I would submit that the Republican “leaders” in Congress who have squandered the mandates given to them in 2010, 2012, and 2014 are equally, if not more, culpable in trashing the GOP brand.
EXAMPLE: Trump flew into Iowa on his gilded helicopter dressed like a successful businessman....reeking of glamour, money, success and power.
No hay bales and jeans for Donald. He took one bite out of the idiotic pork-chop-on-a-stick and put it down. A guy like Trump doesn't need the usual Iowa props to get votes.
As a lifelong Republican, I care nothing, nada, zip, zero for the “brand.”
It has been destroyed by the Likes of McConnell, Boehner, Corker, Cornyn, McCain, Alexander.......et.al.
These men stand for nothing except gaining power and money.
“Trump Accused of Trashing GOP ‘Brand’”
Bonus points for Trump. :)
I will vote for Trump because of the failure of the GOP before Trump even decided to run.
Listening to Glenn Beck Who is now saying that Donald trumps wife did porn films.... I just heard it.... Beck is scum
Beck is completing his meltdown, over Trump. What does that tell/confirm for us?
Beck -> Fraud
Beck sure is a big disappointment
So, what are you going to do? Stay home of vote third party? That will only help the “progressives”. Do you want this? And yes, Alexander and Corker who are my senators are RINOS. All you have to do is look with which party they voted most
Wow-he must think he has proof. If he doesn’t, Trump will come after him with a legal hatchet.
Beck seems to be unhinged.
Really pathetic.
She did one nude photo shoot, that hardly makes her a porn star. Trump will NOT be pleased to hear Beck trashing his wife. He was a danged drunk - so who is he to throw rocks at someone else?
Those lying idiots running the GOP don’t have anyone to blame but themselves.
Some people are simply terrified of higher cocaine prices.

Also a lifelong Republican and Conservative. I do believe that with the decline of the country and the corruption of the Republican party, our only hope is to shake up and change the Republican party, it’s too late for a third party. The path to election at this time for anyone who can or will lead us out of this is through the Republican party. All of us need to contact our Republican Senators and congressmen before they go back into session and demand leadership changes. All request for money from the RNC, RNSC, RNCC, by mail, phone or electronic should be responded to with NO money until Senate and House leadership replaced and Reince Prince replaced.
Why would you jump to the conclusion that I would stay home? Actually I voted for Romney even though he wasn’t my favorite.
My point is that the party is corrupt. There are individual Republicans who are honorable. The PARTY as a whole stands for absolutely nothing at this point in time. There is no argument that would convince me otherwise. I think I am not alone in that assertion.
The R leaders have no stomach for a fight. Most are old alcoholics who need to step aside for men who do have the will to at least put up a fight and not a “show” fight as McConnell likes to do.

Agreed. Disgust must lead to action to save the Party. It’s preferable to use the existing structure rather than establishing a third party.
Personally, I have written, called and emailed. Recently I posted strong comments on Reince Priebus’ public email site. I have called the offices and spoken with staff of many Congressional and Senate members, not only my own. I know that individual comments are not important but staffers do relay the general trend to their employers.
If everyone did this I believe we would see dramatic shifts in behavior, but it takes large numbers and persistence.
The GOP has no “brand” to trash. Thanks to the likes of McCain, Graham, Corker, Cornyn and other traitors.
The GOPE, still trying to polish up and put a bow on the turd of a Party they created and complaining when told they stink. Arrogant, elitist, lying, bribed, bought and paid for, out of touch douche bags infest the GOP in Washington and in many state capitals and make it a bad brand. I don’t think it can be saved at this point, just needs to go away.
