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.

After what the GOPe did to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, they deserve to be burned at the stake. Good riddance, spit.

No, a Trump victory will be the end of any chance of Constitutional government returning to America in our lifetimes.

What do you call Trump, who has supported all these globalists for many years?

“some of the women that Clinton raped and abused will be coming out for Trump...”

I hope they don’t fall victim to the Clinton Mafia. I hope Trump has them in witness protection for the time being. Their lives truly are in danger.

One has to wonder why the party is coalescing behind Rubio and not Cruz. If Cruz were the closet establishment candidate some claim him to be, why not Cruz? Maybe he really is hated by the establishment wings of both parties...

If all the rumors about his previous indiscretions are to be believed, Rubio has more skeletons in his closet than Harvard Medical School.

If the Senate even appears to cave on the SC nomination, you’ll see an immediate 10 point spike in Trump’s poll numbers.

Wishful thinking or hysteria. Can’t tell the difference these day.

It seems that some who mightily opposed RINOs before now support the biggest RINO ever.

In fact it is the best chance to purge the rinos gopers vichy republicans and their coward enablers from the party.

In that sense I certainly hope it is the end of the Republican party as it festers today and has been for decades.

If it puts an end to the GOPe and their enabling of Obama at the expense of those of us they were elected to represent, it will be sweet-with the howling and gnashing of teeth from McConnell, Ryan, and the rest-congress may actually have to listen to do as we want again-at last...
