4-in-10 GOP insiders want to derail Trump at the convention
Politico ^ | June 10, 2016 | Steven Shepard

After a rocky start to his general-election campaign, a sizable number of GOP insiders want the party to change the rules to short-circuit Donald Trump’s nomination at the July national convention. Nearly four-in-10 Republican members of The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of activists, operatives and strategists in 10 key states — would like to see changes that could deny Trump the party’s nod after the presumptive nominee began the November campaign without a credible campaign structure, in addition to making a series of erratic and inflammatory comments. Among the comments was a recent suggestion that an American-born judge presiding over a civil suit in which he is a defendant can’t be impartial because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.

No kidding

What people forget ( or maybe never knew) was that the same D.C. political class was insane about Reagan too. They tried floating the same nonsense before the convention. Even at the convention they kept trying to get Reagan to nominate Ford as his VP. We got stuck with Daddy Bush but at lest it wasn’t Ford.

This group has been screwing us for decades

They just don’t get it. We the people won this time for a change. The elites aren’t the ones dictating this election. They can try to take us and our candidate down, but we’re at the point where we’d let the whole house (party) burn if they do that.

The remarkable thing is the snivelers in the party most criticizing Trump over his remarks about Curiel have never criticized the Democrats for making the same argument for over four decades now when it comes to white judges, justices, and juries. Nor did they complain when Sonia Sotomayor explicitly said that her ethnicity and gender play a role in her decisions on the bench. Thus, these back-stabbing cucks are just as responsible for the radical double standards as the hard leftists who invented them in the first place. They disgust me.

Educate me please, where do you see Trump going ‘hard left’?

And with the evidence of Cruz’s power of persuasion, please tell me how he will stop anything?

I’m truly curious.

Only four in ten insiders? I’d have thought it would have been 10 out of 10. Maybe some getting the message.

I dream Trump could humble himself, act like every other gutless politician surreptitiously attend Romney's conference off the political record, privately, sneak and weasel and ask face to face for forgiveness and reconciliation as a Christian brother for anyone there he has personally offended, whine cry and vomit out apologies, with Dr. Ben Carson at his side.

Sorry but Trump, like him or not, is a MAN not the gutless wonders that we have been cursed with for the past few decades.

Can you just imagine if Trump wins in a landslide? Then he can go postal on the RNC nevertrumpers. Talk radio shoes will have a “Come to Jesus” moment, and a lot of arses like Hewitt will be gone.

That will be their just rewards.

In the meantime, we can boycott their abusive bs by not listening to them. Their audience levels will plummet and so will their ad $’s.

If Slasher Beck makes it to the election, he is getting funding from someone who hates Trump!

I happen to like Donald Trump, a lot, and want him to be our next President, as does Dr. Ben Carson.

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

It says to submit to God. Not to people who get their lacy panties in a bunch every time you tell the truth.

Now a verse for the meeting of the democrat doormats.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Psalm 119:165

Perhaps they should quit their mutual admiration society and get themselves to a prayer meeting so they can learn to love His Law.
