Maybe someone should explain to the rhinos that if they just did the things that they promised that they would do during their campaigns, the republican base wouldn't be looking for a fighter.

And the GOP reboots it’s circular firing squad for this election’s blame game.

Republicans point fingers: Who let Trump get this far?

The way the liberals and Rinos see it, the most significant problem facing America today is that the people are actually allowed to vote for whomever they choose.

I can at least answer this question. There are several factors:

1) They money people sold out to cheap labor (i.e., Illegals). That really started rolling under Bush-43 when they came here by the millions. Now the money people cannot imagine life without them, nor will they fund anyone that is serious about putting an end to it.

2) Given the above, they assumed that they could control who runs for office, and that the base would have no choice but to support that person. It was not an unreasonable assumption, given that the Dems are now so far left-wing (the most under reported story in the history of politics are what the Dems would do to conservatives if they achieve absolute power - it would make Hitler blush). What they failed to learn is that you don’t win the White House by scaring people, at least not Republican candidates - never worked yet.

3) They TOTALLY DISCREDITED the concerns of their voters. They assumed that ‘talk radio’ was the ONLY REASON that they got the phone calls that they did. So when an Amnesty bill came up and the phones were ringing off the hook in the office, a typical conversation would go like this:

CUTE OFFICE MANAGER - “The phone calls are 1500 to 3, against the Gang of 8 Bill.”

TYPICAL BOUGHT-OUT REPUBLICAN: “Good, that means 698,500 other people in the district support the Gang of 8 Bill, which is a ratio of 400 to 1 in favor. Therefore I’m voting for it. Those 1500 were just doing what talk radio told them to do.”


It also didn’t help to load up their advisers, staffs, and pollsters with a far disproportionate number of gay men. It’s not too much to simply ask people a couple of personal life questions, or at least check social media before instantly hiring them.

To bad we don’t have Theodore White to write “Making of the President 2017.”

The media and that clown circus you put up.

If Trump and Hillary are the best the powers can field in a country to 350,000,000, we are so screwed.

The dominoes started falling with Thad Cochrane's primary "victory." Those who are steeped in military history would call it a Pyhrric victory for the GOP establishment.

While GOPe types like Mitch McConnell were patting themselves on the back, Main Street started assembling the ingredients for a major dollop of whoop ass.

Over 60% of the polling to date has gone to candidates not supported by GOPe.

Try looking in the mirror you gutless, spineless,no good RINO wimps. Who gave us Trump? Why all of you did—but you will never admit it.

This Politico article exposes GOPe groupthink, which persists in misreading its own party’s Conservative base. Focusing solely on who is to blame for failing to oppose Trump, the Republican establishment still offers no active opposition to destructive Democrat policies. Had these pompous windbags spent even half this energy fighting Obama for the past seven years, there would be no political vacuum for Donald Trump to fill. The popularity of Trump and his acerbic manner is a long-delayed reaction to Republican cowardice and complicity.

"Love watching the GOPe go bananas!"

Love watching Politico go bananas! An assemblage of banal, trite, lazy DC hacks; a circle-jerk of the dumbest monkeys in the National Zoo, complete with old tire swingset Peter Principle playground that the dumbest of them instinctively know to stay with Politico rather than accept career advances elsewhere, because they don't have to work hard, or much at all.

I think we give people too much credit for strategizing. Maybe it’s just a matter of personality vs personality and that’s all it’s ever been.

Back before Trump even threw his hat in the ring I was telling everyone who would listen that the establishment had no chance of foisting their choice on the GOP this election cycle.

I even picked Cruz as the man to watch. Nobody could have foreseen Trump in those days.

They’re deluded in thinking they still have control of this process.
