Republicans freaking out about scary Trump

I will take them seriously once I see their open letter about the Clintons' repeated sacrificing of our national security for their own interests.

Every time I see stories about GOP bureaucrats and politicians from previous administrations organizing to oppose Trump in a very public way (which effectively IS supporting Hillary) I think "RINO Stampede."

Yes, RINOs can be scary.  Luckily, they are near-sighted and not so bright.

The RINO stampede is driving me toward the Trump camp.

It's interesting that he may actually really be a nationalist and not on board with the globalist agenda. At first I thought he might be a hillary stalking horse, then I thought he was just trying to muscle in on the action but now I'm thinking he actually has some principles he believes in, nationalism being one.

That also means that if he becomes President he will probably unexpectedly die of a heart attack. They will just kill him.

Wishful thinking.

^^^^"Wishful thinking"^^^^

It appears that's all we have.

If they were actually worried, they could have coalesced behind the only candidate in the primary with a chance to beat him. That they chose not to tells me all I need to know about them.

[T.O.M.]

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have political candidates we could support, as opposed to having to choose the one we think will hurt less?

After a long and careful cogitation, in which I weighed the likely outcomes and the consequences thereof, it is my considered opinion that we are good and truly *expletive deleted*ed.

That's pretty much my view too, but at least with Trump it might be fun to watch.

Why did I initially read this as, "After a long and careful coagulation ..."?

The republic is dead on it's feet anyway. At least with Trump in the Oval office the screaming libtards might provide some entertainment while their heads implode.

Well...

yeah.

The deep state is backing a sickly 70 something year old absolutely corrupt woman. Obviously the Presidency isn't actually a position of true power but is just figure head position the deep state needs to be able to manipulate.

Months ago, I was joking with my brothers about voting for Trump "for the lulz".   That may not be so far off the point anymore.

After listening to Hillary in a youtube video going on in the background, I would vote for a pack of howler monkeys over HRC.  Her voice could strip paint and varnish.

As Clinton orated in her inimitably shrill, scraping-vagina-dentata-on-a-blackboard style for about an hour, I watched every scripted word and every sculpted facial expression until the carefully prepared mask began to slip and the utter horrid madness in her eyes became evident. It’s a madness she’s displayed again and again whenever the mask slips, which is often. She spoke with a hostile insincerity that was positively deafening. The rancid, yeasty stench of inauthenticity wafted from every clogged pore in her lumpy, pantsuit-swaddled body. I do not trust this woman, and I soberly invite you to share my distrust with me.

These are the same people that told us we had to shut up and vote for Romney/Ryan and McCain/Palin. I'm not a Trump fan and would have preferred a few others, but they are now showing who they really are by supporting Hillary by proxy if not directly. There is a possibility of a good SCOTUS pick or more than one with Trump; with Hillary that is zero.

Washington insiders speaking out against an outsider.  Makes my decision on who to vote for pretty easy even though I think Trump is a bonehead.

That situation has been endemic since shortly after the Republic was organized.  I like the idea of Trump in the Bully Pulpit just because he pisses off the entire world generally and the oligarchy particularly.  If you think about the fact that America is supposed to be an experiment with respect the to people being in charge, perhaps this might be the first of that in a long time.  Under the circumstances I hope it comes about.  He did, after all, swamp the other R candidates and outdrew the D's.  You might say the people are speaking a bit.

I'd vote Trump just to see the *expletive deleted*ing media start doing their job again.

The media is always anti-Govt when Republicans are in charge.

The SCOTUS picks are the main reason I favor Trump.  I at least see a chance of getting decent picks from Trump.  Hilary's SCOTUS picks wouldn't care one bit about the Constitution or Bill of Rights.  And the current SC is evenly balanced right now so adding more liberals would result in bad SC decisions for quite some time. 

Also, Trump is collecting all the right enemies to get my vote.  If he were actually some sort of closet liberal, I would expect many of these people to stay quiet.

George Washington hasn't run for President in over 200 years so it has been about that long since anyone had that choice.  Welcome to the Representative Republic.  

(and I am sure some of the Whiskey Rebellion guys would disagree with us about Washington.)

I've said ad nauseum that Trump is neither conservative or liberal or R or D.  He's a capitalist with a big ego.  He's played both ends against the middle for years.  Nothing wrong with that in my view.  He's actually been doing what the rest of us have wanted...not letting the government control our destiny.  He's gone around it and through it and used it for his benefit...which also seems to benefit those he employs as well as the businesses that he needs to service his empire.  He's not going to appoint a judge to the SCOTUS who is going to swing left because he knows that goes against his capitalist viewpoint.  The rest of the dreck they are throwing against the wall can go fish as far as I'm concerned.

I'll take any positive I can find in the current *expletive deleted*it show.
