Nigel Farage.
What did John Bolton do to eliminate the UN? Nothing. He supported the UN. I was disappointed. The UN needs to leave New York for Europe somewhere and we get out of it. It’s a waste of money. We basically pay the bill for the UN and all they do is bash us. Who needs that?
lol. Thanks. She’s 94. I haven’t asked her yet. She might be too busy as well.
There was a very good article you might enjoy by Daniel Henninger is this morning’s WSJ, entitled “Obama’s Greatest Triumph.” It says, essentially, that Obama killed politics in DC by simply ignoring even his own party and the legislature and doing whatever he wanted to do. The Dems kept their heads down - since many of the things he did were things with which they would agree anyway - but were essentially disempowered by his toxic presidency. (That’s one of the reasons they had literally no candidates lined up except for two last-generation losers, sanders and Clinton.)
The GOP, on the other hand, didn’t know how to respond, because this went way beyond parties and was almost a structural assault. They split into factions, which is one of the reasons we had a number of good young candidates - but so many of them, and each trying to distinguish his faction, that they shot each other down and we ended up with one potential candidate who is not even a Republican (as Henninger points out, when Trump is coherent enough to determine what he is saying, you can see that rejects all of the principles of the GOP and Reaganism, such as small government, free market, etc.) and one who, while having some conservative principles, is simply incapable of gaining support for them or even expressing them in any way that would attract support.
I hope we have a contested convention and get another chance to pick a candidate. I still think Scott Walker would be good, but some of the others, who were personally destroyed by Trump’s media onslaught, might be able to finally gain a hearing for their ideas and not whether their face was crooked or there was something else Trump didn’t like about their physical appearance.
Is Gary Johnson the Libertarian candidate again? If not, who is?
It is really trump or nothing.
Cruz has crossed the rubicon into the GOPe kookaide
___________________________________________
I agree, but Cruz still has the potential of pissing off the GOPe. ;)
If not Trump I stay home the test are scum, most of all Ted sCruz America with his Bushbot following.
2020 is extremely important to republicans. We HAVE to win that election for redistricting. That is going to be a mess due to democrats hating gerrymandering even though they use it themselves. That will be the most important election of our lifetime! It will be a major fight.
It is the stay at homers that gave us Obama
at that point it is GOPe or DNCe, there is no greater throw away vote.
ANY voting for a McCain,dole,romney,CRUZE,clinton,sanders is the same and meaningless.
Mr. AK-47
Well, you won’t have to worry about it. Cruz will get the nomination and you can sit home and trim your toenails.
You got Bubba’s attention!
If trump needs 100 delegates which I think is worse case scenario, isn’t it possible between June 8th and the convention, he couldn’t find 100 delegates across the country to vote for him? Cruz will need 600 to find in that time. I still think trump MIGHT be able to pull it off. At this point Rubio might be the choice for VP....I hate saying that but I think he could learn a lot from trump and say what you want, Rubio is very knowledgable on foreign policy. Thoughts?
No way. If she had Bernie sanders type enthusiasm then yes. This election will be very close and come down to Virginia. Whoever wins Virginia wins!
I would not support anybody that gets the nomination in that disgusting manner.
Love that she is making a full life at 94. God bless her and your entire family.
I did just this in 2008 and 2012 -- could not make myself vote for McCain or Romney -- but at least their nominations were fair. If GOPe succeeds with undermining the process this time, sitting out is no longer good enough for me.
I hate this question. No GOPe for me!
