After 25 years of free trade which started with starting with NAFTA the Republicans have also done a number on middle America.

It was a high honor to have cast one of the votes that sent this creature packing. Having voted for Cantor in the previous five congressional elections, by 2014 I realized we were merely useful idiots to this corrupt careerist.

You underestimated your former constituency as well. Perhaps you are not all that bright?

Are you having a ‘good’ morning? The sun is out today and I am thrilled! But I am yet to be convinced that Ted is really out.... delegate buying may have gone under-ground, given the little bit of pundit chatter I heard on CNN. Cruz's speech centered on 1976 -GOP convention.

Cantor's underestimating of Trump began with his underestimating the
level of frustration that conservatives have with the republican party. Boom...nails it all right there.

The GOP, as it was on the eve of 2016 race, is graveyard dead. (Sniffle) I just want to say a few words over the remains:
(Bows head in prayer) "I hope you all rot in hell. Amen."
