Folks, I contend the GOP has been heavily influenced by people like this man, John Sununu. In his infinite wisdom he has blasted Donald Trump since day one. I can clearly recall the lamblasting he gave Newt Gingrich, too.

Here's a guy who, personifies the disharmony in our party. Do you think in a minute he'll campaign or support the winner, whoever that will be?

All the people running on our side are good people. Each of them can do a better job than the man in the White House now or the two the democrats have.

Trump is no conservative. Neither is Sununu.

“All mouth”, he says. Is Sununu challenging Trump to a fistfight?

I agree. Trump is phony and is no conservative.

But I say to Mr. Sununu, it takes one to know one.

First time I have ever agreed with Sununu.

Trump: Moderate Nationalist Chainsaw

Sununu: has-been, trying to stay relevant

Sununu is no conservative, so how would he know?

The Cheap Labor Express is desperate to stop us from electing anyone who would stop them.

And who better to judge than RINO who told Bush that Souter ‘would uphold conservative values” on the Supreme Court.

He is setting up the straw man that to be a registered Republican, one must have impeccable conservative credentials, even though poll after poll has shown that conservativism per se is a minority of around 40% of our electorate, within which an extreme conservative faction of around 10% or more are too pure to vote for insufficiently conservative candidates (most of whom seem to post on this Forum), leaving a group of around 30% potential conservative voters who would actually vote for a more moderate candidate. So how does he propose that Republicans make up the difference to actually win a national race like the presidency -- especially since we do not have a one man-one vote pure democracy, so a wide margin needs to be built in to account for the Electoral College system that protects us from mob rule.

The pecksniffian holier-than-thou wing of the "party" loathes people who make the attempt to actually form a big tent and get along with many types of groups through finding broad common interests, believing their role to be exclusionary and doctrinaire rather than "love thy neighbor", "pray for your enemies" and "render unto Caesar" Christians so that we might have a nation that, despite its pluribus, remains unum. Trump personifies the big tent type of leader, who loves people as he finds them, seeks to draw out of each group the positive basics that many American groups have in common, and seems to want to exclude only the sworn and demonstrable enemies (illegals and ideological supporters of shari'a) of this broader idea of a workable Christian society.

Those Christians who want to use this election to force the U.S. back into a functional theocracy by the power of Federal government do not seem to realize what they are demanding of their candidate, and how greatly they will be disillusioned if Cruz were to be elected and then fail to outlaw abortion and other religious hot-button issues due to opposition from the large liberal/progressive contingent.

God and His law are not defeated by those who don't believe. Doubts, fears and unrepentant sin in the hearts of believers have allowed the fascist secularists to take over. The hearts of believers need to be governed by the minds of believers, first and foremost. Government cannot do that for us.

The Republic is crumbling. The enemy needs but one final charge to snuff out the flickering flame of freedom. To bring us all darkness, for all time. You say to the man in the foxhole with you,
‘Give me the Holy Hand Grenade!’
Sununu replies,’No thou shan’t use this one, for it is not holy enough!’
‘What does that matter? They are coming, hand me The Holy Hand Grenade of Manhattan! Now!’
Sununu,’No, it is a far better thing for all of us to be imprisoned, tortured, and hopefully die rather than using a weapon that is not holy enough!’
The specter of Hitlery’s walking dead can be seen slogging their way closer and closer, in exasperation, you train your side arm at Sununu’s forehead and say,’Hand me the Holy Hand Grenade of Manhattan...NOW!’
Jeb intervenes and says, ‘Umm, er, I can fix it! I’ll crawl back to camp and get the Holy Hand Grenade of Ambien. You guys stay here, I’ll be back. I’m going to fix this.’ He then falls asleep.
Ted Cruz says in a direct and articulated manner, with a strained face of constipation,
‘Halt! You can not shoot a conscript for refusing an order. The last to do so was one Eddie Slovak, who in 1945 was found guilty of desertion.The case was adjudicated on Nov 11 by nine staff officers of the 28th Division, none of whom had yet been in battle. One of those judges, Benedict B. Kimmelman, wrote a stark and intriguing account of his role in the story of Pvt Slovik, capturing the scene thusly:
Five witnesses were heard. The cross-examinations were perfunctory. The defense made no closing argument. The court recessed for ten minutes, resumed, and retired almost immediately afterward...’

With time running out you pull the trigger, grab the Holy Hand Grenade of Manhattan, and that’s when Huckabee starts his incantation:’Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Manhattan, saying, ‘Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.’
While Rubio is enlisting illegals,Christie is complaining about the lack of rations and Paul is rolling a joint, Fiorina is busy selling company ordinance for half the cost and Kaisch is waving a white flag. You toss the Holy Hand Grenade of Manhattan and count,’One, Two, Five!’
With great aplomb,the weapon detonates causing the most beautiful, grand explosion ever seen, it was such a wonderful and great explosion that you will never remember or want to see any other explosion. It was a yuuuge explosion with the loudest of loud booms ever that boomed!
You look out of the fox hole, and they were all gone. And you say, ‘We win, they lose.’
