NeverTrumpers were never that afraid of Hillary, that they longed for Trump to win.

They saw a Trump loss as a quick route back to the political arena in 2020.

Oops! That damned Trump WON!!!!

Love it!

Exactly. I remain a Republican to be involved in the primaries, but living in California that’s almost a waste of time.

We don’t vote until it’s over most nomination years.

I think a lot of conservatives identify themselves as independents in order to avoid being targeted by the left.

Thanks...it never ends. It was SICKENING to hear Cruz say that the bitch did it on her own (the photo of Trump’s wife). She is a TOP TIER professional in the business, she knows full well to NEVER do a hit like that without coordinating.

Thankfully Trump knew the same...and Cruz paid for it.

Has resistance to Obama in the democrat party decreased?

Hillery? AOC?

Since the Bush/Trump truce the Trump grassroots and Bush political machine can unite for 2020.

Registered Democrats, meanwhile, outnumber Republicans nationwide by some 12 million.

I wonder how many of these are illegal aliens?

Many states give illegals full drivers licenses, without detailing their illegal status.

And many Voter Registration offices accept drivers licenses as proof of residence.

Ipso facto, illegals vote in those states, especially the anti-American Left among them.

There seems to be a lot of Mormon politicians who are either Dem or Republican with not a lot of real differences between them. Such as Reid and Romney.

Say.... you don’t think of Dem and Pub Mormon politicians might be playing their own games in destabilizing the US while deftly trying to position their church cult to be the reigning king makers when the SHTF?....nawwwwwwwwww! Not the triumphalist Mormons....that would be too Islamic of them!(Mitt did the socialized medicine thing in Mass. as governor there for example)

The Republican Party had lost its way and was on the verge of becoming the American political DoDo bird until President Trump became POTUS.

I don’t quite know what to think about all this Republican self-flagellation; POTUS is a WINNER! And for whatever reason, many “Republicans” can’t stand their new-found status as WINNERS!

HST, until I am convinced that President Trump has 100% support in the Republican Party hierarchy, I’ll continue my long-standing practice of not financially supporting the Party and directly supporting WORTHY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

Same here. My wife and I are independent, and vote in the Republican primary, here in New Hampshire.

Yesterday, someone from the NH Republican Party called me. I ripped her a brand new asshole. Told her that not until the Republican Party starts backing President Trump and running decent candidates against the RATS, will we consider supporting them.

She tried to say that it wasn’t their fault that RATS got elected. I hung up on her in mid-whine!

Wife and I left Republican party years ago - too many lies- too many broken promises. We voted Trump and our local GOP Councilman but not the GOP State Senator.

I would be ashamed to belong to the party here in Virginia.

I’m glad Virginia doesn’t have party affiliation.
