Get your postcards ready to go out tomorrow, Monday, April 4, 2016.
And I merely want Rayan and my congress-critters to know that some of the people are on to the fact that the party is propping up candidates that it knows are ineligible.
I wouldn't vote for ANY of them, just on that basis.
.
The last two elections have been Tweedle Dee-Tweedle Dum; no policy distinction. The half breed, McCain and Romney all agreed on government run health care, open borders, free trade, no war, etc. ad nauseum. No real choice.
This election will be another Tweedle Dee-Tweedle Dum if SWMNBN goes against GOPe. Trump is the fly in the ointment. I won’t stay home because I can always write-in a candidate. And I will.
Onboard!
Things have changed since Citizens United. Now the money has poured into K-Street from everywhere including from foreign interests. Now the pols in DC don’t need us. They are taken care of no matter what happens.
So “No Trump, No Vote” is just fine with the political establishment because it means they continue their cozy arrangement. Electing Trump ruins all that.
So “No Trump. Not Vote” plays right up their alley. That’s my point. It’s the wrong tact. It should be “Trump Is Coming For You No Matter How!”.
Trump should take the 1237 delegates and then the nomination. But if there should be a floor fight, then a 3rd Party run will be successful because registrations of Independents have surged enormously from 24% in 2010 to 42% in 2014, and there’s an additional 5% to 7% coming in from people that haven’t voted in years or never voted. Add 5% of Reagan democrats, 6% blue collar republicans who did not vote for Romney, add an additional 4% of the black vote, 5% of Hispanics and Latinos who never voted GOP, and clearly there’s a winning margin over the democrats and what’s left of the GOP.
“TRUMP NO MATTER HOW!”
Ryan might use those postcards for a barbeque. But if we send them to Trump, they’d get noticed then! Imagine bags stuffed with them pouring on on the floor.
To Paul Ryan make sure to add a PS....
PS: copy to Donald Trump.
Ah right. “I sent this warning to Paul Ryan.”
Similar to an ‘open letter’.
I don’t think they care who is elected president as long as it isn’t Trump, but those running down ticket do matter to the GOPe.
I am in! Another idea...how about as many Cruz and Trump supporters as possible show up at the convention...and demand fair treatment for our candidates and really us. Peaceful protest in the model of Tea Party protests of a few years ago.
I am in for postcards and protests. I wonder on the postcards though...maybe we should send them to the RNC rather than Paul Ryan who may have interest in becoming President. Pleibus is the man who can actually make sure things are “fair” for our candidates.
The Republicans screwed us twice. They lied to us to get our votes and then stabbed us in the back. It happened 8 years ago and the 4 years ago. NEVER AGAIN!
We are becoming desperate to maintain the way of life and morals we had in the 50’s but the erosion of that quality of life has been sold to the highest bidder for votes followed up by lies.
Granted, technology is much greater but morality and responsibility for one’s own actions is far, far worse. We have grown from depending upon ourselves to depending on the government and the Norman Rockwell’s America has been totally trashed in the name of political correctness.
I’m old now and hope I won’t be around to see the end of the story of the America I once knew...and it will certainly come soon thanks to our millennial generation, the women’s movement, and our Republican Party becoming a pseudo Democrat Party.
No form of government has ever survived in history and this government will soon go down in the history books as a repeat of the failures of all governments of the past.
Why? The answer is simple: Politicians stay in office by “doing the will of the people”. As time goes by laws, policies, rules and a whole host of “goodies” are thrown to the people to ensure votes. With each bag of goodies comes a string...they must vote for the giving party or politician to get these goodies. It’s kind of like baiting hogs into the trap. However, once the door slams down it cannot be reopened and the recipient of the goodie will watch his freedoms die.
We have come to this point and it may be impossible to at least change this direction we now take for a short while in our future history...but the day will certainly come...and soon it seems.
I’ll send a few. What could it hurt.
Perhaps GOPe needs to take that into consideration.
Always, someone unwilling to deal with the consequences of standing up to the man...
Just do the damn post cards...
“The only way we can hurt them is to elect Trump, and then force them, legally, to abide by long traditional rules, using Judicial Watch, et al, to handle the legal aspects.
Failing that, the Nation is gone, and WE are screwed.
“
The postcards are step one. If we “lose” we can talk about step two...remember the Solidarity movement in Poland. If we have the willpower we can bring them to their knees, peacefully.
In all of my years I have NEVER registered as anything other than independent. I have given to the party that ensured the freedoms granted by our founders (originally) and voted for them.
I am sure that there are millions like myself that have never been included in the ranks of the political parties of this nation and we all are the “wild card” and uncounted hidden voters when each party tries to predict anything in an election.
I think, this time my type of voter will show up in numbers never expected to prevent the last dying gasp of the air of freedom for our country.
Same result either way - stop trump and Hillary is almost automatic. Far more Trump fans would be willing to vote for Cruz than the other way around but the excitement would be gone and it's unlikely that Cruz would actually end up with the nomination even if he manages to stop the guy with the best chance.
Down the ticket is not front and center to the “No Trump, No Vote”. Down the ticket is what voters did in droves in 2014 AND IT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. Not voting down the ticket this go’round will only make the party hacks smile. It’s shooting oneself in the foot.
I hate to be a spoiler but “No Trump, No Vote” sounds sweet to the party hacks. They love the sound of that. It will make them smile to see those postcards.
What we have to understand today is the money spigots have turned on in a different room. Now understand the truism that “Money is the Mother’s Milk of Politics” and it’s easy to see that the party hacks and their establishment bosses don’t give a flying flip about voters. If the dems win, they are taken care of just the same because they enabled all of it and the foreign donors reward them for that.
What needs to be done is to out them.
Name names and send postcards that the jig is up.
Put out phone numbers of the hacks as was done to the pussy chair of the GOP in TN just yesterday. Now he needs a new phone number.
Go to their offices, their Churches, their homes and protest. Call them what they are, thieves and liars. Give them no peace! Don’t worry that it will be seen in the wrong light. People are so pissed now that it will bring more support, not less.
Confront any media that are known to lie about the situation. Name their names, personal phone numbers and addresses on social media and encourage confrontation, not violence but uncomfortable confrontation that doesn’t allow them peace. Use these actions as rallying cries to bring in more support. People are pissed, all people right down to little old ladies singing in Church Choirs.
Forget “No Trump. No Vote”. That’s a tactic from a playbook that is no longer relevant because of the changes in money flows brought on my Citizens United. Foreign interests and people who hate traditional America have captured DC through money. We no longer have a representational government. That’s what people have to wake up to.
First Rule: Don’t be stupid!
Second Rule: Follow the First Rule!
