At what point will the GOPe go from “we’re gonna fight this movement all the way” to “Oh crap, they all got pitchforks”
Good...now we can get down to “We, the Peoples” business instead of we, the politicians.
Well they are cowards, they are closet liberals, they do not care about or understand the principles they mouth.
I’d say good riddance.
And not that anyone cares, but I spent about 17 years on here saying you have to vote for the republican. When they betrayed America for illegal immigration, that was the final straw.
If they do a third party run, it may be an educational experience for them because I strongly suspect they will fare worse than the Libertarians at the polls, a LOT worse!
It may be the first time we have witnessed the trash taking ITSELF out!
Whether Trump or Cruz come out on top, the GOPe is done.
‘Bout damned time!
It already ended
when the Speaker of The House today jumped on Trump about “not disavowing the KKK”, that fishy democrat planted story, I knew the GOP was corrupt at every every level
FOX News,Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin... all compromised
We have to start again somewhere
Yes, this is a once in a century political realignment of a political party.
There will of course be many overlaps with the old Republican party, but there will be some clear differences that will dramatically shift the electoral map.
Whatever is going on, to worship and venerate a single person as the solution is not the solution.
Reagan was good but not the solution. He always spoke of the American people with veneration, not himself.
Newt Gingrich sounded like a good fellow, but he was only one guy human and imperfect.
Rush Limbaugh is an intelligent guy and a good analyst. We all laughed when he entered the picture. But he is just one guy, too, flawed perhaps by his family’s lifelong allegiance and devotion to the GOP as a political institution.
Trump or Cruz, why fight. Neither one of these guys is perfect.
I think much of the fight ginned up in the media and here on FR since Christmas was deliberate to help Rubio come out smelling like a rose.
Rubio and the GOPe are wrong, that we know for sure.
How will people vote ‘down ticket’ tonight? Will incumbent GOP congressman like Bradley Byrne in AL-1 and Kevin Brady in TX-8 lose? If we keep electing people like them, things aren’t changing.
Good rant. Speaking of $200 (Monopoly)
Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents

I have nothing to add to that, except my voice.
Let’s roll!!!
“Will Tonight mark the end of the Republican Party, or the Republican Party as we know it?”
No, 2001 ended the Republican Party as we knew it. That was when the party stopped be careful about using the military and ESPECIALLY when President Bush OPENED THE SOUTHERN BORDER to all who wanted to come in.
Had those two things not happened, Trump would have been LAUGHED OFF STAGE a week after announcing.
What will happen after tonight is that the Republican Party will be REBORN, and will REPRESENT ITS VOTERS.
That may mean a lot of GOP Operatives need to find new jobs, but it is the PRICE THEY MUST PAY for their ABSOLUTE ARROGANCE in lying to and ignoring their voters.
...but my wife does work in placement, and can help them with their resume’s, assuming they pay her price.
The end of the republican party was when they allowed Obama to Usurp the presidency in 2008.
The GOPe created this sh!t storm and they have the nerve to blame the voters that they abandoned.
The GOP died when they won massive victories in 2010 to counter Obama.
They did not counter Obama.
2014 just kicked some more dirt over their rotten corpse. Obama has gotten more done under McConnel Boehner than Reid Pelosi.
I’m with you.
I’m not clear that smashing the Republicans and replacing it with a Trumpster party will wind up with a party that is for any of the ‘pro’ things you are for.
Aside from his newly adopted populist stances, Trump is a pretty scary liberal with a nasty attitude. He reminds me of a very rich George Wallace.
A Trump candidacy will truly be Republican in name only, perhaps we can call it RINO2.
Fox news still has karl rove on with his idiot predictions
