    The TEA party is a perverse hate machine?

    May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one

    There is no guarantee of 270, regardless of which GOP candidate we nominate. However, IF Kasich backs Cruz and delivers Iowa, and Bush/Rubio back Cruz and deliver Florida, it's doable. If they get pissy and go home with their tiny balls, then that means they don't want to win, which some of us suspect they'd prefer doing.

    Long story short, we tried it their way twice and it didn't work. Now it's time they tried it OUR way.

    According to the DNC and the leftist media? Yes.

    I'm not seeing Kasich, Rubio or Bush assisting anyone but themselves.
    I think Bush has already mentioned Third Party.

    GOP will "win" big this fall, I was a Trump supporter at first. Not anymore, he may revive the Republican Party but not in a way I wish to see. Cruz is looking like a long shot, but he is our best choice at this point, Rubio would be the second best choice. The democrats have no chance in hell of winning against either of the top 3 Republicans.

    Yeah, well, when fed.gov stops subsidizing legalized murder with my tax dollars, then this republican will stop beating the dead horse (or is that beating the dead fetus?) of abortion. Wanna kill your child in utero? Go for it, but pay for it your own damn self.

    Your government is going to start subsidizing the murder of you personally if we don't right the ship with electable (and I mean that not in a Romney sort of way) candidates.

    Get a GOP nominee on TV saying "I support a woman's decision to abort her baby and won't sign any legislation making it harder to do so". Who gives a shit if he is lying? The left does it all the time about guns. Why don't we about abortion and homos?
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    GOP victory or not- nothing is changing in reality, just slowing a bit, maybe.

    Here is something I wrote a Year or so ago thinking about where we've been headed and looking back in time at similar moments in known history.

    "The world has moved on.

    Liberty is dying- all but dead; existing in the minds of few. Faith is considered evil. Up is down. Right is wrong.

    There is a way to stop the madness- but too many folks (Even those who understand and "get it") are complacent, have too much to "lose" and just want to be comfortable whilst watching the death of a Republic and the death of what is Just and Right.

    The ship is sinking. It's going down. We are all on it. Some are actively trying to sink it, others are trying to stop it, and still others are too comfortable and have too much to lose to do anything about it. Just enjoy the downfall and embrace the chaos that is soon to usher us into oblivion.

    And here I am sinking along with you all going mad not being able to do anything myself other than have a tiny voice- easily ignored and discarded as "Radical" or "racist" or "____phobic".

    Nothing will change enough to stop the ship from sinking until those that have the ability and the responsibility- spill blood to affect change. That is a fact. A hard one to accept. Even harder to act upon- but a fact nonetheless.

    So we shall go down in history as those with the means to go out with a bang, but instead chose to go out with a whimper. The last guards of the Republic leaving post and laying down.

    An assisted suicide of the greatest magnitude.

    The world has moved on."

    We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

    I agree. They'd rather watch Hillary win the nomination and spend the next 4 year blaming Trump, when in fact it was THEIR failure to coalesce around the GOP nominee and support the party.

    See how that works?

    If they backed down on abortion, I would not vote for them

    And on the other side of that us Trump coming out with Palin as a supporter and Cruz doing the same with Glen Beck, WTF are these guys thinking?

    Really?, Because I'm agreeing with Eurodriver on this one, I don't care what they say to get elected. We are at a serious crossroad and if one vote loses this to Hillary, we're screwed.
