WASHINGTON At an Irish pub popular among those who work on Capitol Hill, a coffin covered in black was placed across from the bar where people order pints of beer.
The attendees, former and current Republicans who once worked on Capitol Hill, gathered for a traditional Irish wake in honor of the political party they said they once knew.
We said we should get together and have a drink and toast the death of party, as we sit here and watch it dying on us, said Chris Scheve, one of the event organizers.
Those who walked into The Dubliner in downtown D.C. were initially greeted by a wreath with white flowers surrounding a sign that read R.I.P. GOP. On the bar, jelly beans a favorite of former President Ronald Reagan were available for those in attendance.
Also at the wake were Democrats who got word of the event and wanted to see what it is all about.
I am fully supportive of the Republicans that are saying Trump is not the direction that we want to go, said Democrat Angelina McIntire, of Vienna, Virginia.
A picture of Ronald Reagan sat in front of the small coffin next to portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The event took place on the night that Donald Trump accepted the GOPs nomination in Cleveland. Most of those toasting the party are upset that Donald Trump is the Republican Partys choice for President of the United States.

They need to crawl inside it.
I’ve been to this place.
I thought it was good food.
Went there for St. Patrick’s day once (I was much younger). What an experience!
It would warm the cockles of my poor little heart to hear that PRyno was Cantorized.
Well, have a good cry for the goper rino uniparty, drama queens.
It is hardly dead now.
We’re gonna make it a lot deader this November though. And hopefully ot sit on our asses too long and realize for the rest of our lives we have to keep making it more dead.
Because it always is there and it always comes back.
Someday it will figure out, it will finally return to the dnc, and rejoice at embracing the truth of what it really is.
Now this story would have a happy ending if they all staggered out an fell into the Potomac never to be seen again...lol
Useful idiots. They are too used to Saudi money to realize that Americans want an opposition party, not a party frightened of the NYT and who rubber stamps the liberal/sharia agenda
He's the people's choice. It is time for the Republican party to stop being the 90 pound weakling getting sand kicked in his face by the 250 pound Democrat party bully.
This nomination is needed. The Republican party seriously needs to buff up and stand up to the socialist bullies.
The elephant graveyard.
If it is dead it is their fault.
Well, the Dubliner's just across the street from DC's Union Station. Lots of train tracks there...
I’ll bet the Democrats mourned a lot harder at this “wake” than the GOOBers did. The DNC has lost one of its most important tentacles it uses to choke the life out of Americans.

The news about the DNC emails just gets better and better. A few things we are seeing so far: 1) Ted Cruz asked the DNC for $ to help fund his delegate fight in Cleveland. 2) Jake Tapper of CNN colluded with the DNC. They gave him questions to ask his interview guests. 3) Chuck Todd of NBC was also colluding with the DNC and put pressure on others at the network to go easy on Democrats at the DNCs request. 4) The New York Times co hosted parties with the DNC. This is against the law by the way. 5) Hillary Clinton setup a slush fund through the DNC to launder donor money. 6) The DNC actively colluded with the media to work against Bernie Sanders.
Like I said this scandal touches all aspects of the media and the Democratic Party. Dont look for the MSM to report on it much since they are heavily implicated. Dont look for it to trend on Twitter because Twitter is also trying to hide this story. But its everywhere on Twitter now. And all 20k emails can be looked at on Wikileaks. The election is going to Donald Trump because of this. Its too big now for anyone to hide.

What, exactly, is it?
This almost sounds like a Black Mass. Did anybody jump up onto the bartop and take their clothes off?//
“He’s the people’s choice...”
Which is the point they are missing. The RNC has become a self-seeking entity that looks down upon it’s members and only gives lip-service to their values.
Trump won. They lost. Piss on ‘em all.
Rush is going to laugh his head off about this next week.
Should have held one of Cruz’s career.
