    "The Republican Party is host to many millions of people who fell prostrate before a flamboyant charlatan, despite, or perhaps even because of, his compulsive dishonesty, his moral cowardice, his cruelty and pettiness, his blatant and unapologetic ignorance and disinterest in the most important issues facing our country, his liberalism and so on. As Trump said himself, he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and these people would still follow him.

    That’s why I’m leaving. It’s also why you’re dying. It’s not my fault, and it’s not even Trump’s fault. Trump is just a parasite who took advantage of a weakened immune system. He’s the violent case of dysentery that finally kills the frail man who was already sick with a thousand other exotic diseases."

    I don't particularly like the Blaze, especially they're religious bent, but Walsh makes some excellent points. One thing seems likely, and everyone agrees accept the trumpster idiots, the GOP is (or soon will be) D-E-A-D. Anyway, Gary Johnson has my vote.

    Beck is a feckless fool when it comes to politics. Anyone who actually believes what he says politically is a bigger fool. I think he has a mental problem actually. He thinks anything he 'figures out' is somehow unassailable. I do respect his work with the Christians in the ME though.

    Well, when Trump is president, at least you'll know you did your part for Gary Coleman.

    There's a huge disconnect between how the elites in the GOP view free trade and expanding H-IB visas vs. how the base views those things.

    You can always tell whether they were a republican supporter, just by the language they use.......

    You're a Glen Beck groupie, so do you know who is taking over his radio show after he followed thru with committing suicide if Trump won Indiana?

    What Beck is sobbing about is that the far religious rightwing that dumps millions of dollars on Beck doesn't control Trump. Maybe you should pray harder to save the USA from the heathens.

    Just like the Republicans never had balanced a balance budget and ALWAYS consistently had the highest deficits ever, compared to the Democrats, and when the 4th year of a Trump administration arrives and there is NO "wall" despite billions spent, middle class Americans will be making LESS even than the current excuse of a minimum wage, and China and Mexico both will have made sweet personal deals with Trump that exclude most every other American from making a living.....


    every of each Trumpette supporter will STILL be thinking that Trump is going to make "America Great again"!. And every American flag and Trump banner and "America Hat" will still be "Made in China". Trump will be simply changing the foreign content laws will be just a slogan

    The problem with this talking point is it's wrong. Congress sets the budget, and more directly the House is Constitutionally bound to originate budget bills. If we look at debt increases based on House control, quite a different story (one you will not like of course) emerges.

    [​IMG]

    Of course, this fib happens more often than not from the left. Reagan never had a Republican controlled House. Every budget he signed originated from Democrats. Clinton's so called surplus...from a fully Republican Congress and their Contract with America. Obama's lowering of the deficit? From a fully Republican Congress that the left whined and moaned about using terms like "holding the country hostage" and "austerity".

    That's ironic (assuming you're in the middle class with the rest of us). Do you think trump is in touch with anyone not bringing in 7+ digits annually? If so, congratulations you're a *trumpster.

    There was no link, so I'm going to ask you… does your chart include the spending for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars as part of the debt, or just domestic spending?

    Trump is a street fighter, and the Republican base grew tired of the gentile country club type of candidate.

    #1. He's running for the Oval Office not Thunderdome

    #2. Trump is a) very much a gentile and b) an owner and patron of country clubs.

    #3. The "base" wanted someone who'd drop the pretence (wink,wink) of dog whistles and code words and just come out say we don't like People Who Ain't Like Me.

    Jus' my opinion of course.

    He's an arrogant, self-centered rich-boy. And America WILL suffer if he's voted in as President.

    First off political parties adjust and adapt to stay relevant. The Republican Party this year seems to be in an adjustment year of adjusting and adapting to the different environment for the last 20 or 30 years. After 1964 the Republican Party was supposed to become irrelevant, but they come back and won in 1968. After Watergate in 1974, again the Republican Party was thought would become part of history like the Whigs, they came back and won in 1980. The Republican Party had what was referred to as the presidential lock during the 1980's and the Democrats were not suppose to the presidency for the next 30 years. They came back and won in 1992.

    As for Trump, keep in mind 60% plus of all Republican primary voters voted for someone else. There still is a sizable anti-Trump faction within the Republican Party even though everyone knows he will be their nominee. Quite a lot of Republicans are not happy with Trump as their nominee, although they are resigned to that fact. A lot of Republican candidates in close races are running away from Trump. Distancing themselves from him.

    But this match up of Trump vs. Clinton is not one the American people want. Both candidates are strongly disliked outside of their supporters. Here are a couple of interesting articles concerning that.

    Violence will be required to quell the anarchists and occupy rejects who will insist on disrupting Trump rallies through intimidation.

    I would hope Republicans have the common sense to open/conceal carry when allowed by law and be ready willing and able to crack skulls when necessary.

    Could you see this happening at a Romney rally? They'd turn tail and run.

    Look what happened in Seattle, Washington during the May Day events...the anti-capitalists rioted.

    I'm quite serious, I fully expect violence to erupt at Trump rallies instigated by Progressive extremists..and as Newton's 3rd law of motion states, for every action an equal and opposite reaction should be expected.

    Thunderdome is in fact a good analogy. We've already seen violence and arrests from Leftists attempting to intimidate Trump supporters at organized Trump events, and it's not even the general election campaign yet.

    Politics and violence have been part of the American landscape since our inception...

    There's a reason why subsequent drafts of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence didn't contain attacks on the British people. People tend to flick you off when you insult them.

    I tend to agree. I don't like Beck at all. This was not written by Beck though. And like I said, I don't particularly like the Blaze but this article was mostky spot on.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Noone is drafting the declaration of independence. This was an op-ed and the people insulted need to hear it. They killed our party. They can gfts

    First off, you're completely off the deepend, a complete freaking lunatic, if you think trump will win the wh. There's only one person more giddy than trumpsters and thats hillary. Second, you completely underestimate the damage that will be done to gop incumbents by trump winning the nomination.

    So name calling is all you've got? Typical liberal. You and everyone else has, so far, completely underestimated Trump.
