After Donald Trump was elected I gave him a chance, I also gave the GOP and Trumps minion army a chance. The last year+ has been a struggle to say the least as story after story and problem after problem come about while Republicans pretty much ignore it and his TrumpHumpers defend it...I am done.
Very soon we will hear from Comey about extremely nasty stuff and this will continue unabated. Comey will be attacked for sharing and called a liar or worse, regardless of his history of service, honesty and skill. Already websites are created and positions fortified in preparation for the battle these people will engage in....it is sickening and I am finished hoping for civility or intelligence.
Do your worst people and sink with the burning ship, just don't be caught off guard when the rest of America places you in the garbage.

Very glad to see you saw the light of reason. Let us hope more Americans join you.

I'm to the point that I really no longer care about my nation.

We were warned by IKE about the MIC, and the insidious nature of this cancer.
Our nation has failed to heed IKE's warning & we have gravitated to the entire concept of the MIC, corporatism, and government aka American Nazism.
This cancer has spread through our nation slowly, deceitfully, and has even been supported by religious elements.
We have become a nation that reveres weapons of war, strong arming the planet into doing our will, all while we expect a different form of karma to settle upon US.
We are a very foolish nation that has been lead astray by our so called leadership, and over the course of many decades.

We could have utilized the untold trillion$ upon trillion$ to build up our nation from within, to educate our own, to build our infrastructure, to build a real future for our progeny, yet we have allowed the very few in places of power to rob US of that.
Instead we have wasted our treasure on wars that we should have never been a party to, fostered enumerable alliances with shady dictators & thugs, sent our DEFENSIVE forces around the globe to project power & influence, and yet we wonder why many hate US?

We are a ship of fools. If our Founding Fathers knew what this land has become they would return from their graves & bomb US into the oceans.

The only thing you NEED to be done with is believing the crap the Trump haters have been trotting out for the last 2+ years. This Comey crap is just the latest and there will be more...but it's all crap.

Why not stick around and help take your Party back?

Millions of Republicans will be doing just that. Don't you want to be part of it?

comey lost all credibility during the entire Clinton deal.
he even admited it in his book.

he very likely along with lynch face obstruction of justice charges for purposely letting clinton off the hook.
Comey even admitted that if anyone in the FBI would have done that they would have been in major serious trouble.

Primarily because it pissed me off when "Republicans" decided I am a RINO and dismissed what the party once was. Now this has been institutionalized and corrupted to the point a person like Trump can become its leader and face. Basically the party no longer wants me and I no longer want it...this seems to be relatively common and the attitude of TrumpHumpers most certainly does not help. Many in this thread will say don't let the door hit you on the way out....I wont, and I'll even hold it open for all those behind me.

Hell....I'm probably going to vote Dem in a presidential election for the first time in my life just to spite.

if your heart tells you to vote D, vote D

Anyone that votes for a man or woman just because they have a letter next to their name, isnt a voter, they are just a follower, being led by the billions of dollars being fed into the political machine

Pick the person that most exemplifies your code...your desires...where you want to go...and to HELL with what anyone else thinks about it

D, R, I....i have voted for all three over the last three + decades....more R than the other two....i am after all a conservative...

But more than voting, get involved....and see if you can get better candidates running....that is where we will make inroads

We need to break the molds of career politicians that promise big, and deliver little

Repeated..... Just because it makes sense....

If you vote a straight ticket you have become the uneducated voter Jefferson was concerned about...

I was going to give Trump and the GOP a chance. Really.

But that honeymoon evaporated as quickly as Trump nominated his Cabinet and White House staff.

Trump put forth a slew of slimy-creatures, dedicated to destroying the very departments they were now in charge of, and the cowardly GOP confirmed these abominations.

Hmmmm. . . . must depend on WHO is attacking Comey:

 
You are part of the Deep State. Quit attacking America!

Until a year of two ago, conspiracy devotees on the Right never heard of The Deep State. Now they wear it like a favorite hat.

There is no "taking your party back." Trump is the purest manifestation of conservative principles there is today.

"Principals?" You have to care about someone other than yourself to have any kind of "principals."

Trump is a populist President, pure and simple, beholden to no belief or political party. A carnival barker with a bank account.

It doesn't serve my interests to say this, but why would you vote Democrat if you are a Republican? Seems to me there are plenty of real Republicans eager to run in the 2020 primary. I wouldn't vote for any of them, but I'm not any kind of Republican, RINO or otherwise.
I'm quite sure we have not heard the last of Ted Cruz. Seems to me that he was the favorite among hard right Republicans until the carnival barker showed up.

Nothing you've said contradicts the claim that everything about him reflects conservatism today.

Also, a princiPAL is the dude who runs a school. You'll remember this because a principal is your PAL.

We used to get paddled in my day. He wasn't my PAL then, but he is now.

A populist is guided by at least one principle, namely what is good for the common man. Trump is guided by pure self interest, or what he imagines is his self interest.
In this he is not at all an embodiment of conservative principles. Actual conservatives have abandoned him. Some are working against him.
A television ad is running now by a Republican group calling for the protection of Mueller's investigation. David Brooks has a column in this morning's NYTimes on the conservative rebellion titled "A Renaissance on the Right".

Republicans have pretty much given up the party to....whatever it is now and are unlikely to put up anyone worth supporting. I am now officially registered independent and "Might" vote Dem if they have someone good. The GOP will not even consider a Huntsman anymore...let alone Kaine. They are actually too conservative and not corrupt enough.
