Like in a law suit?
Bring it on. More attention and publicity even if the RNC does win. We the people with Gofundme can support the defendants
Do you know how to get this to Trump??? I am not a techy somebody NEEDS to get this video to Trump!!!!
Tweet it to the election committee
You are correct. I was once a member of the Louisiana GOP State Central Committee, and had a vote in the selection of our state chairman and the two national committee members.
I ran for the office in a partisan election and won. We battled the Country Club Republicans at every meeting. That battle is still ongoing.
This is why it behooves people to elect conservatives to the local political offices.
It matters.
Very revealing. Many people find identity, purpose and meaning from group affiliations. Very soon, “the group” becomes more important then the reason the group was created.
That is why group members are rarely ostracized or expelled. Its us against them and they are always wrong and we are always right.
The GOPe is a bureaucracy, a fraternity. It is insular exclusive self preserving. It has two faces. One face is for public consumption. “We are the party of small government, blah,blah, blah.” The other face is only shown in private and looks like cronyism, nepotism and business as usual, where the party and its members profit and advance due to special access.
Donald Trump is a bold blustery party crasher. I applaud his courage and boldness. I trust him to do what is right for America, not the republican party.
And it matters that we stay IN the party and get involved. Thank you for your efforts Have you considered posting a vanity of encouragement?
You could just put the link in a tweet and address it using @realdonaldtrump (I think thats the correct name) and it will be one of the thousands of tweets addressed to him each day.
Who reads all those? I dont know. But if many of us do it, it should get through.
Go to his site. Scroll all the way to the very bottom. There is a contact us link.
They are very responsive. I have been using it.
The dirty secret is that it wouldn’t take a whole lot of effort to remake the party from within. Precinct/county meetings rarely have more than a handful of regular activists who show up and by default control the organization.
If every FReeper who bellyaches about the party got active and showed up at a meeting once or twice a week, it would change everything in an instant.
But they can’t be bothered. They would have to get up from their keyboards, take off their pajamas, get dressed, and actually DO something.
/sarc Besides, the NFL playoffs are on TV now, and that is MUCH more important, doncha know. /sarc
It’s his party and he’ll cry whether he wants to or not when Trump wins the nomination.
Do you have a reverse camera so you can see me? Lol
It is so true. Our local group is now in the hands of the kids 40ish. They are doing a great job! And, are more antiestablishment than those they’ve replaced. They have lots of activities and lots of fun I support their efforts but in no way can keep up with them.
It proves that the GOP (e) live in their own world and have no idea of what WE THE PEOPLE want or care about.
It’s obviously their club or the highway - throw out all the bums!
Well I’ll be - that certainly took no time to hatch. Out pops the chick not completed formed, but still there after all. These ‘folks’ are upset because they feel it is ‘their party’? That old Lesley Gore song is repeated over and over in the back of the mind “It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to”. What a pleasure it would be to see these devious bast*rds weep Boehner size tears.
This certainly does give understanding to the audience debate night antics.
You can have ‘em; I don’t want ‘em They continue down the crooked road and their crooked, aged, decrepited, spiny, fragile legs.
I usually refer to the "blue haired ladies" instead of the country club Republicans (having a couple of those blue haired old ladies in the family), but I agree.
Communities vary, but in many places the dynamic is as follows. The party regulars have been working precinct and county Republican politics since approximately forever. They get proprietary about it, and with some reason. They are the ones who organize the Lincoln Day Dinners and the county fair fish fry, walk the precincts for down ballot candidates in races no one cares about except the candidate and the blue hairs, show up to clean up the mess at headquarters the morning after we take a shellacking ... and who have been doing this for 20, 30 or more years. They're not in it for the glory or the money, because there isn't any at that level.
AND, they know (or have at least met) everybody in state politics because they haven't missed a county event in all that time. Local organizational politics is their thing, provides much of their social network, and elevates their place in the community.
Then an insurgent faction shows up, passionate about an issue and often full of people who have never done a lick of work, and accuses them of being out of step and out of touch. This may in fact be correct. But personal diplomacy here is important in bringing the regulars along, and this needs to be done at the local level. Insurgent campaigns, however, tend to be issue or personality driven, opportunistic in nature, and full of newcomers. Of course there are hard feelings when insurgents attempt what amounts to a hostile takeover.
A political party is not a social club. It exists to elect people to public office and it will ultimately be defined by its candidates. But a national party is also a large ongoing enterprise, and people who have paid serious dues over many years should not be turned into the enemy.
Republican Brand: We surrender before we are asked.
Pray America wakes
This video shows why the tens of millions of Trump supporters like him. Trump talks to people like he’s in their living room. Others lecture and talk *at* people in a patronizing way.

Thanks for the ping.
He said, “It’s OUR party, the peoples party”.
So what are the citizens, who are the real “people”, supposed to do?
Sorry if double pinged but this is a must see.
Reason enough to vote for Trump even if you didn’t like hi.
This makes me more determined than ever to see Donald J Trump as our next president.
Thanks, my dear, this is truly disgusting and agree, w/you completely.
