It's the end of the GOP as we know it if Trump is elected
FOX News ^ | February 29, 2016 | By Michael Goodwin

Say this for the dim bulbs of the GOP: They finally made a decision. It is now Marco Rubio or bust.

With Rubio now designated the favorite son of the anti-Trump crowd, the theory will be tested Tuesday.

If Trump runs the table or anything close, it's game over. Not just for Rubio, but also for the party's entire establishment. Trump is a total disrupter, and the GOP would never be the same.

No one is discussing how the House will go. Trump maybe just a one off.

Trump is our weapon.

The GOP-e is our target.

Goodwin says that like its a bad thing.

Conservatives need their own Party, and the GOP ain’t it!

I like Cruz’s position on many policies but only one person can effect the change that is needed for the country. That person is Trump. A neighbor , who has been Cruz while I have had Trump as my first choice and Cruz as my second, finally came around here in Georgia today. He sees the all out assault on Trump and knows that is who the GOPe and Democrats fear. He will vote Trump tomorrow.

Hey GOPe, when your boy Rubio wins a state, get back to me.
After Trump cleans his clock on 3/15 in FL, he’s done.

For that reason alone, vote for Trump. The GOP soft-Left cartel needs to be broken up and replaced with something like the decentralized Tea Party that wants small constitutional government, low taxes, and individual and economic freedom.

Start by ousting almost ALL career politicians who are almost per se corrupt.

If the best you got is a 1st term senator who never shows up for work, and who’s only accomplishment is attempting to push Amnesty... Then you are a failed party anyway.

Sorry guys, count me out, Rubio is the nominee, don’t expect me to show up to vote for him in November... I will not aid and abet another administration run and owned by stalwarts selling out this nation for another 4 to 8 years.

Pathetic... that’s the best you have to offer... just flat out pathetic.

It would be nice to see a bunch of them jump out of windows tomorrow night, and a bunch more do the same thing on March 15.

Does that mean the R-majority house and senate will start standing up to the democrats?

Or just that they’ll start standing up to the president and keep the next president from fixing immigration after they ignored unconstitutional acts by the previous president.

Great FReeper name!

Charles Martel saved Europe from falling into the hands of the Muslim hordes. His victory at Tours made possible the Christian Middle Ages. I don’t think it’s overstating the case that had it not been for him, we’d all be speaking Arabic today and praying towards Mecca.

There’s nobody like him around anymore.

I think it’s more like Trump pulled back the curtains to expose the Wizard of Oz.

Yup! "Pay no attention to that main behind the curtain!"
