“...And, truth be known, most of them aren’t showing leadership, just pettiness....”
How about they just start acting like grown Men instead of whiny little bitches, and put the needs of the Country ahead of their own egos...
Sixteen years ago (hard to believe it was so long ago) you and I were online supporting our favorite possible nominee..you for Forbes, me for Quayle. GWB money overwhelmed what could've been a great presidency, Quayle/Forbes, and we'd be a whole different nation today. If Forbes had used more personally available money and Quayle had strongly defended an alternative spelling of potato, and they had teamed up to fight against the Bush big money donor machine we wouldn't be near the bottom of this slippery slope.
Is it really a good idea to bring Walker to DC at this point? We need someone who from experience knows how it works, fights back, and won't be overwhelmed. Walker didn't even defend himself when he was accused of saying in private he wouldn't "go nativist". He's young. In four (if he's VP) or twelve years he'll be seasoned, and we'll know if he should be president.
And maybe the best thing that could happen would we a President Trump bringing in Forbes to fix the economic mess and Quayle to unravel foreign affairs.
Of course he would. Not genuflecting in his presence is deemed “mistreatment” in Trump’s narcissistic mind.
But the reason he’ll go third party is because he intends to give his friend Hillary a huge assist, as splitting the anti-Hillary vote guarantees her the election. And look for the quid pro quo payoff to follow.
“Art of the deal” and all. As his supporters say, it’s “just business.”
Losing has not taught them anything. You are on a fool's errand.
The Stupid Party is making quite a bed for themselves. A Smart Party would be reacting to Trump just like the Evil Party reacts to Joe Biden.
Food for thought!!! We, Conservative Republicans fought so hard to win the Senate and keep the House, which actually happened...but we gained nothing IMHO. Both Mitch McConnell & John Boehner, along with their lockstep establishment RINOs have caved on every item to POTUS Obama!!! I still keep my Republican registration, so that I can vote in Republican primaries, but in my heart I am now considered an Independent.
Having said that....I urge Donald Trump to seriously consider running as a third party candidate, which will insure that the Republicans will lose the POTUS election, in 2016!!! The country, of course, will continue to come apart and fail, as well as being openly attacked by the enemies of the USA.....but I cannot in good stead, vote for a Republican establishment RINO and support the RNC as it now exists. IMHO, Both “weal sister” McCain & Romney “gave away” their elections to Obama!!! Obama, Clinton & the entire Democrat Party are fatal poison for the USA from A-Z!!! Instead of bad mouthing Donald Trump, the RNC & the Republican POTUS candidate group should be supporting Trump, or, constatly attacking Obama, Clinton & the Obamabot, hate America, Democrat Party.
Today, the House will vote on “Kate’s Law”, already being mocked by Nancy Pelosi and the WH as “Trump’s Law”.....and we have heard not one word from either McConnell, Boehner, the RNC, or, any of the Pubbie Candidates in rebuttal, other then Trump, Cruz, Carson, Fiorina!!! The Republican establishment/RINOs continue to work hand in hand with the “Obama thugs”!!! Sickening!!!
RE: In order for history to repeat itself, the GOPe need to coronate another Bush as their squishy RINO candidate.
Very high likelihood of that happening too.
And you will love everything Madame Hillary does, because you enabled her.
Trump reminds me of my 3 year old grandchild. “Wah, wah, wah...look at me...look at me.”
That anyone could take this man seriously as a presidential candidate stymies me.

Department of Education - ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
“BINGO!! Hello, President Hillary!”
Unfortunately, the Trumpettes are OK with that.
I remember.
And if we had voted for Mittens, we’d still have Obamacare and probably would have gotten amnesty immediately, probably his first act as President, and then say hello to permanent leftist control over the country.
“NEW YORK — Donald Trump says the chances that he will launch a third-party White House run will “absolutely” increase if the Republican National Committee is unfair to him during the 2016 primary season.”
“Unfair?” As in “failure to kiss his a**, to His Holy Bloviating Brashness’ liking.
Well...you got to be a stinking lawyer to be part of the "in crowd" that controls DC....
The lawyers have a choke hold on our government and THAT"S the very thing that's killing us....
Sure...we need a stinking lawyer every now and again....but it's businessmen that makes capitalism work...and we are after all....CAPITALIST... Yes..?
MHO....
“....say that Trump is badly hurting the GOP brand.”
Now that is funny right there.
I personally believe that one single person could not hurt the “GOP brand” anymore than what it is hurting right now.
We gave the GOP the House and the Senate and what have they done? Aided and abetted the _Resident Muslim.
They have undeniable proof of lawlessness in the Obama administration. Almost every alphabet organization has broken the law and what has the GOP in the House and Senate done about it? Nothing. They hold “special committee” meetings so the chest thumpers can get in front of the camera.
You have a white hating Eric Holder who lies under oath, is caught and should have been put in jail goes free. Then who is allowed by the GOP to be replaced by an even more white hating black female.
No, the GOP brand destroyed it’s own brand
The blow here thats going to really leave a mark is the one he landed on Hillary.
Points out that she’s totally in bed with the Wall St. barons, says he’s telling the barons not to worry because Hillary doesn’t really mean what she’s saying.
it’s so clear that’s what is up here, I am astounded that all freepers can’t see that.
Exactly! You and I are on the same page.
If you saw Cruz’s interview with Hannity last night, his focus is squarely on the prize of Constitutional Conservatism and he got his shots in whenever he could on the current administration and it’s buddies in the Ruling Class.
His comments when questioned about Trump? He focused to fortify the issues Trump is raising, not getting into the infantile garbage the RNC is peddling.
It will be decided in the debates. Most everything beforehand is essentially background noise.
Character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking.
