A popular Southern GOP governor was asked earlier this week how the candidates were going to fare in his home state on Super Tuesday.
“Trump is going to win by 10 points,” the governor said, “and I don’t know a single person who is voting for him.”

GOPe . . . Blind led by the lost!

My impression is that a number of people who claim GOP status and have elected positions....probably are more actors than actual politicians. They have some remarkable ‘talking-dog’ capability, and have memorized all the 3x5 cards from the lobbyists who fund them. But they seem to be mostly fakes.

“Trump is going to win by 10 points,” the governor said, “and I don’t know a single person who is voting for him.” He's admitting how disconnected the GOP establishment is from the people they allegedly represent.

I was hoping for a clean sweep last night but I suppose I shouldn't get greedy. As of this morning, Trump has earned more delegates than everyone else combined.

“Trump is going to win by 10 points,” the governor said, “and I don’t know a single person who is voting for him.”Spoken like a true elitist. Sounds like a popular refrain members of the media used to employ after Richard Nixon's landslide victory in 1972.
I don't click on WaPoo links. Just tell me if Scarborough identifies this "popular" Southern Governor.

Just under as much as the others combined. Looks to be around 317 of 660 delegates assigned so far.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I think that the American people should march on DC to protest the political establishment, and that everyone should LITERALLY bring pitchforks and tiki torches. Imagine a hundred thousand people or more with pitchforks and tiki torches at the Mall. That would make a serious statement.

Trump should get on the ballots as an Independent. These guys will never let the people’s voices be heard. They want to force people into a false choice in November so they can keep power. *Spit*
To: saywhatagain
Gee....maybe it’s because the rank and file have (finally) gotten wise to the GOPe’s bait and switch?

You beat me to it. Getting rid of Trump won't end things. We're taking over the party or leaving.
To: saywhatagain
It’s not that Trump has taken over the party; it’s that the party has been left out by curb and Trump saw it and said, “Hm. I can make something out of that.”
