I apologize if this article about yet another RINO splodeyhead has already been posted. But it's too good to pass up. This is exactly why people are leaving the GOP in droves.

No worries. Simple logic has left the house on the GOPe. That jackass Wilson just sealed his career. Maybe this jerk will implode on himself as well. The sad thing is that these “strategists” undoubtedly don’t know squat about strategy.

You know, appealing to causes that elements of both sides can agree to, once the firm logic is convincingly stated, can be a much better way to handle “purple” areas (red & blue) than pandering to a lowest common denominator. Stand for something principled, help others to hop on-board, and win based on what is right (and not what is politically expedient or correct).

Go Trump and Cruz!

I agree. Stand up for what’s right for America and see what happens. What a concept!

Castellanos...huh wonder why curbing Hispanics in OUR country bothers him? No doubt he knows many with anchor babies. Maybe his firm uses those H-1B workers.

From Wikipedia:

Alejandro “Alex” Castellanos is a Cuban American political consultant. He has worked on electoral campaigns for Republican candidates including Bob Dole, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney

IOW, Cuban RINO chattering class deluxe.

The GOPe is plainly telling us that the big government and cheap labor advocates are going to run the show. The conservatives are welcome to vote,ring doorbells,and send in money but they’ll have to shut up and get with the program because what they want ain’t gonna happen period.

The fear within the consultant/”strategist” class is strong. At some point, well-meaning candidates will have to say to these idiots, “why should I pay you when all you do is lose elections?”

Conservative Republicans are afraid of looking bad on any and every issue, so they fold or compromise on any and every issue.

Democrat strategists tell their candidates to do the opposite and to be bold with their stances. Democrats play the “bully card” to stop Republican aggression when attacked.

Trump and Cruz are sure refreshing to witness, but especially Trump.

The GOPe is in a flat out panic over the candidates it has not been able to control.
Trump is not beholden to any donors and says what he pleases. Heads explode.
Cruz stands on the floor of the Senate and calls out the spineless leadership. More heads explode.

Seems to me these are the types of leaders we need right now.

Every election we get the "next-in-line" candidate. Dole, Bush, McCain, Mitt as examples, and they turn out to be dead from the neck up. Molded elitists who are mere puppets to the GOP money donors.

Time for a real change or say goodbye to America.

I still find it amazing that some of us, even here on FR still think the Republican Party is a home for conservatives and Constitutionalist.
The GOP and the GOPe hate us as much or more than the Democrats do.
If Trump goes third party, he has my vote. If not and Cruz is the Republican nominee, he has my vote.
Other than that, third party or write in.

This guy has it backwards. If Trump WINS there will be a purge of the GOP establishment. If Trump loses (nomination or general election), the establishment continues as is. That is why the GOP establishment wants him to lose.
