A few weeks ago Rush was telling us the GOP is in good shape and to not worry about a crack up. Rush is all over the place but finally he is coming around to the truth.

The Globalist Oligarch Party (GOP) is toast if they don't start working on Trump's nationalist agenda ASAP.

Forget it noobie, I know what you’re hinting at. A third party will never make it

The Republican primaries will be a bloodbath for Ryan, McConnell, and all of the other RINOs.

They.Don't.Care. They.Got.Theirs.

Open primaries prevent, or hamper, a hostile take over. Sucks.

First you have to take over the GOP state committee, and then change the primary method. If you go to caucuses, at least everyone participating would be Republicans.

If Ruth Buzzy Geezer would hurry up and croak then Trump could replace her now. Then in ‘18 we could kick out the RINOS even if it would mean 2 years without control. As soon as(if) Dems take over old Ruthy girl will take a powder, bet on it.

Unfortunately I think Ryan and McConnell aren’t up for re election in 2018. Ryan is the new McCain and watch out for Rubio who is still bitter. The problem is, is that we the people, have to suffer through their petty personal problems with Trump. It’s all about them and not about us or what they promised when trying to get elected. Personal grudges are ruining the Republican party.

Paul Ryano is up for election every 2 years. Like every other member of the HOR.

Ryan is a US Rep - they have to run every two years.

I’m convinced that most of the Republicans are willing to sacrifice their political lives in even a vain attempt to stop Trumps agenda.

I agree with you. It's personal with them. They are jealous and embarrassed that Trump is showing up their laziness and ineptness.

Ohhh, I was only thinking of the 6 year terms of the Senate which is way too long. Ryan needs to go, but he will get out there and say all the right things like he always does and then do the opposite. I think this time, voters will be onto him.

After Romney and the GOP leadership dissed the Tea Party in 2012, I changed my registration from Republican to “unaffiliated”. My state allows independents to vote in either primary. I continued to vote a straight Republican ticket in 2014 and 2016.

Having seen the despicable behavior of the party leaders during the 2016 primary campaign, the 2016 general election, and now the betrayals since inauguration day I’ve determined I will no longer enable duplicity by voting for a RINO as the “least worse” alternative to a Democrat. If I cannot vote enthusiastically for a candidate in an election, I will not vote at all. If that means the Democrat wins, so be it.

Conservative voters in the Republican base behave like abused spouses. Our elected representatives pander to us at election time and then kick our teeth in as soon as they are back in office. By allowing them to take our votes for granted we enable their treachery.

While may feel good to think they can be removed through the primary process, realistically only a few have a chance of being unseated during the primaries. They have to be taught they will pay for their sins and the only way to do that is to stay at home on election day and allow the Democrat candidate to win. Seeing the betrayal on Obamacare and immigration, I no longer believe things will be worse with the democrats in power. Mainstream Republicans have become allied with Democrats to support the globalist agenda over the needs of the nation.

Fear is a great motivator. Republican legislators have no fear of their voter base. Democrats do.

Unfortunately, history has shown that third parties have caused Dems to win the presidency.

Exactly. The machine is our machine — it doesn’t belong to the GOP-e.

Now there must be plenty of qualified Patriots ready to replace the traitors in Congress — the Primaries are around the corner.

you wish.

but it does sound nice, doesn’t.

Despite you Quisling, Never-Trumper defeatism Americans are done with the GOPe. GFY you piece-of-shit, globalist cuck!

Yes, I meant what I said you worthless, cock-gobbling, globalist whore.

I was listening when this guy called in, this afternoon. And a lady called in yesterday, with pretty much the same comment. I couldn’t help but wonder if they were talking about Republican’s losing their seats to Dem’s or Incumbents losing their seats to someone else. Because I see that as something, more likely to happen. While I have no idea why the President would support Strange, in Alabama, it certainly seems like Moore can pull it off. If so, that could send shockwaves thru the GOPe/RINO/Establishment class, hopefully, and embolden others to challenge some of the lame excuses for Republicans/Conservatives.

You know the rats want to impeach President Trump. So if the Republicans lose seats and the rats gain the majority back again, they will impeach him and will remove him.

This is a warning, so I hope you do not sit the election out.

Absolutely not sitting out. I just think that more than a few incumbents could/should be primaried. And hopefully, with good results. I think the Dem’s are gradually, and at an every increasing rate, going off the deep end. As much as I hate ANTIFA/BLM, they seem to be forcing the Left to get even more insane. Which means good things for the “Right”. I’d just like to see a few, if not all, of the RINO/GOPe types gone.
