan....he defends any Republican candidate and always pretends that there is no, zero, zilch internal strife in the GOP.

    Like the little kid who keeps telling people Mommy & Daddy "get along great" and that shouting the neighbors hear is "the TV."

    Donald Trumps says he is great friends with everyone and can work with everyone all the time. He is clearly not going to state that a meeting bad. Just because two people meet does't mean that they automatically agree with each other. And of course he is going to meet with Paul Ryan since they are in the same party. It would look horrible if Mr. Ryan didn't show up. And some of the other congressmen are horrible individuals who were in that meeting. Rep. Scott DesJarlais was in that meeting and supports Trump. Our amazing Rep. Scott DesJarlais is a pro life champion (also a doctor) who forced his ex-wife to have two abortions, and then talked one of two other mistresses into have an abortion as well. He had a total of six affairs. These are the type of people Trump attracts.

    lol...you do realize that its blue states...manufacturing states...that work the hardest and pay the most taxes right?

    Look up the stats on red states...they are the most likely to have their handout looking for government programs.

    I live in a blue state...we work hard here. But I'm far more concerned about rich people like trump getting government welfare and robbing me than I am about the poor.

    And if jobs have been exported, its due to the GOPs stance on deregulation and corporate subsidies..which allow companies to rape the American taxpayer and then move their profit centers off-shore to avoid paying taxes.

    Look up how Halliburton did it by getting rich on American taxpayer dollars and then moving their headquarters to Bahrain. And it wasn't the Democrats that allowed that.

    What has Obama done to stop it?

    IMO his sop of extended unemployment benefits didn't cut it.

    I expected more of him

    Trump claims he will bring jobs back. I don't hear Sanders Or Hillary saying that. Do you really want to live in a socialistic third world country?

    We're a tool no matter who we vote for.

    Trump has been both Democrat and Republican.

    I gave the O eight years, and look what happened: Muslims think they own the country already.

    Time to give someone else having another point of view a shot.

    You really don't care about your country at all do you?
    You only have what your chosen media tells you and you blindly swallow it, then parrot it.
    I almost feel sorry for you.
    You do however bring new meaning to the phrase, 'low info voter'.

    Oh he did not do anything that hadn't already been happening after 8 years of Bush and his nonsense. That, combined with the exploding social media, has created the illusion that country is "divided" at an never-before-seen level. But really, all that's different these days is that everyone has an outlet for every tiny thought they ever have in their lives and they're using it.

    Obama didn't do the dividing, we did it ourselves. The vast majority of folks on both sides of the aisle have never met Obama, but they've definitely met the Obama lovers and the Obama haters and those are the folks that color impressions just as much if not more than Obama himself. That's what has done the dividing. Not Obama, but us, communicating between ourselves at an unprecedented rate. That's why, nowadays, the conversations aren't just about how good or bad Obama is, they are about how good or bad "the liberals" and "the conservatives" are. We are projecting our dislike of each other onto our politicians.

    I know that's not as fun since it takes away an Obama attack point, but I think it's about time that some of you rabid anti-Obama folks descend back to Earth.

    Why don't we start judging people based on their actions, rather than being a media puppet. MSNBC says "Trump is misogynistic" In practice though, his wife and daughters campaign along side him. Even his ex's haven't said anything real terrible about him. Now look at Hillary charading as a champion of women. Meanwhile, she spent her legal career getting off rapists and laughing about it. She ruined the careers of anyone who exposed Bill's infidelity publicly.

    I feel embarrassed too but I'm more embarrassed that I let myself be taken in by the republicans in the last few elections.

    Trump may not save the country and may ****up a few times but the republican leaders have done nothing but lie about wanting to save the nation form 0-care, amnesty and the bloated budget so if Trump tries at all he may do good.
