Of course, the upcoming primaries were only supposed to be a formality until this rogue Trump came along.
Since 1968, these have been the choices that the conventional Republican Party have made for us with regard to presidential nominee, not counting re-election years as that's redundant:
1968 - Nixon
1976 - Ford
1980 - Bush Sr (until RR upset their plans)
1988 - Bush Sr
1996 - Dole
2000 - Bush Jr
2008 - McCain
2012 - Romney
2016 - ¿Jeb?
That’s why I say, if anything, Reagan was the RINO. The others are typical Republicans.
Since the GOPe is not in the best position to force a deal, I think as a gesture of goodwill they should do whatever is necessary to FIRE Boehner & McConnell and replace them with conservatives. Then we can talk about pledges.
What you say? Never.
Ok. Guess we’ve got to burn the party down and rebuild from scratch. No other alternatives.
