The GOP has overlooked the anger and frustration of Americans.

I’m so sick of the ‘concern trolls’ and propaganda coming out of these DC outfits.

“There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down.”

We endured the first term of this anti amercan imposter, on election night “the second time around” I remember it as clear as day, karl rove as the evening wore on predicted a romney win and for the second time around we all got screwed. 2014 we gave them all the majority to smack this bastard down and start to roll back his destructive health care, epa and irs harrassements, executive orders and what did we get? we again were spat on. I am enjoying thier roast they deserve it all

“We’re watching a political party dissolve.”

We can only hope!

“The base of the party is in open revolt. We’re watching a political party dissolve. It’s a civil war and the GOP as it’s constructed may not survive.”

I can only hope the GOP “as constructed” does not survive, if it does, the country won’t.

If this were a real civil war, then the victor would hold trials, such as for treason, and various persons, such as boner and mcclown would be held accountable and pay the ultimate price. Personally, I’d be happy if they’d be put in stocks on public display at the Capitol so everyone they’ve screwed can throw rotten veggies at them.

I think that a Convention of States scares the hell out of them. We could literally throw about 80% of Congress out of office all at once.

The communists running the DNC and the RNC country clubbers and their greedy pulled back wives are terrified of this guy.

A couple of black marxist propagandists on one of CNN tonight basically said that Trump, the Republicans, and anybody who doesn’t denounce him are racists in need an attitude adjustment.

They are really busy twisting the knife into the back of law abiding normal American taxpayers.

Trump will crucify the likes of Jeb Bush, comes right out and says he doesn’t respect him.

For that reason alone is a Godsend.

““I’ve been dealing with politicians all my life. They are all talk, no action,” Trump said. “Never going to get done. They’re controlled by the lobbyists, they’re controlled by donors, and they’re controlled by special interests.

When I tell somebody to do something, I’m not going to get a lobbyist calling me the next day to say, ‘Please don’t do that even though it’s good for America.’”

Specifically, he got asked about Jeb Bush. Not a big fan. “The last thing we need is another Bush,” Trump said.

He doesn’t seem to think much of Jeb’s brother, George W., either. During the interview, Trump said, “I would be willing to bet I would have a great relationship with [Russian President] Vladimir Putin. It’s about leadership.”

O’Reilly responded with, “You sound like George W. Bush when he looked into [Putin’s] soul and said he was a good guy.”

Trump snarked, “Bush didn’t have the IQ.”

These GOPe candidates, Bush etc will see that the REAL conservatives are getting the attention and the poll figures...Watch them attempt to sway in that direction to try and show that they, too, are “conservative”...

When they do, most conservatives will be aware of the game they are trying to play...I just hope the rank and file republicans see through their game...

Politicians on both sides have allowed thirty million plus illegals in our country. They have ruined our culture and bankrupted is. All for power and money

What a stupid accusation. I am all for any person exposing the GOPe trash, and nobody has offered me a thin dime. Trump is Balaam’s ass to me!

“F’ the GOP. They don’t get it at all.”

I think they get it. They simply don’t care what us interlopers want. Now be good and vote for their boy.

“The establishment side of the party has to show that they get it, and we haven’t seen that yet,” he said. “They’re saying that Obama has failed, they’re not saying that GOP leadership has failed. That’s not the message the base is sending.

If that is what they believe they are dead wrong, years late and trillions of dollars short. Yes, Obama has failed. We knew he would be a failure when these same idiots decided to let McCain lose to Obama. Then they promised us the death of Obamacare in 2010 and once in office, decided they didn't need to worry about it any more. Then loser Romney in 2012 and outright lies, treachery against the base (remember Mississippi), and deceit in 2014. Contrary to their belief, the exact message we are sending is that they, the GOPee, have failed and the media has failed as well as Obama.

They don't get to manipulate and control us any more. We want people in there who will do what needs to get done and not just make nice reaching across the aisle. They need to stop forcing their godless, job swallowing ideas on us and stop trying to sabotage our candidates or suffer the consequences. Because they sure aren't acting as if they've gotten the message at all.

the insiders have worn us out

It's battered voter syndrome. In spite of all the promises, we're abused after every election.

Like the article. But this bothered me:

"He said the outsiders will have an impact on the race by forcing candidates with establishment appeal to find new ways of addressing the growing sense of frustration among the base."

Why "new ways"? Is there something wrong with proven successful methods? Isn't that the antithesis of conservatism?

The only true outsider is Ben Carson. The other two, Trump and Fiorina are manipulators of the system. Particularly Trump, the better of the two, he's a master exploiter and now turning that skill to the public.

Let’s hope someone takes over the republican party. The current crop of asshats who are traitors to their electorate need to take a leap.
