In 1957, during 6th grade civics, the teacher made an off the cuff statement that there was little difference between the two parties, the dems and the pubs. I so wanted, all those years since then to discern a true difference. Now with Ryan and MdConnell, what she said 60 years ago has become prophetic.

I remember in 1992 when Pat Buchanan ran for the GOP nomination (or was it 96?) and he said that there wasn't a dimes worth of difference between the two parties. That really ticked me off and I thought he was nuts. Ha! I don't think even Pat knew how right he was.

She was right 60 years ago too. Reagan was an anomaly; we squandered the chance to make his revolution permanent when we let the 1996 nomination go to Bob "Let's Make a" Dole (if not earlier).

Rather than vote for a ‘Rat I simply will not vote.

This is the golden opportunity for the trump train. line up a ticket of those running in the primary that will commit to the Trump agenda, then promote them into office.

The Trump folks need an operation separate from the GOP. I sent money to support Trump. I coded my ID in a way that I would know if it transferred. Then the GOP was asking me for donations and to renew my membership. They got my name and address off of the Trump list. I called them saying, I had never been a member of the GOP and was not registered as GOP. Then the next request for funds was sent back with a note that they would not get one dime from me until I began to see GOP leaders supporting the Trump agenda

are words I live by.

I send funds monthly to the Trump campaign
