It won't outweigh the possible downsides by a considerable margin in my opinion, Bob.

I think Donald Trump could be a disaster for the United States...in fact, I think it almost certain he WOULD be a disaster for the US.

But you would think the same about any Republican.

What a complete idiot! What is it about McConnell that he has Zero self-control and cannot stop himself from opening his mouth and saying stupid things. Its not as if the GOP is imploding on its own.....they don't need McConnell to inflict further damage on the party.:doh

Drop him from what? Are they carrying him? Are they going to drop him from a building? From Trump Tower?

Someone needs to get McConnell under control, because he's out of it. As Lindsey Graham said recently, "My party's gone batsh*t crazy."

I feel the American people need to wake up and take a close look at the GOP and DNC because clearly both are working against the people this election cycle. Sanders and Trump both of which have a large amount of support among the people are essentially being rejected by the establishment. Those critters in Washington need to remember that it is we The People that should be making this decision and not them. When they so blatantly work against the will of the people in their own self interest we need to stand up and make it clear that they are in Washington to serve us and not themselves.

You've hit the nail on the head. These politicians think that they are the king makers, not us, the voters. We knew they thought this, we knew they arranged for certain people to get elected (Bush), but we've never seen it THIS obvious before, when things weren't working out their way.

This is scary sh*t, the way the GOP powers that be are acting. They really think they control the country. Makes me wonder if we are able to elect who we want, even if the GOP power brokers disagree. I wonder. How far gone is our country, since the Citizens United Supreme Court decision (which is precisely what has given them this power.....all that money NOT from voters, but from special interests, making the voters almost irrelevant).

Could be this behavior will backfire and cause a wave of voting for Trump. America loves an underdog. But wait, the GOP has a plan for that eventuality: a brokered convention, where THEY crown the nominee of their choosing.

Your idea of normal varies from the normal. Los Angles normal isn't fly over country normal.

The crazy one is Lindsey Graham. He is just a lost Democrat.

Aw, come on, now. Who doesn't like Lindsey Graham? He's a pretty nice guy, even if you don't agree with him.

Besides, it's pretty much the consensus in the country that the Republican Party has gone awry. It's divided among several strong groups. It's getting pretty weird, and yes, crazy.

The limits serve to help the establishment by limiting what people may directly give to a candidate. It also serves to invent more paying industries that wouldn't otherwise exist in order to run a political campaign and more importantly fleece the rich and well healed of their money. All one needs to do is look at Jeb Bush's campaign to see this is true. Its a big shell game that is exceptionally machiavellian in nature.

He's a douche bag jackass. There's a Justin Bieber song that describes him perfectly. Something about his mama not liking him and she likes everyone. I don't what its called, it's a Bieber song, little girls and teenagers listen to it, not even real music as far as I am concerned. That song fits Gramnisty to a tee.

As far as the Republicans being nut's, there not. Its a revolt and this is what they tend to look like. They want to put a boot so far up the establishments backside that the establishments great grand children will be tasting shoe leather.

Too bad, because he's going to be gone. Either way. If Trump becomes the nominee and POTUS, McConnell gets his walking papers his next election. If the party robs him of the people's vote, or goes to war with the people's choice for candidate - he's gone his next election. We're making a list at this point. Who stood against the membership, their days are numbered. There will be other republicans to put in the old guard's place.

See, the party has the down ticket state stuff sewed up only because local politicos actually show they're doing something. National republicans don't. That's about to change.

He wasn't talking specifically about Trump, I think. He's talking generally. Bob Dole has said something similar, as has Jeb Bush. Reagan couldn't get nominated now. That's how crazy the party has gotten. They're talking about Cruz, McConnell, the tea party. Extremists. Trump's the opposite of that.

The party's split among several strong groups who are all trying to take control of the party. The tea partiers (extreme right economically & ideologically - this would be Cruz and Rubio), the Evangelicals (extreme right socially, but not in other ways - Rubio again, although the religious seem to be supporting Trump more), the old guard (Jeb Bush, Reagan, Dole), and maybe others.

He has always struck me as a lying two faced weasel, I have to admit I have never liked or found any redeeming features about the man and fail to see what apparently South Carolina does.

I consider Rubio as part of the establishment. Reagan would be elected and in a heartbeat he was a natural and appealed to most people even if they disagreed. Problem today is that the closest we have to Reagan policy wise is Cruze, but lets be honest here, Cruze is not very likable and strikes people as creepy or weasel like. Rubio is likable and charismatic but lets face facts the man betrayed his voters, people are not easy to forgive that sort of thing.

Most people I have talked to about Trump knows what he is and that's a shark. They know they will get bit eventually. But they also know he will scare the hell out of the establishment and bite the hell out of them. This election year isn't really about getting things done, its about payback, reprisal for what has been done or in the Republicans case, what hasn't been done. People want heads on sticks. At least those I have spoke to do. I personally don't. I'd rather have Ben Carson but is a pipe dream now.

Yep. I think this is proof that Trump isn't making any backdoor deals to play ball and that he's actually serious about doing something re: illegal immigration and stopping our bad trade deals.

So you expect Trump to crown himself King and not have to worry about working with Congress? You can be damn sure he won't get any help from Dems so if the GOP deserts him he's a lame duck from the start.
 
Re: Mitch Mcconnell says republicans will drop Donald Trump like a hot rock if he win

McConnell will change his spots quickly and start squealing for an up-or-down vote on a Trump USSC nominee, as he did last decade for Bush/Cheney. DEMs will filibuster and return McConnell's current gambit .

No...not a disaster.

I think almost any Democrat would be a better bet for our nation than any Republican...but Kasich made lots of sense. on many issues.

But Trump would be a disaster for our country...JUST AS HE IS BEING FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The problem with crying "Godwin's Law!" every time the name 'Hitler' is mentioned is that such allows people like you to ignore when the comparison really is appropriate - I mean, forcing all Muslims in America to register with the government? Really?

It's called executing the law when undocumented immigrants are expelled. Should the US government prosecute terrorists? Wouldn't that be considered 'acting like Hitler'? How about the US government fulfilling a quota of minority students entering colleges? Like Hitler?

Yes, "papers, please". Funny how this was never needed under ANY of our other presidents - even Reagan, who, instead of going the "papers, please" route, decided on amnesty...and gained the support of the Hispanics for a generation, to boot.

But now that we're in the middle of the longest stretch of private-sector job growth in American history, the slowest growth of government since Eisenhower, and the lowest federal tax burden on individual citizens since Truman, well, NOW we have to go door-to-door demanding, "papers, please".

There was once a time when a government did this...and the ones they sent to do it really were "jackbooted thugs". But I guess since it would be Trump and the Republicans ordering it, well, that means it's all okay, doesn't it?

A guy once said, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross." The guy who said it is still alive...and I bet he's hating how right he seems to have been when he said it.

reinoe said:
We can stop people from coming to this country using any criteria including religion. It's an ugly policy but legal. Far better than our current policy of allowing immigrants before we can even do a proper vetting process.

Illegal Immigrants don't have Constitutional rights. Many Americans support Arizona's controversial law that required identification during arrests and traffic stops to determine a person's citizenship. That can and should be implemented and the only reason why Arizona did it is because the feds refuse to do their jobs.
Click to expand...

And where, exactly, is it in the Constitution that a person walking down the freaking street - not even going to vote, but just walking down the street - is required to carry proof of citizenship? And don't try to tell me that it's only during "arrests and traffic stops" because Arizona's law allowed the cops to stop people "if there was a reasonable suspicion to think they weren't citizens"...which is so broadly-worded that it could AND WAS used to stop anyone who didn't "look American".
