"GOP mad to think of expelling Trump, or ganging up,"

Too late. At least for "ganging up", that has already happened.

Good grief - these wusses have had 7 years to gang up on Obama and have done nothing.

What’s with Murdoch this last week? He’s been camouflaging his liberal colors.

They are attacking Trump because they are afraid of him. Thus the question you need to ask is: Why are they afraid of him? Then perhaps it is not so difficult to figure out why they are attacking him.

I also saw rumors that Trump and Carson might still decide to go 3rd party. Most people think that means say hello to President Hillary. I don’t think so. Trump is pulling voters fro everywhere, including democrats and independents. It won’t be easy, but I think he can still win it.

I agree that people underestimate Trump's appeal to traditional Democratic voters, but that simply means that no one will have an electoral majority. That puts the selection of our next president in the House of representatives. Who do you think will win there?

Did the light bulb go off in Murdock’s head? Murdock trying to put the stops to the GOPE operatives? No help is really needed when Trump easily takes the primaries in a walk, the GOPE would do like 1960 lawn chairs.

Murdock must be seeing Trump as his ratings money making machine in the next few years ...

The only way for Trump to win in the House of Representatives would be for a sufficient number of states to support the winner. They just might do that to avoid a crisis, but it is by no means assured.

It could become like a parliament at that time, with Trump trading cabinet positions for a state’s delegation vote.

The world is watching and praying Americans rise up an overthough the tyranny they suffer under.

They need hope.

“Good grief - these wusses have had 7 years to gang up on Obama and have done nothing.”

Typical GOPe...McCain and Romney couldn’t say enough nasty stuff, true or not, about their opponents in the primaries. However, as soon as they had the nomination, they immediately turned into “statesmen” and spent the rest of the election cycle genuflecting to the media and complimenting Obama.

Not sure if they are simply protecting their own self interests or if the DNC has enough dirt to bury them, but I am heartily sick and tired of their games.

Trump is definitely NOT a perfect candidate but the RNC will destroy themselves if they try to pick a fight with him at the convention!

I have an idea. Let’s let the Republicans decide by voting!! I know ,I know. That is risky for the Gope but I thought that is what this was all about. You screw with trump and you won’t be able to elect a damned dog catcher in the republican party.

The GOP is fine with Hillary winning and looking to use Trump as an excuse.

I am convinced that McCain had no intention of winning. He wanted the first black man to win the presidency, and he was making plenty from his perch in the Senate.

Romney I’m not sure about. The last few debates had me again convinced that he was throwing it, but he might have just been incompetent. I’m still torn on that one.

If THE PEOPLE who vote in the various Republican primaries and caucuses give the majority or polarity of their votes to Donald Trump, who the F is the GOPe to defy them???!!!!??

I’m not saying Trump will win, but if he does EVERY Republican politicians better DAMN WELL support him. Right now, Trump has a commanding lead over the other contenders.

And besides, what a bunch of traitors to the rank and file.

If in the end they won’t support the voters choice, why the HELL should the voters support them or theirs???

For the life of me I’m trying to figure out what they all have in common.

Thick "holiday" envelopes from the Saudis?

Perrino and Cheney have obvious ties to the Bush family.
Never heard of the other ones.

I don't think that Romney thing was ever to be taken seriously.

There may have been somebody who said they wanted a candidate like Romney this time, but slipping Romney in as a candidate wouldn't work and would guarantee defeat at the polls in November.

So many people talk about the uniparty and say that the Dems and the GOPe are the same thing -- who's to say that, after going through the stages of grief, the party establishment wouldn't just let Trump happen? Hillary would beat him at the polls and they'd get their party back afterwards.

During the Reagan years, I sent money regularly to the RNC.
Got Christmas cards from the White House every year, and bought my son a leather bomber jacket with Reagan embossed on it.

After a while I got to noticing that the questionnaires the RNC sent me would ask me to rank various issues in order of importance for me. Then they used that information to tailor the next set of solicitations to me. Feeling sorely manipulated, I dropped funding and they went away after a while.

Because I’m still a registered Republican, they send me stuff from time to time, which goes immediately into the garbage. And when they phoned me, while Michael Steele headed up the RNC, I told them as long as he was there, I was out. They haven’t bothered me since.

Well, I wish he had more influence over his two sons who are running FoxNews; because they certainly are getting more liberal by the day.

I think he’s really saying they just shouldn’t have let it leak.
