Republican power brokers trying to steal nomination

It will be the end of the Republican Party, as true conservatives are sick and tired of being used, abused and ignored

With the Iowa caucuses getting closer and Donald Trump continuing to lead in the polls, the Republican Party power brokers are getting desperate.

It certainly looks like the GOP establishment will stop at nothing to wrest the party’s nomination away from Trump. On Monday night, a group of moderate insiders met with Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. They discussed the possibility of a brokered convention in Cleveland next July if Trump swept through the primaries with a delegate lead. The hope among the establishment is that the moderates will unite behind a candidate like Jeb Bush to defeat Trump in a one on one match-up.

Yeah. As much as I like Cruz, I really want Trump to run away with the GOP primary.

So Jeb will get 2% of the vote, and the GOPe will tell us “Jeb’s your nominee!” Serious?

Yesterday (3 pm PST) on Bret Baier’s FOX program, he had a couple of men on his program, and they were discussing how they were planning, plotting, and scheming to take over the convention. They were using ridicule-type words to describe “conservatives”; smirking and chuckling.

I considered this conversation to be petty; juvenile, and more like high school than supposedly competent, informed political party staff.

If they ruin the nomination process, then Trump and Carson should run under as Independents and create a new party called:

National Independent Party
and hold convention after the Election to get ready for 2018 congressional elections.

Actually I think the GOPe of today is far more liberal than the JFK dems.

Really .. America doesn’t have until 2018.

If we don’t win this election and take our country back, by 2018 there will not be an America to take back.

The terrorists are already here .. and since the left is welcoming them .. I expect it will only take a couple of years before the whole country has fallen apart.

And, it appears the DemocRATS/Progressives/Leftist Radicals are determined to destroy this country.
