RIP to the Republican Party

Watching the republican candidates mud wrestle this year, I feel kind of sad. It is kind of like watching someone drink themselves to death. All but the Right knows where this is going to end. We saw the same thing happen to the democrats in 1968.
 
Rest In Peace To The Republican Party

The Republican Party, known by its nickname as the Grand Old Party, died on March 15, 2016. It was 162 years old. The party, born in the strife of the 1850s, succumbed to internal strife, sources said.

The GOP had been suffering from hopeless internal divisiveness brought on by multiple sectors internally all claiming to be the “real conservatives” and no one ready to agree on a unifying theme. The party stopped breathing because of demographics that were stacked against it and its inability to adjust to a different America demographically, culturally, and having a worldview that didn’t recognize new global realities.

What accelerated its demise, however, was the consistent victories and accumulation of delegates by real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump. Party sources said that Trump was able to exploit fears of white Americans who could not adjust to a changing America. One Trump supporter told us that “We grew up in an all-white America with Christian values. We look around and see immigrants, Muslims, people who are just not like us.” Others cited Supreme Court decisions that granted gay Americans the right to marry and legislation that expanded healthcare coverage to millions of previously uninsured Americans.

Party officials made last ditch efforts to revive the dying party but primary voters granted Trump victories in key states like Florida, Illinois and North Carolina. Given that Trump ran a campaign against party officials, eschewed the services of GOP policy elite advisors, ignored the role of campaign consultants, and—according to many party leaders—most likely did not believe much (if any) of the things he was saying, any effort by GOP establishment to stop Trump was doomed before it really began.

“How do you deny the nomination to someone who actually comes to the party’s convention with the most votes? Are we a party that respects votes or a party that bows to its elites?” said one Trump supporter.

But several of those party elites reiterated that “We just cannot go into this general election with a nominee who attacks Hispanics, Muslims, foreign nations, women and more.” Others noted that they simply cannot support Trump as a Republican candidate. Ironically, sources said, the very group—notably Millennials—who were not necessarily enthusiastic about likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would probably raise their intensity level to vote against Trump.

In short, according to GOP officials, “We had a choice to either accept Trump as our nominee or fight his nomination. Either way we lose.”

The GOP leaves behind millions of supporters identified as “real conservatives,” angry whites who just could not adjust to change.

Calling hours will held in Cleveland July 18-21.

I may be dead wrong about this, especially since Hillary Clinton is a damaged candidate and the GOP has strong state parties that control the majority of state governorships and legislatures.

But after March 15, it appears that the GOP is heading towards some serious bloodletting. There may be some efforts to sit down and “make deals” with Donald Trump, but he has said a lot of things about a lot of people—and those statements are simply not going away.

Both parties are a mess. Look a the Democrats, their front-runner is under criminal investigation and is still getting hell from an avowed Socialist. And the GOP has a true conservative that is losing to a guy who five minutes ago was a bleeding heart, far-left winger .

Holy crap.
 
Trump will revitalize the Republican party and turn it into the Working American Man's party.
Uh-Huh, complete with drunken brawls, pissing on the floor and the occasional sexcapades with cousins... I'm sure the 329 million citizens who don't bother to sign up will enjoy the spectacle. :rolleyes:

Meanwhile back on Earth, the three ring circus of American Politics continues to be ring mastered by a Clown and a Criminal .....

R.I.P. Democratic Party

The Democratic Party that we know doesn't exist anymore. It's been replaced by Socialism, Communism, and Political-Correctness run amok. It's now called the Progressive Party, better known as the Demagogue Party. Progressives are believers of Keynesian economics, which uses government spending as a driving force in the economy. It also believes that government knows better than the private sector. Total hogwash. The government is too bulky and inefficient to wipe it's own ass much less run a complex economy properly. Oh, here's another important bit of knowledge. Progressives brought Jim Crow laws to the North. So essentially, Progressives believe in segregation and are racist to the core.


"Today, self-styled progressives are wont, with considerable abandon, to label as racists those who object to their attempts at social engineering. They would do well to rein in their rhetorical excesses and curb their enthusiasm for the administrative state — for the Progressives of yesteryear, on whom they model themselves, really were racists in the precise and proper sense of the term, and in formulating public policy they were true to their principles."

Hillary can't use the excuse that somebody else did it. She attempted to cover up her activities by destroying her emails, which were State Department property. Doesn't matter if anyone else had a private server before. None of them tried to cover up what they were doing. So, just this alone is what they call "Obstruction Of Justice". A felony. 5 years. It all depends on how many counts she had....we could be talking about a very long sentence. I haven't even mentioned the penalties for mishandling classified information.

No it wasn't, but then again I stopped after the first sentence.

I think the gop will just have to nominate Cruz if Trump doesn't have the delegates to win on the first ballot.

since you are a bern supporter, plz take time to click the link in my sig line.

might want to revamp your idea of a freak show after.

I don't click on any links I don't recognize; especially when it's prefixed with such flowery words :scared1:
then stay ignorant of the facts, bern supporters need to stay that way

that's what you got out of my reply? ya, that's the ticket. LOL! m'k.

who are you supporting trump, cruz, or Kasich?
bernie

I want him to win and win in a big way.

His leftist ideas are so fucking bad, so horrid, so damaging, that Americans will see just how fucking dumb and gullible you people are and finally come to the conclusion that DC can't be fixed and finally decide to destroy it and start over.

I have no disillusions about Bernie, thumber. i'm looking at the bigger picture & you ain't looking past your nose.
looking to destroy America slowly, with your idiocy, isn't big picture

Bernie has an even longer shot at getting elected than W. getting re elected for a 3rd term as prez... But he sure got a lot of attention & pushed the old gal to the left on some issues. I want him to stay in until California's primary... then he'll concede. Unlike what's going on with the 'republicans', I think the Dems have a much at getting elected than the clusterfuck on the right.

A contested convention with a lot of republicans sitting it o-u-t is in the cards
LOL LOL LOL...
