The GOP's 24-hour meltdown
Politico ^ | May 6, 2016 | Nolan D. McCaskill

Posted on 05/06/2016 5:01:16 PM PDT by Innovative

Trump's promise to unify the Republican Party is in tatters, as an all-out civil war grips the GOP.

Donald Trump on Tuesday night assumed the mantle of presumptive nominee and declared, “We want to bring unity to the Republican Party. We have to bring unity.”

Three days later, the GOP is tearing itself apart.

Friday brought another day of incredible division and revolt with Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham falling in line not behind Trump, but behind House Speaker Paul Ryan, who said a day earlier that he cannot yet support the brash real estate mogul as his party’s standard-bearer.

The Romneys; The Bushes; The Hatfields and The MacCoys are all sitting over with Hillary trying to decide how to take Trump out...

Guess what, you can’t and you aren’t...if anyone takes Trump out it will be himself, he made him into what he is today, and he’s the only one that can take him out...Rush Limbaugh said that right after Trump announced almost a year ago...

So all you whining little brats, crawl over to Hillary and figure out what your going to do with the rest of your lives....

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

But look at who they are !! All 3 Bushes (good luck to GeorgeP if he ever seeks national office), McCain, Romney, Graham, McCain ???? Seriously. And who ever heard of Sasse before he started mouthing off vs. Trump? It should help that these squishy geezers are rejecting his bid. Let them go. And never come back.

every time Trump tells the GOP to go screw itself....he picks up more Dem votes.

That may not make many GOP people happy, but it’s the truth.

A few more weeks like this, and Trump may well lead the polls.

Paul Ryan needs to be made to understand that if he blows up the convention or otherwise sabotages Trump as the nominee, Ryan will need to spend the rest of his life sleeping with one eye open and behind tall walls. He is aiding and abetting those who plan to destroy America and will have joined the enemy.

Always good to see graham and bush check in on things just so I can make sure I’m still 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

More noise from Politico. Nothing new in this article. Some of the same crybabies and sore losers that vowed not to support him aren’t yet crawling back. Most of them are absolutely irrelevant, and have been from the first primary forward. Somebody wake me when Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush’s
additive approval ratings hit 4%.

Thanks.

Anyone, and I mean anyone who can disagree with Trump’s foreign policy (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-foreign-policy-speech) is no supporter of the United States.

Anyone.

It’s unreal, all these years of pushing these milquetoast “lose with dignity” types on us, and we finally get one of ours through, and they can’t stand it.

All these so called “Conservative” republican Leaders are Just plain Republicans. They are NOT conservatives and sure as hell aren’t leaders.

They are the fake conservatives that have beaten down every conservative we have elected to office to do what we the people wanted done.

How many good people have been sent to Washington after being elected on their pledges to help clean up the mess in DC, only to have them beaten down by the republican elites and having committee positions taken away and re-election money removed? After being beaten up by a bunch of bullies they now can be free to vote the way WE wanted all thanks to Donald Trump and his team.

We know who the real republican conservatives are and Donald Trump is exposing the liars for who they say they are.

It’s time to make our great nation great again!

The GOPe has to do whatever it’s debt masters tell it to do (invade Iraq, topple Asad, kill Ghadaffi, mass illegal immigration, etc. etc). They have committed treason for their foriegn debt holders and will continue to do so. Pledges that they make to the American people are meaningless.

Yup, here is the gang of 16 pledging to support the Republican presidential nominee.

http://dailycaller.com/2015/08/06/trump-delivers-instant-chaos-at-start-of-primetime-debate/

Bush, Graham, and Cruz have proven they cannot be trusted and are liars.

Based on their actions they should never expect to be elected to public office... ever!

“Three days later, the GOP is tearing itself apart.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Whenever someone has the stomach flu, or coming off an alcoholic binge, and they are heaving into the white polished receptacle, it may appear (and feel) as though they are tearing themselves apart, but when all the gorp is out, they feel MUCH better!

Go Trump! Let the righteous purges begin on behalf of real Americans! Let’s get it right this time!

How many times, during the past 4-5 months, was Politico in the forefront of predicting Trump hitting his “ceiling”?

Those against Trump are in the minority and being isolated. Jeb and Graham were complete losers in the race and have no support from the public. Ryan is a wuss and going nowhere but out of power.

Read the list of Trump endorsements, it’s too long to type out here.
