If Republicans are going to have any hope of stopping the runaway train otherwise known as Donald Trump, it may rest on their ability to limit the breadth of his appeal. A single alternative to Trump — most likely Marco Rubio — could conceivably coalesce enough support among well educated, relatively affluent, more moderate Republicans

But not among the well educated, relatively affluent rank-and-file LESS moderate Republicans who are REALLY, REALLY p!ssedoff at the GOPe sellout of our country in favor of keeping the gravy train rolling for themselves,what with all of those D.C. shrimp cocktail and caviar soirées, free jet trips around the world, free five-start hotel living, free five-star restaurant dining, and all the major sporting event skyboxes they choose to occupy, all at taxpayer and lobbyist expense.
And it's not JUST conservatives, and it's not JUST Republicans: there's a GROUNDSWELL of p!ssedoffness that radiates far beyond just those traditional groups.
Trump sure scares the Compost.
It’s France in the late 1700’s all over again.
If it terrified the GOPe than Trump is doing it right.
After the petty and embarrassing attacks by Rubio which made me cringe, I’ll never vote for him under any circumstances.
“It’s France in the late 1700’s all over again.”
Only with metaphorical head choppers instead of real ones.
“Trump sure scares the Compost.”
Trump scares ALL the powers that be!
I feel the same about trump, each his own this election it seems
Shouldn’t his numbers terrify democrats?
It is interesting to note that the Left considers the French Revolution to be a good thing but both Left and Right consider the Conservative Revolution a bad thing.
Seven years of Obama have left us with a toxic political environment. It is important to remember that, and to try and be patient with one another over the next 48 hours.
That’s how it starts.
What’s interesting is, they listened to a rabid populist named Robspierre generated a mass movement to kill the monarchy to establish a “Republic” under a man which led to the dictatorship of Napoleon.
In America 2016 we have a rabid populist generating a mass movement to kill the oligarchy and establish a monarchy under a man which will further a permanent dictatorship in the Executive.
Thanks for the link.
They're terrified that Trump can conceivably beat Hillary and are demanding that Republicans do something about this.
The more they stamp their feet and threaten to hold their breath, etc. the more you question, what is it about Trump that has them so fearful?
It’s more than what’s on the surface. It is not something that the public is even aware of. It has got to be much deeper than that...earth shattering in fact.
We have got to start digging deeper into their fear.
100 pct fight no arguing,
Climate change did the rulers in, too...lol, it was extreme cold that interrupted the growing seasons.
