“I will not vote for any establishment Republican.”
If the establishment GOP doesn’t come around before then, 2016 will be its last hurrah—they go the way of the Whigs.
And you don’t have to be a history major to recall what happened not long after the Whigs were replaced by the GOP. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
But no more `JEBs’, no more Christies or Bloombergs, and no more McCains, Boehners, McConnells, Grahams or Romneys.
There are things that gnaw at a man worse than being under the heel of his enemies, and that’s suffering because of betrayal by his `friends.’

Amen to that! I really do believe we’re witnessing the beginning of the end of the GOP as we know it. They’re so consumed with demographics and trying to attract hardcore Democrat voting blocs (very unsuccessfully, I might add) that in the process they’re completely alienating and angering the largest segment of their base — conservatives. The GOP cannot possibly win ANY general national or state elections without its traditional conservative base and therein lies the party’s impending demise.
