Who cares?

I care, A lot!

Think of all the low-information voters who heard "Bush's fault" for eight years. Now they have a choice between "Corrupt Hillary" (a title supported by evidence) and a candidate rejected by the entire family blamed for our problems. That's a big win for Trump, and I'm celebrating.

New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte

I'm surprised Ms. Ayotte would make such a foolish choice. I wonder who she thinks will be working on her get out the vote efforts - the Hillary campaign?

The honorable John McCain won’t be there?

This is proof of what a clown he is.

This reads like a Who’s-Who of Globalists and Elitists. Not a conservative in the bunch.

"Unlikely," Ayotte told CNN. "I've got a lot of work to do in New Hampshire, I have my own re-election and I'm going to be focusing on my voters in New Hampshire."

Apparently Sen. Ayotte has forgotten that the "voters in New Hampshire" she needs to win re-election are Republicans and conservative independents, and they voted for Trump in the primary.

What a blunder on her part.

I voted for that sack of crap George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

He should be rotting in a prison cell for the rest of his worthless life for all the harm he has done to this country.

No Lindsey Graham??? I can think of one constituency that will be mortified, just mortified.

I get the Sarcasm.

but if the folks of South Carolina aren't already mortified just by having him as their Senator....I don't know what would accomplish that.

I won’t be sorry to miss anyone on that list. I hope that Trump will put some focus upon developing a new, much better generation of Republican leadership to quickly displace all that deadwood. He can replace these parasites with a new leaner, meaner, smarter team......

I would not let them in the door. They are infected with Rinosyneria disease and should be quarantined from the body politics.
