The Republican party has been doing a fine job of imploding long before Trump.

What my party has, and is doing in this election is unforgivable.

So with that said, I’m now a never GOPe. I have been shown the light by the nevertrumpers. I will not vote for any Republican down ticket even if the Dem opponent is Lucifer himself. Just following my conscience.

I think #VoteTrumpOnlyNoDownLineGOP has a chance now.

Bump!

That is exactly why Trump did not run as an independent.

When was the last time an independent ran and won the presidency? Long time.

I think it’s important for the pubbies to hold the House and Senate. Even though both bodies are filled with RINOS, holding the bodies will make implementing Trump’s plans easier.

Given the choice between a RAT and a RINO, I’ll pick the RINO every time.

The time to get rid of the RINOS was back during the primaries, not now.

Has an Independent ever won the presidency in U.S. history?

Google is your friend.

Here's a very good answer to that question from "Geoffrey Widdison" commenting on this board:

Note the last sentence.

that is true. Bitter Bettys the lot of them, looks like the dynasties are allied.

CNN, you’re stuck with Hillary and with all your smearing and sliming she still isn’t a sure thing.

Guess I should rephrase my thought. If Trump looks like a sure loser on election day, I’m taking the down ticket with him.

A Hillary win assures the end of conservative chances to ever win a national election for the rest of my life. The country will never be the same.

And if Ryan and the turtle think they can motivate me to help return them to power in 2018 to “stop” Hillary, they are dreaming. Not buying the BS anymore.

Unfortunately, the true Republicans are now very much in the minority in national offices.

Anything from the lying, vile CNN should be considered an echo from Goebbel’s Nazi Ministry of Propaganda.
