A Republican Party that currently exists purely for the sake of holding power will come to an end. Perhaps a good thing

My prediction as well if the corrupt GOPe is successful in creating chaos at the convention by not supporting the candidate with the most votes cast.

” So, if the Republican Party explodes, I might just hear it from under a palm tree! “

Maybe the smartest guy in the room.

Get along with the political powers in the GOP and you're OK. But operate autonomously and they will manipulate and rig things against you. I know firsthand, having chaired my state GOP convention decades ago. I saw the horror on the establishment's face when I didn't do what they expected.

I too can attest to the corruption of the leadership of the GOP establishment - totally corrupt and I really don't think Trump can Cruz can beat them back, we'll see.

Cruz is causing the chaos now. He is an Establishment tool and if he runs in the future he can count me out as a supporter.

"In six short months I've lost my father and, as an only child, have grappled with caring for my mom."

I was in the same place a couple of years ago and I can relate. My wife and I asked my mother to move in with us for what turned out to be the last three years of her life. It was deeply rewarding to be able to repay for the years she spend raising me and to be able to renew what had been a "long-distance" relationship for the 20 previous years. BUT, the last three months of her life when she was bed ridden was VERY stressfull. Very different than just visiting a dying parent in the hospital for an hour or two every other day. It hurts a lot but makes you feel good that you are there for her and she is surrounded by those who love her rather than in a hospital in her last days. My heart goes out to this author and I wish him all the best. My God bless him and his mother.

The guard is changing, in many ways.

“The Conservative Opportunity Society” faded away, as conservatives in gov got corrupted by the money and powe and political correctness.

It requires resurrection.

Trump has failed.

We the People have failed.

Hitlery will be coronated, and HELL will be ratcheted up to the next level in the USofA...

Psychopaths will go MAINSTREAM and ALL normal, healthy folk will be fleeced, abused and destroyed.

God help the Remnant.

To all you GOPe volunteers, operatives and deviants; I pray you repent before the end and manage to climb out of bed with the enemy.

My prediction is the GOPe will nominate Bob Dole and John McCain as the President/Vice Presidential candidates.

Imagine walking a wire 1000 feet high! Scary stuff. How is it the republicans repeatedly cower under the least criticism?

It is always coming from the DEMS. Always. Yet we yield, cut, and rum, over and over it seems.

Some play fair, some by any means necessary to achieve the wanted result!! MOO

For Shame!

"Have fun storming the castle!"

I can't speak for the rest of y'all, but I damn' sure do plan on having fun storming the castle! Complete with plenty of tar, rope and feathers --- in the spirit of the Founding Fathers.

See you in Cleveland!! :-)

********************************************

It’s actually a Republican Party that currently exists to block conservatives from power.

Their purpose is to prevent the citizens from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.

If the Cheap Labor Express gets their Designated Loser amnesty candidate it will be GOP-RIP.

How is that hijacking this thread? He basically repeated what the author wrote. Cruz is being a tool for the political establishment to deny Trump and coronate their chosen candidate who is not Cruz.

“Cruz ... is an Establishment tool ...”

Keep saying the lie enough, and someone’s bound to believe it.

So has GOPe Chris Christie endorsed his GOPe buddy Ted Cruz yet?
