I'm finished with the Republican Party... Are you? (vanity)
5 April, 2016 | Me

Posted on 04/05/2016 6:39:49 PM PDT by Magnatron

I've only recently become a Trump supporter. I was leaning toward Cruz, but couldn't go with him when he decided to collude with the GOPe, fully knowing (I have to imagine) that there wasn't a snowball's chance in Hell they would pick him in a contested convention. It's obvious that the GOP has decided to self destruct. Their disregard for conservatives and their complete disdain for the middle and working class has turned my stomach.

I've turned in my membership. I'm finished for good with the Republican Party. I've decided to go Independant from this point forward, and I've gotten to,wondering...

...how many folks here have moved out too?

I've been done with the GOP for years. I am a Conservative not a Repubilikan. I won't vote for Trump under any circumstances because he is not a conservative. I'll vote for Conservatives down ticket as I have the past 2 cycles.

I get where Trump supporters are coming from by refusing to vote for anyone but Trump and I'm no position to criticize that position. What leaves me a bit baffled is the additional vow to vote for Dim’s down ticket..

They would without hesitation substitute Ryan.

The "They" you refer to are the delegates. Here in MA we vote for MOST of them later this month.

Yes, the GOPe will have a few "superdelegates" (Here in MA its about 15). But, over 40 delegates will be committed to the winner on the 1st ballot (Trump from MA), then released... and they by and large will be Trump/Cruz-minded delegates. These delegates will retain rule-40, thus eliminating ANY possibility of a Kasich or Ryno. The second ballot WILL BE either Trump or Cruz.

I will vote for Trump or Cruz as the Nominee.

If it should be Ryno, ... if it should be anybody other than Trump/Cruz... well, might have to leave the GOP.

“I am sending money to Ryan’s republican opponent.”

Excellent!

And I’m attending my gope delegate convention.

I’m not going to make it easy on them.

I’m not leaving.

So you are a delegate eh? One of these self important jackasses who think that our votes don’t matter rather it is your smarmy opinions. Better hope to God I never meet you in person. It would not be pretty.

You seriously must want people to hate you and your candidate.

“I will vote for Trump or Cruz as the Nominee.”

Are you a delegate?

I’ve heard the MA Trump delegates may be disqualified: Rule 16.

Will have to just agree to disagree. Cruz has been rock steady all along on principal, and, IMHO, grateful for help wherever it comes from - yes, even GOPe - but he's got a great deal of help from GOPtp. I believe that is where his heart is - and that is why he has my support.

Where you see backstabbing, I see "making a deal" that benefits the campaign to get the desired GOPtp outcome.

T think Trump might win a 3-way race with GOPe candidate and Hillary.

Think about it: The flaky Perot was right in there against GHWB & Clinton until he dropped out (temporarily).

Trump is MUCH stronger candidate than Perot, and would have weaker opponents.

Plus, in Perot’s day, the evils of NAFTA were theoretical. So were some of the attacks on American values. No longer.

Honestly at this point I do not care anymore. Smarmy F’s like Cruz can steal delegates and it is AOK by you. There is a ring in Hell for your kind. Hypocrites. Lake of crap with a tea break every 1000 years. Tea break is over, back on your head.

I almost switched parties to independent from republican several times in the last 4 years... I’ve been overly hopeful that we could clean it up from within.

I heard on Rush today that the RNC intends to change it’s platform this year to condone homosexual marriage.
If that happens, there will be no more procrastinating.

I am also waiting to see if the RNC has the balls to steal this from Trump or Cruz... if that happens, I will surely switch... just so I can be counted in those numbers that will send a clear message to the elite that they have literally killed the party.

However, As long as Trump is in there fighting within the republican party to take down the establishment, I’m there with him.

If we cant fix it, it needs to end.

All of you that talk about “stealing” delegates just make yourself look ridiculous.

GOPe is bowing to Cruz, not the other way around.

You are right, thinking is above your pay grade.

Ted sCruz is a Bushbot NWO socialist.
