Rep. King Warns: ‘End of the Republican Party’ If Trump or Cruz Isn’t Nominated
Tea Party ^ | 4/6/2016 | Breitbart Staff

Posted on 04/06/2016 1:48:14 PM PDT by HomerBohn

Breitbart) – Rep. Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who supports SenatorSen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the GOP primary, tells Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon that when it comes to the coming GOP convention, “If they’re maneuvering now to undermine their own rules to move a third candidate into this, I think it could split this party and it could split this party so deeply that it could be the end of the Republican Party.”

King was responding to a question about a contested convention, adding, “It’s hard to say definitively that if we go to convention and it’s not Trump or Cruz that everything blows up but I can see where that can be the case and maybe even where it should be the case.”

King said the establishment doesn’t write the rules out of altruism but from self -interest and if the rules don’t give them what they want, they can and will re-write them.

The problem with both major Parties is that they are controlled by the Established Eliites. The Parties feel only they know what the people want without any input from the people.

“End of the Republican Party” is fine by me. The only reasons I had left to support the GOP were to stop Obamacare, stop faggot-marriage, and stop the open-borders invasion. Not only did they fail on all three, they have pretty much teamed up with the Dems and done the opposite.

So to hell with the Republican Party.

It is pretty obvious that is exactly their plan.

And the presidents that followed Reagan paved the way to the demise of the United States. ALL if them, but special recognition goes to the current most evil SOB to ever set foot on American soil: Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama. A true citizen of the world and America’s catastrophe.

It’s the end of the Republican party if Cruz is nominated, too. The idea that he is any different than the rest of the criminal cabal is absurd. We either get Trump and work to fumigate Washington or the GOP can burn in hell.

If the Cheap Labor Express gets their amnesty candidate from the RNC/GOP, the GOP is finished.

We want the invasion stopped and the laws enforced.

They know perfectly well what we want.

They are working to prevent us from doing anything about it.

At this point, I’m not even sure I’d trust Cruz, since he has joined forces with the Bush team, but I have held my nose for worse.

At present Ted is working hard to mend his fences with the elite careerists running the country into the swamp.

He’s right. But the GOP is already on life-support.

Right you are.

Teddy the TOOL is their new toy.

How is he any different than those propping him up?

He’s not and anyone who is being honest can see that.

Oh, and one more thing.

King is fos - he was part of the game that said Carson had dropped out while Iowa was voting. Dope tweeted it, so either he’s not as bright as we thought he was, or he’s a slimy as the rest.

Wondering which it is - though at this point, it makes no difference.

I thought this was going to be Peter King, and felt hell freezing over.

Somehow I’m not feeling the love from a party any more. It mostly seems to have gone it’s own way, focused only upon a tunnel-vision view of what’s good for the party leadership, having forgotten it’s origin as people of like cause, coming together.

The party provides only token representation of the grassroots membership, speaking words in order to move the flock appropriately as needed, neglectful until new votes must be harvested. Absent wresting power overtly, they operate contentedly, driving their flock as needed to support their prosperity.

More likely that the Bushes are simply falling in line behind Cruz.

Lies upon lies from some Trump supporters.

King cited and news report and he said that it looked like King was dropping out.
