Re: Exile would work for me.
I prefer the classic treatment for traitors.
Exile on the moon?
Oh, that is the correct answer, but not the politically correct answer that he was looking for. After all, Trump is evil...just ask any “Principled Conservative”.
Principled Conservatives would rather lose to the liberals than see anyone not meeting their exacting standards of pure conservativeness win.
“He will have to explain to his supporters about him being a Shareholder with Goldman Sachs “
It’s possible that many of us are shareholders via pensions, 401(k)s, etc. We just don’t know it because it’s bundled with other things. Holding shares is different from being in a full-time decision-making position.
Another FReeper (jimbo123) suggested something disturbing. Here it is:
“If Cruz wins a good number of delegates, Rove and Priebus will DECLARE HIM INELIGIBLE and STRIP HIM OF HIS DELEGATES and give them to Jeb at the convention.
That’s why Jeb is sticking around. Jeb is counting on a brokered convention with a GIFT from Rove and Priebus of Cruz’s delegates.”
“he is also undeniably a showman. Another P. T. Barnum? Dudley J. LeBlanc?”
Ronald Reagan?
“Hijacking Trump’s nomination with rogue delegates brokering their votes to others would be the end of the GOP.”
Yeah. I wonder what we could do, if anything. How could we revolt? I sure do think they’re up to something to hand it over to Jeb. There’s no other reason he’d still be hanging in there. He’s too prideful not to have stepped aside already with some small measure of dignity.
“They” hate Cruz almost as much as they hate Trump. I think Cruz-ers and Trump-ers both need to be aware of the possibility of monkey business at the Convention.

No need to revolt. It is probably over anyway. The GOPe has misused the coalition of Constitutionalists, anti-statists, and nationalists over and over to the point where there is no acceptable GOPe candidate.
Riding on the TRUMP TRAIN
all the way to
TRIUMPH!
Is there a trigger lock on that? /S
I couldn’t agree more.
Thank you very much. Hopefully, a tsunami of fresh blood is swept into office with Trump’s election, in the down ticket races. People will be emboldened to challenge the status quo like never before.

Is there anything more amusing yet simultaneously maddening than having the media and those here with a different perspective trying to lump all those who are supportive of Donald Trump's candidacy into a homogeneous stereotype? Trump supporters come from a much wider swath of society than any other politician that I can remember. The ladies at the Vietnamese nail salon where my wife goes love him. They probably couldn't even name any of the other candidates. Then there are our many friends at the Ronald Reagan Club; it has taken many a while to warm up to Trump but they almost all want to go with a winner.
I have become quite frustrated with most politicians and like you my wife and I come into personal contact with many. Most of those we know well enough to come to meaningful conclusions about are at the state and local level. But still when we say that we are frustrated with them, it has a different meaning than those who just watch politicians on TV or read about them. We know some that are very good well meaning people and more who are complete jerks. If one is relying on the media to try and determine which is which you will never know for sure. Unfortunately, their political affiliation doesn't always have a great deal of predictive value either.
It is refreshing to have someone who is unafraid to speak their mind regardless of the consequences running for higher office. It is a miracle that people are relating to him directly and not relying as much on the media to shape their opinions. The media and the establishment thought they would be able to kill off his candidacy long ago.
We were watching the “Red Eye” show on FOX last night, often it just irritates me, but last night there was something that I found interesting. First they showed Jeb’s new TV commercial that shows Hillary getting elected and saying she couldn't have done it if she hadn't been running against Trump. My wife and I were totally disgusted and everyone on the “Red Eye” said they thought it was pathetic. The host said that Jeb has spent 50 million dollars on his campaign so far and he might has well have just lit it on fire.
After that they showed a Tweet from Donald Trump with a photo-shopped cover of Cruz's book that changed the title to “A Time To Lie” with a balding Ted Cruz on the cover. All of them tried to say it was disgusting and horrible but none of them could keep a straight face and most couldn't even make it through a full sentence without laughing. My wife and I admire Ted Cruz, but we couldn't stop from laughing either. So Donald passed on something stupid on Twitter that didn't cost him a dime and it was far more effective and memorable than Jeb’s expensive and disgusting TV commercial.
To me its a good example of how Jeb spends other people's money on the campaign and Donald spends money on the campaign like its his own... which for the most part it is.
Excellent! For some reason or another, my first look completely missed the script on the back of the fuze lighter. Amen!
I went to a conservative rating website of Congress today. Michelle Malkin was at the fore, and that was sufficient credentials for me. Several stalwarts for the GOP had an F rating, especially those that had come up the ranks from the House with grade A conservative credentials, only to turn into mush in the Senate. In other words, those with spines and testicles need not apply. It was infuriating to learn of this transition. The perks must really be something for this to happen. Disgusting.
I am now more determined than ever to support Trump. I may be going out on a limb, but business as usual has gotten us, the base- seven miserable years of wandering the wilderness and incredulously, we've had majorities for most of that time frame- so, I'm giving my vote to Trump, to clean house. GRRR! Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir so I'll raise my glass in a toast, and bid you a farewell for tonight.
Paul Ryan- F
Jeff Flake- F / My Senator in AZ.
John McCain- F / My Senator in AZ.
John Cornyn- F
Just to name a few.
