Yes, getting ‘rat votes is one thing if it’s because they have decided that they can live with a few conservative principles in order to deal with things like closing our open borders, but it’s another entirely if they’re only coming in to try to make what’s left of a formerly mostly conservative party into the mini-me of the ‘rat party.

And I’m not forgetting how the GOPe “reached out” to ‘rat voters in the run-off to defeat the conservative who won the primary, just not by enough to avoid the run-off. They didn’t reach out by espousing conservatism, they reached out by smearing the conservative and flat-out lying about him, calling him a racist with implied ties to the KKK and other such gutter tactics.

If getting ‘rat votes-”reaching out”-means finishing the job of turning the GOP into the mini-me of the ‘rat party, what has that accomplished for conservatism? Or don’t conservative principles matter anymore?

Time will tell if Trump gets the nomination, and again if he gets the WH.

But those who are mad as hell that the GOP in congress didnt shutdown the government to force Obama to sign repeals of Obama-care and Planned Parenthood funding, and decided to vote for Trump to spite them,and because Trump talks tough ,will probably have a rude awakening if the above (he gets those positions) comes true.

I don’t understand this sentiment. The GOP, right now, is the Democrat mini-me. You said “Or don’t conservative principles matter anymore?” and I say the GOP hasn’t been conservative in many, many years. At least not in any way that matters.
