Here is a picture of someone who is never going to be president.

Blaa blaa blaa. Was there a place to click to donate $25, $75, $100...? Stop whining and do something already. Every Republican that is basting in his own 15 minutes of fame by supporting Hillary should be receiving a memo letting him know, there will be no support for any future campaigns. But wait, these are Republicans, weak talk and surrender is all we can expect.


Yeah, Rinse could end this real quick by simply saying any candidate who breaks “the pledge” will not be appearing on a GOP primary ballot as long as he is Chairman.

Golly, I hope somebody from the RNC is aware of this thread.

I want to say to him or her, as the case may be, Get a CLUE! It was the GOP leadership's cowardly, tone-deaf, and self-dealing way of dealing with the conservative voters that put you in this fix.

IF you had cared as much about Conservative principles as you do about your position and compensation, you might not be swaggering about like tin-pot dictators threatening to punish people who don't like the mess YOU have made of things.

Listen to these words that are coming out of my keyboard: Trump means it is no longer business as usual. You GOP Progressives have lost the thread here. After these primaries you still have the face to think it is your job to tell US what to do.

You may tell yourself that the Trump phenomenon is about poking a stick in the Democrats’ eyes. Have you already forgotten the primaries? YOU were repudiated and rejected.

Let me suggest this: IF you gutless wonders had backed up the GOP ticket in Virginia in 2013, sure, we might have lost anyway. But you picked up your skirts and ran into the swamp! And what WE learned was that you don't care enough about constitutional principles, about freedom, or about the rank and file to go to the mat to defend any of them, or any of us.

So, look. Bugger off, okay? Come back when you have something other than swagger and threats.

This just shows that those who haven’t stepped up to honor their pledge are now, and have been liars.

Numbers 30:2
New International Version
When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.

Integrity: a man’s word is his bond. Yeb, Ted and others cannot be trusted to do what they say they will do. They cannot be trusted by honest men.
But Yeb, Ted, RATs—the `rats are always hiring ...

I think this means that those that have controlled the party to the detriment of the party are no longer in control. the fact that it looks as if trump will win has made it so the power base of the McCain ,Bush and Romney has been eroded and that is good. My guess is that there is going to be a big change over in the senate and house of repersenitives

If Kasich wasn’t 100% sure he could support everyone running in the primary, he shouldn’t have done so. Trump was the only one who had enough gumption to not pledge to do so when first asked - he waited for clarification and assurances he would be treated fairly.

Yep. Cruz will endorse once it no longer matters. That`s why he no longer matters.

Doesn’t that violate the eighth amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment?

Nope. Perfectly constitutional.

I don’t see what’s cruel and unusual about giving them exactly what they want up close and personal right in front of their faces where they can smell it and taste it.

Well, until there actually IS a penalty assessed, the RNC will not be getting a dime of my money no matter how many solicitations they send my way.

You’re right, but that comment about smelling and tasting Hillary almost made me lose my dinner.

This is no shock. A number of GOP mainstays have openly sold out Trump and even some declared their efforts to back an independent rather than support Trump. But this comes back to haunt as these arrogant, self important idiots think they are better than the people’s choice. Time will get even with them.

I apologize to you personally.

I have gone a wee bit crazier since my latest brush with my own mortality.

It’s just that I really hate these RINO never trump pieces of garbage, and I would love to give them what they seem to want right down their throats.

Please forgive me for my overly illustrative language. I know it is am awful thing to contemplate, and I do feel bad ><;

I do believe the VOTERS have that particular punishment sewed up.

Mr Cruz is going to need a Private Sector Job and needs to be posting his Resume NOW (he can only live off his Wife’s Money so long), if She turns on him... poor bastard will end up a Poor Preacher in the outer area of some Bum Freak Canada small town without a zip code nor address and feel damned Glad to Have it!
HE IS DEAD TO ME and his lil buddy Jeff Row has heard it from me many times!
It is WAY TOO Late for Ted to get his Mind Right ...
