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

( Thanks a lot. After I clean the coffee off my monitor I'll have to go track down the cat that bounced off the ceiling. )

Fully agree. These wussiecrat SOBs are slippery snakes.

"This is getting totally blown out of proportion," said Katie Packer Gage, a veteran of Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign whose consulting firm is assisting Rubio's efforts in Michigan.

And you're doing a fine job for the Rubester. Keep up the good work sweetheart.

So this is totally blown out of proportion and we're making too much of this? Yeah right. They want to make believe Mississippi did not happen.

I suggest Trump hold a Second Amendment rally coinciding with the convention. Just outside the doors. Open carry. 20,000 should keep them honest.

his candidacy could sink Republican hopes of holding the Senate
What do they want with a Senate majority? All they have done so far is up the cost of the protection racket they are running against the taxpayers.

What is going to sink their Senate majority is that the rank and file republican voters have concluded that they cannot be trusted with a republican majority.

Ain't that the truth. Don't bother calling on the TEA Party to hand you the keys to the kingdom again, Mitch. I doubt anyone will take his calls.

Maybe they can bring back Karl Rover to run Whitman and FioRINO again and attack all the Conservatives.

I think the house and Senate "leaders" figure if Trump or Cruz wins they will ALSO lose their power. We are really witnessing (forcing?) an epic battle folks...

Dream scenario ... Trump elbows out the current schmuck, appoints Sarah Palin with instructions to flush the RNC toilet with extreme prejudice. No more McCain shenanigans and no more Mississippi madness. Primary all those SOBs.

I had suggested earlier that newly appointed RNC Chairwoman Sarah Palin should hang suicide nets all around RNC headquarters, but I was wrong. Skip the nets.

Good point and I agree...never hesitate to make your voice heard. I will do likewise.

It probably pays to be courteous and sensible but firm in what you want. Sometimes I have a hard time containing myself about certain issues but I do.

They understand most people are too unmotivated to call but that the views they get do represent thousands or millions of others that do not call.

The best strategic response that all conservatives would be wise to take is to register, or remain registered, as a Republican.

That way we can all vote against any and all GOPe candidates in the primaries and caucuses.

There was speculation on Fox and Friends this morning that the GOPe is going to try to put up Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney at the convention. That would be a suicidal move. But then IMO the Republican party has outlived itself and it would be a kindness to kill it and start a new and genuine Repulican Party.

He can’t, but that should have been Trump’s response to making him sign the “no third party” pact.

“and it just feeds the narrative that the establishment is completely out of touch with the base.” “

It’s a fact, not a narrative.

“This sounds like the talk of insurgency...”

Actually, the statement falls more in line with imagery.

And they are correct. People vote for them ‘NO MATTER WHAT” liberal BS they pull. So yes. “We” are incredibly stupid.

Whats worse is that we all know what they are and make excuses to vote for them anyway. If that isn’t the height of abject stupidity, nothing is. And if any of the little liberal GOP sycophants wish to explain how the above is in any way untrue, have at it. I need a laugh today.

Remember Mississippi!
