Ya’ll. Pray that Hillary does not snatch the Presidency.
Pray that the Lord gives us the help that we need from the
Republican conservative candidate & saves us from the
destruction that this country probably richly deserves.
MARANATHA!

Am I to assume you think Kasich is electable?
Sure, I’ll vote for him if he squirms his way on the ballot
some how but you have to take into consideration that there
are going to be more people like you who won’t vote if they
can’t have their way if he’s on the ballot as opposed to
Cruz or Trump.

Personally I think he’s in it just to screw Trump and Cruz over. Faced with the fact that the people didn’t, can’t and
wont choose him he has no problem with being shoved down
the peoples throat at a brokered convention. His view is that of Obama and the rest of the liberals, we jsut don’t
know whats good for us and they need to make the choice for
us.

I am not arguing that, but the question is, are those that are willing to burn it all down the majority or the minority, and the reality is, by definition they are the minority... They may represent the majority opinion of those in control, but they are the minority of the party over all.... So, will the party as a whole allow this minority to burn it down?

I suspect enough will not let this happen once the passions have calmed.

We shall see.. remember, its not the donors who are going to do the voting, its the delegates, and while no doubt some of them will be willing to burn it down, will enough of them? I don’t think so.... Time will tell.

The alternative if the Republicans burn it down, is that they literally become irrellevant as a national party, and a new party pops up and that’s an even bigger threat to the Uniparty.. because if the Republicans go the way of the Whigs, the new party will take time to become corrupted by the existing players.

We shall see.... personally I just don’t think when all is said and done, they’ll burn in to the ground.

Clinton would kill him in the election.

He would be the typical nice guy RINO while Clinton would be going for the jugular.

It's often helpful to apply names to abstract concepts such as "donors". So, let's consider the long-term plans of the Bush, Koch, Romney, et al families.

For one, they think in terms of multi-generations. So, in that regard, Fitzgerald was right when he said they are different from you & me. As certainly does the sun come up in the east, a yet-to-be-born Bush has a slot @ Harvard and/or Yale.

Second, their life-blood is government contacts, favors & influence. Their entire portfolio is dependent on continuation of existing foreign & domestic policy. That is, continual war, illegal immigration, taxation/regulation and the reduction of the middle-class to vassals & serfs.

OK, once we have these basic parameters established, then we can take a look at secondary considerations in terms of actual mechanics. Political parties are one such device to further & advance their personal agendas of power, wealth & control.

To that extent, the GOP is simply a tool, one that can be discarded if it no longer proves useful to achieve those ends. There is nothing whatsoever to prevent any of these groups switching parties and become democrats if it helps meet their objectives.

Actual political philosophy is left for "losers"; people who believe they have some kind of representation or say in the governance of the country.

No Kadich is not electable. Nothing I have posted would suggest that

That is why we need Trump.

He'd be bitch Hillary slapping Hillary all over the place.
