“Mark Levin calls Sasse a RINO fraud:”

I’m sure they’ll kiss and make up soon enough to get Sasse on the show this week.

It’s a time for choosing, and they both chose unwisely.

Well! Here you are again posting more hate Trump stuff.

The only thing I can imagine is that you are either being paid by the GOPe organization by some means or you need some special help by professionals to treat your absolute hate for Trump.

Actually, I can envision you pouring through papers, magazines, listening to liberal TV stations, and a whole host of “hate Trump” spew that makes your life complete.

Or..........you are a paid “shill” for the Republican party.

You hatred and venomous spew is not normal for a sane person.

LOL. And 80% aren’t supporting Mr. Bubble or Teddy, either.

So when is Teddy going to start pitching to the Sanders voter?

I don’t know if you get the problem. All these people are supposedly against abortion and yet easily confirmed to radical judges. They are all against gay marriage: it has become the law of the land. They all want to repeal and replace Obamacare but it is still the law of the land. They all want to secure the border but it remains insecure. They are all against the deal with Iran and yet it has been ratified. I can go on and on. There are years worth of examples how their rhetoric does not match their results. Either they aren’t really against and for the things they say or they are just incredibly bad at their jobs. Neither option suggest that these people should be promoted to the highest office in the land.

No, actually....this ^^^ more aptly describes venomous spew.

Beck is putting on the pounds so that Cruz can ride him like the fat guy on Deliverance.

And this ^^^. Almost leftie-like in its vulgarity, in fact.

Senator Jeff Sessions would likely disagree. He did endorse Trump in front of 30,000+ people. I’m inclined to think a conservative lion like Session is right & this myriad of authors you bring to these forums almost daily crying out for voters to disavow Trump are spitting into a tornado.

Go Trump!!!

This Sissy guy better HOPE TO HELL that Trump loses. He may not have signed the pledge, but he’s more than close enough to those that did. One can only imagine how Trump will deal with him.

(and no, NSA, I have no clue - pure speculation)

Mark Steyn:

......"~One policy note: Trump has now pledged to strengthen the libel laws to favor the plaintiff in suits against the media. So [Trump's] Tweet siding with Michael E Mann against me does not appear to be an accidental aberration. Thus in November America seems likely to have a choice between two candidates who want to rein in the First Amendment: I didn't see that one coming, although,what with his years of delaying tactics and general obstructionism, evidently Mann did. Judging from responses to Senator Ben Sasse's Twitter feed, principled supporters of free speech are somewhat thin on the ground.

~Ultimately, Trump's hostile takeover of the Republican Party has only been possible because of the rigid inflexibility of America's party system. The two-party one-party state, unchanged in 150 years, is unique in the western world, where parties are born and die according to whether there's a market for them. If a genuine market in parties were possible here, this season there would be probably be a nationalist party, a conservative party, and a soft-right party - and, over on the other side, a corporatist party and a socialist party. In the British House of Commons, there are currently 11 parties represented, plus four independents. In the Canadian House of Commons, there are five parties. In New Zealand, seven. When The Washington Post's Michael Gerson warns that a Trump nomination would break apart the Republican Party, the implication is that the health of the Republic depends on maintaining the same two parties of the Civil War era for all eternity. Why?"

Thousands upon thousands of Conservatives are not voting Trump (for their own reasons). The following link to a hashtag [#NeverTrump] on Twitter has been going strong since last Friday evening.

Just what have these so-called “movement conservatives” ever conserved? All they do is flap their yaps, write long diatribes about this or that, and go to cocktail parties where they clink their glasses with their democrat “rivals.” They haven’t managed to stem the tide of the 3rd World invasion, matter of fact, most of these so-called “movement conservatives” support that invasion. Have they managed to turn back any of the social issues that they say they are so adamantly opposed to?

So, this a$$hat, can shove it.

My response: Senator Sasse, if you do one thing to support Hillary Clinton (either actively or passively), then you ARE what’s wrong with this government.

"Falling on deaf ears."

Indeed! It appears the stupid party is determined to show the world just how stupid we can be, by nominating a thin skinned blowhard who appeals the worse angels of our nature.

One of the few good thing that could come from a Jesse Ventura Donald Trump win in Nov. is we can spend 4 years asking the question of the T-Bots...What Were You Thinking?

I don’t think Rubio or Bush is getting the nomination.

I liked the letter, and it makes several good points that should be addressed... and not one substantive response from the first fifty pro-Trump retorts here. Amazing.

Good for you Ben. I can think for myself thank you.

From the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS:

A Trump presidency threatens the post-World War II liberal international order that American presidents of both parties have so laboriously built up — an order based on free trade and alliances with other democracies.

=== === === === === ***

Proves what we’ve been saying. It is a Uniparty designed to usher in Unigovernment.
