Good. Time for the GOP to be serious. Actually, long past that time, and we hope it isn’t too late.

Donald plays hardball. It’s no wonder the cream-puff Pubbies despise him.

Fine. Democrats will vote for Lisa in November knowing the rat has no chance.

As for Wy. the GOP voters can ‘auction off’ the 1 house seat for 2 years. Who’s the rat candidate?

It is called a closed primary system. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has such a system as do others.

ALL republican primaries should be CLOSED.

There should be NO RATS voting in any republican primary.
