As long as she still is for Trump, then let her join the Snake Kissers Party. There, she’d fit in perfectly.

Despite her questionable taste in men, her dumping the GOP sounds like a very sane decision. They have certainly been a circular firing squad since second term Bush. I intend to give the down ticket pubbies the same level of support they have given Donald Trump.

Watching the alleged leaders of the Republican Party whine and scream and stamp their feet over Trump’s nomination, I suspect she’ll be the first of many.

“She still favors Trump and opposes Hillary Clinton.”

If so, why did she time the announcement for immediately after Trump’s victory, particularly when her patrons the Bushes announced through intermediaries they won’t support Trump?

There is an agenda here. Everything Carville and Matalin do is calculated. That’s their business.

I’d dump the Republicans too but then I couldn’t vote in the primaries

All she did was have new stationary printed up

She and snake head have pretty much milked the "battling married pundits but we still love each other" schtick about as much as they can

Glenn Beck was just singing her praises, she was on his radio show. Just missed what she actually said, I’m sure it was nothing complimentary to Trump.

If they would stop letting Libertarians run on the Republican ticket, we could have a truly conservative patriot chosen by the people. The Libertarians and non-Repubs that run on the repub ticket spread the votes so conservatives and good candidates are eliminated - which is what the GOPe wants.

Mary and Jim earned their millions and are now irrelevant.

I am of the opinion that there is a fight for the soul of the Republican party. Conservatives represent roughly 20% of the party and is growing, but they are not the ones in power. The GOPe also represent roughly 20% but are shrinking, however, they are the ones in power.

Trump has tapped into the 40% of the party that is just pissed and want the Dems kicked to the curb. The remaining 20% are single issue voter and tend to not be organized into a group.

Now what this means is that the GOP party is coming to a pivot point. Remember that delegates vote on more than just the nominee. They set the rules for the next election cycle and the party platform gets set, etc. That is why it is STILL important to grab as many conservative delegates as possible.

With enough conservatives as delegates, the GOPe will be pushed out of the party power tree. If Trump wins the general AND GOVERNS as a conservative, we can expect two terms. That means the GOPe will be out of power for 8 years. This will be very bad for those PACs, pundits and lobbyists who have built their Rolodex around the GOPe. This will require a realignment of PACs and politicians. Different interests come into play.

Basically the Uniparty loses a wing and gains a true opposition.

Mary Matalin GOPe jumps ship.

Poor Mary. She always seemed like a very strange woman in a strange marriage.

“Mary Matalin, a high-profile political pundit and veteran strategist for the Republican Party, changed her party registration to Libertarian from Republican, she said on Thursday”

I did the same in 2006. Congrats, M&M. What took you so long?

She was on Beck this morning. Sad she listens to him every day

That mental illness is bad enough but never forget she has NEVER been a republican. She was always a Bush operative.

PLUS she has been irrelevant since 1994

I do love the quote she gave about how the party didn’t leave her, that the party did was leave the keys in the ignition and the car running....

I did get a chuckle out of that.
