I have always voted Republican and always because they're not quite as bad as the Democrats.

Ah yes.....Republicans are the “good cops”.

Inbred as well. Instead of the Romanov dynasty we have the Bush dynasty. Hopefully the Clinton dynasty will be redirected into other venues, like used-auto sales, as a result of Trumpification. Your vote counts.

I’d gladly vote for a Republican - if I could ever find one.

I have not heard Trump talk about how he is going to “end” the GOP elite.
Not sure how he can.
I hope Trump really does understand what he is getting into, and what to do about it.

After the GOPe is crushed in November, I hope the Hillary Clinton DOJ sets its sights on whatever corrupt GOPe’ers still remain.

Hard to get enthusiastically behind Dole, McCain, Mitt, Jeb, etc knowing the reason i voted for each was because they just weren’t quite as bad as the other guy.
Hope EVERY go along get along politician is quaking in their boots after ignoring the last two big elections and rubber stamping Obamma’s agenda.

It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again.
"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."
"But that's terrible," said Arthur.
"Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.

NWO Bush I killed the Republican Party when he supported NAFTA and turned the reins over to Wall Street and the International Corporate cabal. It was the beginning Cheap Labor Express and the replacement of the USA’s middle class.

Trump isn’t going to ‘end’ them. WE! WE! will end them. We will do this because they’ve shown us over and over and over again they are, in fact, worse enemies to us than Democrats. Lying liar, backstabber, featherbedding politicians only interested in themselves and their feathered bed. WE will end them. Trump is along for the ride on that point.

Honey, who left the door to the looney bin open?Ringer equates the GOPe with the Republican party. Which considering the party insiders reaction to the Goldwater, Reagan and Trump campaigns is not without factual basis.
The only times conservatives have got anything out of the GOP is after a long, bitter struggle, and even then it's been a temporary reprieve from business as usual.

Trump is “ending” the GOPe by existing and winning.
He has changed the game by bringing up most of the policies that large majorities of the voters want, but were “off the table” by political correctness, media agenda, and elite social engineering.
The ability to support those policies mean that candidates that support them will now have a chance at federal power.
Voters could already elect them to state office; fairly often as federal members of the House; occasionally as members of the Senate; only once since FDR as president (Reagan).
Now the state level officials will have decent shots at the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
And, they may be able to keep from being corrupted once they get there.
We will see.
Policies that were “off the table”:
Stopping illegal immigration and deportation of existing illegals.
Supporting the Second Amendment in reality instead of merely lip service
Ensuring that so-called “free trade” is not a one-way street that gives enormous advantages to our competitors
Unabashedly putting American interests first
Getting the budget actually under control instead of simply continuing to pile up debt
Removing the insane power of the EPA and the department of Education
Actively fighting the media, instead of accepting their agenda and their information flow.
Of course, a restoration of American military power never was “off the table”, but it is vitally important to the country, and brings a fair number of the GOPe to his side.

Hope so. It will not be missed.

Carroll Quigley quotes (showing 1-19 of 19) The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies. ― Carroll Quigley Google Charles Quigley for the other 18 quotes...

The Republican Party appears to be thrashing about like a wild beast in the final stages of its death throes.With Donald Trump as the nominee, deals will be cut, and the status quo will be maintained. With Ted Cruz as the nominee, Reince Priebus will be looking for another job.
