Big disappointment.

After her SOU rebuttal I kind of expected it.

She probably wanted to endorse Jeb, but that was a bridge too far.

Marco was the only viable GOPe candidate left.

The establishment-Republicans are so hungry for the status-quo (the same group who have been damaging this country) that they'll risk a complete political meltdown rather than to have an outsider like Trump become their nominee.

Like I said in the beginning, even in this outlier of a scenario, the real tragedy in the Republican Party is that so many are throwing the baby out with the bathwater in attacking Donald Trump so viciously. But, to question such actions, would be to falsely assume they care about the party or its cause. They don't. They care about maintaining the comfortable position of power they have attained, and they expect you to comply or they'll "burn down the house." "The house" is both the party and the cause, in favor of their power. If you corner and threaten a vicious dog, he is likely to bite.

“Another great endorsement Sarah made.”

Need I remind you that Sarah also endorsed Ted Cruz for the Senate? That didn’t turn out too bad, did it?

People sometimes stab you in the back after you’ve put your name on the line to support them.

He’s been calling it a lot better than the national “conservative” hacks.

we are so thankful that Trump was a ‘brave soldier’ and slept with all those lonely women while their boyfriends were overseas... Risking catching all of those dangerous stds.

Dang noble of him. /sarc

Romney to Rubio to Haley. Simple really, when you add in Zuckerberg and fwd.org Amnesty Rubio.... and Amnesty Haley cause somebody’s got to cut the sugar cane, and both Haley and Rubio faked out the Tea Party and pissed off the Southern Democrat machine.

So, how is Donald going to fight this. Cause even Trey Gowdy is for Rubio— seriously. this is some weird politics. Where are the Statesmen?
