Every Republican of the type concerned with winning in November has been asking the question (at least internally): "What if the worst happens?"
The worst does not mean the nomination of Ted Cruz, in spite of justified fears of political disaster. Cruz is an ideologue with a message perfectly tuned for a relatively small minority of the electorate. Uniquely in American politics, he has made his reputation by being roundly hated by his colleagues - apparently a prerequisite for a certain kind of anti-establishment conservative, but unpromising for an image makeover at the convention. Cruz's nomination would represent the victory of the hard right - religious right and Tea Party factions - within the Republican coalition. After he loses, the ideological struggles within the GOP would go on.

And there it is...
Whatever party or parties that adopted a budget funding Planned Parenthood after videos showed they were selling dead baby parts for profit needs to be destroyed.
Whatever political party or parties that voted to fund ‘refugees’ to come to our country and murder our citizens needs to be destroyed.
Destroy the GOPe. From the ashes, let a Phoenix rise!
Yep. They don't even bother to hide it anymore.
Grievous wolves among the flock. This is, sadly, what the previous president’s administration had no problem allowing to proliferate.
- Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. …
- Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” …
Something that is really bothering me is the sweeping, cruel, hyperbolic, invective hurled Donald Trump’s way. Granted he can take care of himself and responds every effectively, but I would like to see these people, of every ideological stripe, have to prove the terrible things they say in a court of law. And I would like to issue a challenge to everyone on this forum. And that is, criticize the candidate(s) of your choice freely, challenge others’ beliefs, but avoid extreme and crazy language and be prepared to back up what you say. And, by the way, repeating media lies that have been proven false, does not an effective argument make.
Trump is a Communist?
Was Trump in the previous president’s administration?
I was referring to Gerson, and that comment he made about “social justice”.
I guess it’s just confirmation but it’s very sad to see it in print, out there like there’s not a thing in the world wrong with it. Some days it’s difficult not to just hang my head and cry but that won’t do any good—so it’s trudge on and fight.
It’s fulfilled prophecy. Isaiah 3:4 is just the tip of the iceberg. With the world going “multi-polar” again, I think we can surmise where this is headed.
“...politics an honorable...” If it was, none of these things would be happening...the bunch of lying politicians in DC are directly responsible for the present state of affairs. They campaign on one platform and, immediately, legislate (a stretch, I know) on another...McConnell “...look at how many Amendments we voted on...”
“,,,, is disqualified for the presidency by his erratic temperament, his ignorance about public affairs and his scary sympathy for authoritarianism. But for me, and I suspect for many, the largest problem is that Trump would make the GOP the party of racial and religious exclusion”
I give you Obama.
We’re going to need a bigger boat...think I will head off to bed and read Isaiah. God bless and goodnight, Olog-hai
The most disgraced people in the nation.
They brought us GW Bush AND as a result, Obama.
I stopped reading when I read this:
"It [his angry resentment against invading Hispanics and Muslims]is not consistent with conservatism, which, at the very least, involves respect for institutions and a commitment to reasoned, incremental change."
The "invading Hispanics and Muslims" are not "reasoned, incremental change." The Hispanic invasion is creating unreasonable quick change that is having serious consequences. The huge inflow of illegal drugs have created Latin drug gangs and the associated violence. Criminal acts of all descriptions have come with the "invading Hispanics." The cost for social services have increased dramatically. No, this is not "reasoned and incremental change." Nor will the inflow of Muslims be "reasoned and incremental change." Check out the world's testing grounds in Germany, Sweden and France. They are having horrendous problems because of the Muslim "invasion." Americans would not stand for their daughters raped by these Muslim savages. And, they would not like entire communities turned over to Sharia law overnight. The change in America from the Muslim invasion would be so fast, Americans would not have time to react with "reasoned and incremental change."
From the party’s own mouth. Compassionate conservatism and social justice to get more victim group members takes priority over the US Constitution. “Feelings” and ‘feelgoodism’ over substance and justice according to the rule of law.
In truth, the GOP has finally reconciled itself that values don’t matter, it’s the number of new members it can get, and if pandering to them and giving up your core values and principles is needed, then so be it.
The party will have to be burned to the ground, frankly. There isn’t a way to fix it when it’s so overgrown with the Kudzu GOP - the roots go very, very deep.
Gerson can clutch his pearls all he wants. But it was he and his employers who lost touch with the grassroots. It is no longer Conservatives vs. Liberals, nor Democrats vs. Republicans. It is the Country Class vs. the Elites (in both Parties). These same grassroots voters from all sides of the political spectrum, will change the GOP forever.
