Republicans in Washington are divided over how to handle Donald Trump, who after Super Tuesday is a step closer to becoming the GOP standard-bearer this fall. Trump’s rise has stunned establishment Republicans, who have been grasping for any strategy that might deny Trump the nomination.

In other words, “establishment” Republicans would be perfectly okay with an America hating witch who left Americans to die in Benghazi and who most likely passed classified information on to America’s enemies.

With this split the GOP no longer exists and will never be in power again. The communists Democrats and corrupt criminals will run America forever. What is so aggravating is that the people are speaking loudly and the GOPe are not listening.

What are these GOPe geniuses going to do when Trump makes good on his threat to go third party?
You can only poke a dog with a stick so many times before he turns around and bites.

I am getting tired of hearing highly educated yet mentally challenged personalities talking about bringing people together, I don’t want and don’t like anyone attempting to bring me together with socialists, neither appease them or whatever as they are the undoing of nations in general including this once Great Nation of ours.

All one has to do is look around, not just here but worldwide, just one disaster after another. Socialism needs to be rejected at each and every turn of the way. Initially everyone may mean well but in the end it never ends well and proving the old adage “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” correct over and over.

To the GOP, it’s all about them, not the American people. Time for a housecleaning. And if we don’t rise up and get it done, then we’ve no one to blame but ourselves.

Seems easy to resolve this split, these “Republicans” just need to decide which party they are going to support:

1. The MAGA Party for those who support America and We The People, with Donald J. Trump as it’s nominee for President

2. The Democrat Party for the rest, with Hillary Rotten Clinton the presumptive nominee.

Hell these “Republicans” keep threatening to vote for Hillary anyhow so why not make them be honest about it and just go join the Democrat party then.

If he’s split them, he’s won.

The Dead Enders are throwing in with Mitt today.
The more pragmatic ones who don’t wish to spend decades in the political wilderness will start cutting deals with Trump.

The GOPe needs to learn that all successful movements go from the bottom up.

The old top-down approach with a room full of cigar-chompers making all the rules will no longer work in a free society.

Should the GOPe deny the clearly expressed will of their party again, then why bother being in the party at all?

I think this would be the final straw for many, myself included. Hell, even the attempt might be enough.

Of course they would be fine with it, it’s not going to affect them at all. They still get to keep their cushy job, and continue to reap the benefits from deals paid for by the taxpayers.

They are all for majority-rules when they’re the majority.

If the GOP goes the way of the Whig Party and dissolves, it could actually be good for conservatism.

Right now, we have a liberal socialist party, and a party which is liberal-lite.

It would be no great loss to see the Republican party go away, to be replaced by a new conservative oriented party as the 2nd party in American politics.

While we have had 2 major parties for most of our history, the two major parties have not always been today’s Republican and Democrat parties. There’s no reason that we have to have two parties, and for those parties to be Republican and Democrat. Times change, issues change, and political parties could also change, if enough people worked for such change. Now would be a good time for conservatives to form that new party.

As I’ve said from the first; the revolution wished for is here- and it’s been started and being led by Donald.
This is our last chance to take our country back and make it great again.
WE HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT AGAINST THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT INFESTED WITH MUZZIES AND COMMIES AND HAVE BEEN IGNORED.

DONALD IS OUR VOICE.

DON’T LET HIM DOWN.
