What the GOPe doesn't want to admit today, the Party is in the midst of civil war and they are losing.
Ramirez seems to dislike Trump.
>Lincoln was selected in a brokered convention at the WigWam in Chicago in 1860.
And we ended up with the bloodiest war in America history thanks to that choice.
This is how stupid EveningStar and the rest of the Cuck-Establishment is. They seriously think that a contested convention is going to produce a super hero like Abe Lincoln. Just you wait. Paul Ryan is going to free all those little establishment pundits, lawyers and other assorted grafters from the slavery of a real job.
If they succeed, say good-bye to the Republican party. No one will ever trust them again.
Say hello to:
Increased taxation
Increased abortion
Increased illegal immigration
Increased funding for the whole spectrum of lunatic Global Warming fanatics
Increased racism
Increased government waste
Increased weakening of America’s military
Increased terrorism targeting Americans
Increased (and very severe) weakening of the US economy
Increased inroads on Second Amendment issues (and very possibly firearms confiscation in many cases)
Increased irrelevance of the US Constitution
... and on and on.
He’s obviously trying to say that, but the message to those with more of an education on Lincoln than what the propaganda factories spew up is quite the opposite.
Ramirez thinks everybody loves Lincoln.
And we're not?
those little establishment pundits, lawyers and other assorted grafters = GOP ESTABLISHMENT.
A contested convention is being touted by the GOPe as a good thing because look, it got us Lincoln! Of course this is a pretty bad analogy as in 1860 the U.S. was on the brink of civil war.
Yes, and Lincoln made sure we had a Civil War than caused the death of the equivalent of 16 million people today and twice that injured. We are still feeling the effects of the Civil War and its aftermath.
We’ll get a two faced fascist butcher as President?
Lincoln was before television. The voters are going to see this sausage being made up close and personal. The Republican brand won’t survive that.
We may be pretty close today also. Depends upon the determined will of the people to remain free of tyranny.
“How.”
That wasn’t a question, but a word that was heard coming out of the WigWam.
:)
Oh Great!
That guy oversaw the bloodiest war in U.S. History! It cost the lives of around 620,000. A recent study puts the number of dead as high as 850,000. The lower number constitutes about 2.5% of the population in the 1860’s
To put that into perspective if we lost 2.5% of the population that would be around 8,750,000.
Perhaps we should avoid a brokered convention and just nominate Trump. He has the best chance to win.
If you don’t believe that tell me what candidate on the Republican side can win any state that Romney did not win in 2012?
And loss of the Supreme Court and that means this country will no longer survive.
This is the stupid site; what better result than to get half of your opponent’s political party to mistrust and deride the other based solely paranoid scenarios. One genius here not even identifying Abraham Lincoln. The Democrat created meme of GOPe is working.
And you don’t think we are now?
Really.... the Art of the Deal’s author as the central point of focus for a contested convention. If it was the other way around and Cruz had 700 delegates and Trump had 500, wouldn't people be saying that once Trump got to Cleveland he would wheel and deal the delegate till he won the nomination?
Anyway, saw you were a Marine and liked your posts. Semper Fi.
