“””Donate directly to Donald J Trump .com instead of RNC and let him distribute to the people he wants”””””

I stopped giving to them long ago. I will donate money to someone I like but I sure as hell don’t trust them to do so.

While they are crying in their beer,

They are all dead to me.

Better they were gone and replaced by someone more loyal to the nation.

Thanks to Trump they have been run out from under their rocks. They have all self-identified as being NO friend of the people.

"Now they have a choice between "Corrupt Hillary"" It's Crooked Hillary, is it not?

My mistake. I used my name for Hillary, from years ago, instead of Donald's name for her.

Be thankful it’s becoming easier to identify them.

Actually, it was 4 times.

In 2001, a bill was circulating through Congress, but the 9-11 attack caused it to be put on hold. The next year, it was reinvigorated but was stopped on a technicality by Senator Byrd (D-WV).

In his 2nd term, bills were tried again -- once before the 2006 election, where the Senate failed to pass it. After the election -- with the Congress (Dems) he thought he would work with -- different bills failed in the Senate and in the House.

That certainly seems to be good news. It is a list of people who I wish would change their self-identification to Democrat.

People are tired of being told what’s good for them. Now that we the people have chosen our nominee, these folks want to stay home and pout. Too bad, they are the ones who got us into this mess..

Thank you for referencing that article Salman. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots beware !

The only time we hear the term “Republican,” arguably an extinct political species, is the during the year before election day.

The constitutionally undefined Republican Convention for nominating a president is better referred to as the RINO nominating Convention imo, Trump actually a very welcome exception to “Republican” Party politics.

The Bush (crime) family, along with Obama, almost destroyed America. It was the Bush senior started NAFTA and opened the market to China, it was G W Bush who let China in GATT that facilitated China flood US market with their junk products, and ignored the stealing of US technologies. It’s G W Bush again led America into the bloody war in Iraq, wasting four trillions and thousand of life, while China waited sideline and took all the oil . Trump should decline them even if they want to attend.

Former President George W. Bush, former President George H.W. Bush, John Edward Bush: the family that practically adopted Bill Clinton ... all Hillary Clinton enablers claiming to be Republicans, the very definition of `RINO’.

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

Linda will not be at the Convention, per orders from the National Organization for Women.
