The GOP is doing its damnedest to lose this election
March 3, 2016 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/03/2016 10:45:08 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Keep blasting away at your leading candidate and trying to thwart the will of your voters, you will lose any chance at winning the presidency and you'll lose the House and Senate too.

Leftist open-borders RINOs Romney, McCain and the so-called GOP "leaders" are complete idiots.

They don't call it the stupid party for nothing.

It’s insane. A Republican just taped Hillary’s first general election ad.

“I think Walker and Cruz lost out in large part because they were too poor to self-finance a campaign”

The Walker campaign raised a great deal of money. They had the support of several wealthy donors and a large fund raising operation.

The problem was that the Washington DC based consultants who ran the campaign burned through the money very quickly and had no coherent message for the voters.

This was the biggest miscalculation of the entire campaign season or close to the biggest ever. What Trump could not do himself in coalescing the conservative wing of the Republican Party Romney caused it to happen.

Kudos to Rush Limbaugh for carrying his speech right now. I think Rush is on board against the establishment.

Apparently it is too much to ask the GOPe to suspend their anti-Trump and Cruz campaigns for the good of the country. Even though McCain suspended his campaign for President so he could come back to DC and vote for the good of the country. The GOPe are the phonies. Time to kick em out of our offices.

When will the GOP start listening to the VOTERS who ARE the GOP?
********************************************8

Never, they sold their souls to The Cheap Labor Express years ago.

The most important thing to them is blocking the citizens from retaining the rule of law and our country.

The people pipeline is paramount.
They’d rather lose than allow us to keep our country.

PASS THE WORD----LETS GET THIS OUT TO DONALD ASAP---Donald needs to take a cue from Pres Ronald Reagan. Donald needs to fly Trump Force One into every Congressional District The Washington Examiner targets to make sure they lose their elections.

BACKSTORY Reagan apparently got his 1981 economic recovery act and tax cuts passed was by threats to House and Senate members that he would fly Air Force One into their districts and make sure they lost their re-elections.(hat tip Democratic Republican)

Actually, Trump’s campaign adviser did exactly that. On Twitter.

LOL!

Checkers versus Chess

If the GOPe were smart they would ride the momentum of Trump to historic majorities in the House and Senate. Instead they seem intent on losing everything.

If Trump isn’t given a place in the so-called “big tent”, he will take his supporters and the Senate and House with him.

The circle-jerk know as the GOP punditry doesn’t seem to grasp this.

Thanks Jim Rob. and from the FRchives:
FReeper Grampa Dave perhaps said it best:
If Hiterily gets elected with enough votes in Congress, these will be the good old days.

The purists, who will stay at home because our candidate couldn't walk on water without getting the soles of his Teva's wet will have gifted us with another Clintoon pillaging.

HE should - clearly... and an alliance with The Donald would enable him to do so.

I tend to think they ARE willing to “lose it all”, meaning they are willing to lose the mask they wear of being an opposition party and make it known there is only ONE oligarchy running D.C.

I don’t call what happened in the last decade a velvet coup for nothing.

"would you rather continue being a Senator or would you rather be Justice of the Supreme court?"

Do you really have no trouble with Trump appointing "the biggest liar I've ever seen" (his words) to the Supreme Court?

It's amazing the extent to which the Teumpsters have abandoned principle just because a con man is promising them a boy's band, er, Yuge Wall.

Are we pretending the parties are still about winning and doing something based on principle? That concept has been dead for decades. Basically the day Reagan was shot...since then it has all been kabuki theater.

THEY WOULD RATHER LOSE TO THE DEMOCRATS THAN LOSE THEIR POWER TO TRUMP

AND CRUZ AS WELL TO A LESSER DEGREE

“Romney’s speech was a disaster. He did not change minds and just reminded America that he is a two-time Presidential loser.”

Let me help you edit:

Romney’s speech was a disaster. He did not change minds and just reminded America that he is a TWO-FACED, two-time Presidential loser.

You’re welcome !

I’ve spoken with a number of co-workers going for other candidates besides Trump in the primary, but who have emphatically stated that if he wins, they’ll vote for him in the general, to stop the PIAPS....and that includes Cruz supporters.
