We were all expected to show up going RAH! RAH! at the conventions to support their nominees. Now suddenly, when we the base get our candidate, unification and support are optional.

You GOP-Elites are truly the most hypocritical scum of the earth. Please do stay away from OUR convention, and good riddance!

Who gives a damn!!

Always remember that B.J. Clinton was hanging out with them and they considered him a part of the "Family".

“The Bush family destroyed the Republican party and gave us Obama..f’n good riddance.”

I used to think people that said this were a couple beers short of a six pack and generally angry people. I was 100% wrong. It is I that was crazy :-).

Okay and the former Presidents did what as Obama bashed and blamed everything on GW!
Family ties with their buddy Bill Clinton,ya know the story.. their son from another mother. Okay who cares.
Jeb was their payback to their buds,the Clintons.
Back-fired and destroyed by Donald Trump!
Goodbye Bushes and Clintons.

The convention is a TV show. Good news for Trump trying to appeal to independents if he doesn’t have to feature any Bushes.

Rather, use FUDC! in big bold formatted letters.

Another Trump Effect.

Exposing just how much damage the Bush family has inflicted on this country since 1989.

Jeb can join them.

When I look at this nation and realize how much damage was done to it over the last 27 years, and then realize the Bushes governed 12 of those years, it makes me despise that family.

I’m with you on that,DO.

After the Gulf War in ‘91, Papa Bush went NWO on us, and that is when it came out. He began the destruction of the Reagan legacy, and Jeb declared it dead.

The Bushs and Clintons go way back-probably to Mean AK airpotrt days in the early 1980s—that is why Bush the Younger rehabilitated Bill Clinton after the 2004 tsunami.

And GWB paved the way for Obama, and then kept his mouth shut while Obama ruined the country.

And let’s not forget, after 9/11—Islam is a religion pf peace and go shopping. And let’s kiss the rear end of the House of Saud!

Oh, and no WMDs in Iraq! Surprise, surprise!

Heck of a job, there, Brownie!

Spit.

All that money. All those military lives. All those limbs.

All for nothing.

Someday, I’ll tell you how I really feel about them.

I am grateful to Trump for knocking out Low Energy Jeb, who was the planned GOP nominee for 2016 and who was designated to lose to Hillary.

And BTW, you did an awesome job with your daily caucuses, and also defending Trump daily on this forum.

My hat’s off to you.

My first vote was for Reagan (his 2nd term). IF ONLY he would have chosen someone else for VP instead of allowing that horrible family to get a foothold.

Can you imagine how much better things would be now sans the back-stabbing Bush family running the party for 25 years?

I hope that some of the damage can be undone; and also hope that Trump does NOT appoint a VP who isn’t 100% on board with his “America First” values.

I was writing my post just below yours when you posted. Agree with you wholeheartedly. Had a friend, who at 40 went back to the Military after 9/11 in an ambulance/vehicle maintenance capacity...he "was" a staunch conservative.

Lovely stories about millions of dollars of parts/engines/equipment that they were REQUIRED to dump in the trash heap whenever another unit was coming in to relieve them.

Just one example he shared: They needed an engine for an ambulance. No inventory...might take 2 days to arrive from Kuwait. So, they went out to the "dump" (not supposed to do that of course)...AND GOT A NEW ONE STILL IN THE FACTORY CRATE...so that they could keep the ambulance running. Yes, it had been thrown away...and there were piles of them. Gotta keep that inventory turning doncha know?

The Bush family & their allies are a den of thieves.

That is some story.

The money to buy that wasted material is part of the $19 trillion debt we owe, too.

Love your screenname.

Just watched some Youtube videos on the M-1 Garand the other day—terrific weapon.
