Can you elaborate? This country is already in world of hurt. In my view, we are the Roman Republic around 150AD. Still big, military strong, but in decay internally. The Donor classes in this country control both parties, but since I am a Republican, I am tired of them controlling this party and passing legislation that is not in the best interest of Americans (all Americans). Unfortunately, too many of the democrats don’t see it. Their party is rigged with Super delegates an these Free Trade, which are not fair trade, and open border policies are party orthodoxy for both dems and reps.

I have just had enough. If the Republican party blows up, so be it. Maybe a party that can balance both rational taxation, regulation and government spending, and trade deals that don’t sacrifice US workers, communities and economy, which I think is a national security risk similar to the 1970s when we were 70% dependent on foreign oil, do we want to be dependent on other countries for consumer goods that are manufactured? I personally don’t think so.

A foreign policy that only commits US troops when the US is attacked, not this nation building crap

And a Judicial philosophy in the tradition of my 2 fellow Americans of Italian Ancestry, the late Scalia, and Alito, along with Justice Thomas.

No more David Souters,

I completely agree with your sentiments. The thing is, though, a lot of Trump supporters really don’t understand the concept of going from the frying pan into the fire.

My position on this whole thing is “Cruz or lose”.

If we’re the Roman republic, where’s Brutus?

And I don’t take that position lightly.

There is a reason I bought my farm in central KY two weeks before the 2008 election, even though I thought McCain (who I did not like) would win. I moved there from my home of 45 years, Seattle, in 2011. You can see it in a link in my account.

I learned back then that the problem was not obama. The problem was the electorate. It’s not only getting worse, but it has infected the conservative side just as bad as the liberal side. We are close to the end.

This is a good time to watch Dr. Zivago. But it’s not about the love story.

Amen. I am where you are.
