LOL! The GOPe are scared spitless.

GO Trump/Cruz...Cruz/Trump

[Timpanagos1]

They are trying to get Jeb in the back door.

I dislike Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker as much as I despise Benny Thompson. None of them represent me or protect my interests. When Congress and the Senate removed themselves from Obamacare they showed the country that they were looking after their best interests at the cost of their constituents.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I knew it was a mistake for Trump to pledge to support the GOP nominee if he lose without demanding that they support him if he won.

...trying to get Jeb in the back door.

That would be Lindsey Graham...

[Boojum]

In an unprecidented move, over 1000 conservatives physically ejected the Republican powers from the convention, locked the doors, and declared the Republican Party back in charge.

If the GOPe pulls this trick again, I will vote third party.

[sportutegrl]

The Washington Post reported Thursday that party leaders -- including supporters of GOP presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio - met privately to discuss the possibility of a brokered convention, ostensibly to derail the hopes of a candidate deemed unelectable by party elites.

After two losses to Obama with "electable" candidates,

[Calpublican]

They couldn’t even keep their “secret” meeting secret.

“...without demanding that they support him if he won.”

Rush said he did as part of that deal.

[Yosemitest]

Hey you STINKING "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" !

Call 1-800-WHAAAAAAAAAAH !

Get over YOUR UNTRUSTABLE SELVES !

[jazusamo]

I love it. :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Tough Titty Said The Kitty! LOL!

Dorks. We SAVED YOUR @SSES in 2008 and 2012...and you haven’t done a SINGLE THING we asked you to do! You’ve aided 0bama every step of the way in our destruction!

Tone Deaf. I hope they’re scared. They should be. The Silent Majority is going to ROAR this next election.

And I can’t WAIT! :)

First thing President Trump should do is out Priebus on the unemployment line

[jazusamo]

RIGHT ON! Couldn’t agree more. ;-)

[Logical me]

Republican party is in the toilet. They are basically as corrupt as the communists Democratic party. It may be time to disband most of the party and rebuild during the next House and Senate elections.

[Dr. Sivana]

Whoever wins a majority of delegates should be the nominee.

If no candidate has a majority, then two or more candidates (NOT backroom brokers) should make a deal. Basically whoever has the most delegates has the most leverage, not so much, however, that he can just ignore number 2 and 3 who might be able to combine forces to get a majority.

If Trump and Cruz occupy the top two spots in any order, I don’t see a betrayal. Carson owes the “powers” nothing as well.

Carson and Trump don’t owe the powers. Cruz has no friends among the powers (his biggest donors aren’t in that pool either). Rubio and Kasich are cozy with the establishment.

John Ellis Bush is a punch line, but he should be eliminated just on principle.

[Fiddlstix]

It will not bother me one little bit if the GOP dies the death it deserves as long it is replaced with a true conservative party.
One that will fight the Dims and not make deals!

[Seaplaner]

Iowa radio host Steve Deace, who is supporting Cruz for president, told The Hill. "These people would rather lose elections than lose control of the party. And they'd rather have Hillary in the White House than someone the GOP base actually wants."

Senate [Sorority] Leader Mitch McConnell (?-Ky.) and Republican Committee Whatever Reince Preibus think that we are pretty stupid.

That Rinse Penis guy and his pals can KMA and ESAD.
