I’m a little beyond fed up with all this “Sit down, shut up, and vote for who we tell you to” BS from the GOPe.

In 1976, they tried to tell us to sit down, shut up and vote for Gerry Ford. Instead, we got Jimmy Carter.

In 1980, they tried stealing the nomination from Ronald Wilson Reagan. Thankfully they failed.

In 1984, Ronald Wilson Reagan was so wildly popular, he swept 49 of 50 states to win re-election. Drove the GOP-E batshit crazy.

In 1988, they told us to sit down, shut up and vote for George Herbert Walker Bush. So we got a GOP-E "out of touch" President.

In 1992, they again told us to sit down, shut up, and vote for George Herbert Walker Bush. We got Bill Clinton.

In 1996, they told us to sit down, shut up and vote for Bob Dole because hey, it was "his turn." We again got Bill Clinton.

In 2000 they told us to sit down, shut up and vote for George W. Bush. We got a faux "Conservative" who turned out to be one of the biggest fiscal liberals since Lyndon Baines Johnson.

In 2004 they again told us to sit down, shut up and vote for George W. Bush. We *again* got a faux "Conservative" who couldn't win a war in Iraq or Afghanistan, and continued to blow holes in the budget and deficit.

In 2008 they told us to sit down, shut up and vote for John McCain because it was "his turn" and oh, he was a war hero to boot. Instead, we got 0bama.

In 2012 they told us to sit down, shut up and vote for Mitt Romney because it was "his turn" after being a good GOP-E soldier in 2012. In an election he should've won, Romney failed to "go for the kill" during the final debate with 0bama and blew the election, losing in a massacre.

In 2016, it's time for the GOP-E to sit down, SHUT THE HELL UP and vote for Donald Trump!!

Too many folks living in the ‘waffle’ house. Can’t disrupt the status quo. They’ll hem and haw and eventually go with party #1 or party #2.

You’re making the assumption that only someone who has run a campaign is in play for the nomination after the first ballot. That’s not true, the RNC/GOPe controls the convention and the nominating process. They can make up whatever rules they want. Hell, if they want to choose the nominee by having everyone get up on stage and spit for distance to choose the nominee, they can do that.

And this is exactly what Romney said when he “endorsed” Cruz—they want a contested convention so that they can get the GOPe candidate of their choice.

“who learned Nixon’s lesson of always attacking from the right.”

Attacking from the right is always the right thing to do.

BTW, Nixon wasn’t a bad president or a bad man. He was wrongfully hounded from office by leftard pigdogs like the Hildebeest.

But he wrote this: "As the text of the resolution provides a succinct and forceful summary of the reasons why Donald Trump is acceptable as a Republican candidate for president, I thought I would share it with the readers of American Thinker."

The opposite of this would mean that what our pResident is doing is acceptable.

“I personally have not seen the resolution, but this election cycle, the party (COGOP) has been working hard to shut out the grass roots”

I don’t know about Denver, but over here the proverbial man from Mars wouldn’t even know that there *was* a CO GOP.

Yeah, well there is that too. The party has turned into a country club for those in power. Seems like they want to keep it that way. No outreach to speak of, no plan to grow the party, no firebrand to push the conservative message. Lots of go along to get along.

“Cruz will win.”

No way in Hell the eGOP will allow the man they hate to
win. If they pull this stunt then they have the opportunity
to elect who they want. They will go with Bush or Kasich.


Great idea! Just what we need: Eight more years with a
couple of bungling incompetents continuing to destroy
America ala Obozo! I just can't wait!!!! < /sarc >

Domestic Operations?

The CIA should not have ANY funding for domestic operations, unless it’s to maintain their headquarters at Langeley, Virginia.

Aren’t there rules that would de-delegate him? Boot him out?
This is ridiculous, nutcases like him should not represent us at the convention

If that happens, then Cruz will lose the the election.

If the GOPe is going to VOID THE VOTES because they don’t like the results, then I know many people that will never vote Republican again for anyone period.

Cruz is a Globalist and does not have the Cross over appear Trump does.

Cruz is hated by his fellow Senators because he is 1st term Senator only using the Senate to leap to the White House.

Nevertheless, if the GOPe Rats do this, then they just elected Hillary.

There is NO WAY Cruz will in New York, Pennsylvania or California.

Cruz lost the South East to Trump too. There’s no way Cruz can win it.

Don’t tell me, go tell your government. The PATRIOT Act changed the domestic laws.

What if the conservatives delegates vote Cruz in, will you still call them the GOPe?
