Praying that the Republican Party doesn’t live up to it’s nickname.....the Stupid Party.

With you on this - A Hillary win does mean, short of a bloody civil was/revoution, there will only be one party for a very long time.

Agree. It is why the sovereign people must reassert themselves and restore free government.

we will likely survive 8 years of President Obama

Yes but internal and external damage will take decades to correct and counter.

Forty years later, and we are still dealing with repercussions from the 1-term Carter administration and its policies.

The infiltration of 'outsiders' into high government positions will not be easy to amend.

Found the problem right there. National Review and Weekly Standard are post-American.

They do not recognize the idea of an American nation or an American people. They only recognize the notion of an American proposition, which they define as promoting globalist economic progress administered by a transnational managerial class and the use of the American armed forces to remake the world in a fashion in accord with their ideology.

America has no more meaning to them than a geographic designation. If American white working class communities cannot compete with dollar-a-day labor in China, then they deserve to die, in their view.

Global governance to ensure a uniform market is the logical end result of their ideology. That's why they are always pushing one trade agreement after another. In other words, a global EU on steroids.

I received a private message in response to this posting essentially pointing out that, while I complained about being kicked off of National Review, many long-time FReepers were kicked off this site, due to their criticisms of Trump. And while that is true, there are some MAJOR differences between what happened here and what is going on at National Review and other so-called Republican sites.

On this site, JR stayed clear of the Primary process until Trump had enough pledged delegates to win on the first ballot - and it got very heated here. Now, technically Trump wasn’t the nominee until last Tuesday - so why did JR cut off the debate at that much-earlier point?

Forgive me JR if I’m not reading you right, but I believe that you understood that once Trump had his majority of delegates, there was NO WAY that his voters, who wound up totaling 14 Million Republicans, were going to vote for any other candidate on the Republican ticket. It didn’t matter how it was done - a rule change (whether allowed or not), delegates walking out to deprive Trump of the nomination, throwing chairs at Trump and sending him to the hospital. It didn’t matter, the MOMENT that Trump was denied his spot on the ticket, the vast majority of those 14 Million votes were lost to the Republican Party, including Trump, and everyone down-ballot.

So the NeverTrumpers, back when Trump got his majority, were simply running a back-door campaign for Hillary - whether intended or not - and this is NOT THE SITE to be doing that on.

At that point our side will simply have NO RECOURSE to stop Hillary.

I beg to differ. The second amendment solution will still be there.
