Do these idiots really think there is going to be ticket splitting in November
Maybe Humphrey wasn't ever really a conservative. At this point he was a Kasich supporter, and now says he might vote for Hillary.
Sounds like he has made a full circle from liberal to conservative to idiotic leftist fool. That can happen if you have no actual solid core of values.
Well, no jobs for them in the Trump administration.
It is not that simple. We have seen that some of the other Republican candidates will do anything they can to undercut and work against Trump. Like the people signing the letter we are discussing, or the politicians who reneged on their vow to endorse and support the party's candidate. There is no point in re-electing a bunch of people who will be working, like the Democrats, against President Trump, should his campaign succeed in November.
In some cases it is better to have your enemy be obvious, and from another party, than be saddled with enemies within your own party.
Apparently you do not understand how the congress works.
If you have a majority, you have the speaker of the house and the majprioty leader in the senate.
Each of whom have almost total power of what legislation is brought to the floor.
Lose the majority and the dims decide on the music.
The set the rules and they determine what legislation will come up for votes.
If everyone changes before the election, they’ll just claim that so many people are switching party affliation in protest of Trump.
I use dihydrogen dioxide to sanitize the dihydrogen monoxide in my swimming pool. Wouldn't want anyone getting sick if they were to get some of that awful dihydrogen monoxide stuff in their mouth.
Someone organized this. Probably Romney or Jeb or Mike Murphy.
I didn’t know Gordon Humphrey was a liberal in youth; he must have never been a committed conservative; Bob Smith replaced him, I believe.
There’s no way to “change” registration in TX: one has to wait to March 2018 and vote in the other party’s primary.
Right now I am sure you would agree that the Republicans have a majority in both the House and the Senate. But their actions in many cases are far from what the people that voted for them would like. Just a couple of examples - what have our Republican majorities done to restrain government spending? Have they even brought a budget to the floor to be voted on? How about real reform and a replacement for Obamacare? How about serious hearings into what is going on at the IRS, or the DOJ, or the State Department.
So having a majority doesn't do much good when that majority is made up of politicians who are really more intent on preserving their positions of power and personal interests than advancing the agenda of the voters that elected them.
di-hydrogen monoxide suffocation has caused more deaths than any other compound in nature.
“urging him to stop spending any money to help Donald Trump”
I wonder, once Trump is President, if their is some way to cut off these 70 “Republicans” money?
Some people even drink the stuff.
Priebus came out today and gave a rousing, enthusiastic speech and introduction to Donald Trump at Trump's Erie, PA rally. Priebus hadn't previously been scheduled, so it looks like he did it specifically to show support for the candidate and to shore up the party.
Those signers are a bunch of has-beens; think Karl Rove only a tenthof one percent as influential. The real story is how far down the media is willing to dig to try to discredit Trump.
I didn't remember him so I looked him up. Indeed, too much of a RINO to support Trump wholeheartedly, in spite of the things they have in common (both have the MBA; both had grandmothers born in Scotland; both are not classically conservative, etc). This election is really shaking out the differences between the labels of various individuals and realities.
