Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of crazies.

Kasich is being readied to sail in as the great redeemer and he's as creepy as any of them except for the more polite patina. Maybe a little less violence-provoking but I have to say, I almost prefer the Repugs out in the open, revealed, with none of their usual disguises (Jeb! Rubio. Reagan.)

That spells chaos and electoral trouble.

Hope so.

and that state runs voting machines (from Diebolt or Diebold?), the CEO of that company has been known to tell Repubs, that he'll deliver Ohio. That's why turdblossom was so sure that Romney would win Ohio on Fake News back in 2012, hell he still has the receipts.

He appears to of hedged out a backroom deal...just a feeling I get. He looks like the cat that swallowed the little bird. He has been laid back, smug during the entire campaign while the others trash one another....just can't put my finger on the whole plan yet....

behind the scenes in the 90's to smear the Clintons. The irony is, those same people are still at it including Norquist. Their job is to de-legitimize any Democrat who reaches the White House. I'm embarrassed as an American for the way Republicans have treated President Obama.

but some don't wanna here it. if you don't know it's out there how do you come up with a response??

NO democrat will ever be viewed as legitimate as POTUS because they spend 8 years of non stop, daily fits of outrage like 3 year olds, and the dumb ass people of this country either indulge it or are so removed they want to do the "they are all the same" stupidity.

People want to say it was about BHO being black, and certainly they have inherent race baiting in the mix that came to full bloom, but I have 1,000 posts here asking if people were alive during the 90s, because I still have hard memory of being absolutely mystified at how much the Rs hated and vilified Bill Clinton.

Again, I just don't understand why this country lets them get away with their petulant bullshit.

In the 90s, Clinton was just using his concerns about terrorism as a way to deflect from the end of the world scandal of a blowjob. They repeatedly talked down terrorism during his tenure.

Bush II slept through the first 8 months of his presidency, saw 9-11 happen on his watch, they blamed Clinton and spent 7 years bullying the country over terrorism, and said 1,000,000 times, over and over screamed YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHEN TROOPS ARE IN THE FIELD!

That ended, completely, that phrase never to be repeated again in January 2009, and they have spent the last 7 years out and out engaged in sedition against BHO.

Fucking assholes ...

on the part of the Repugs, but that largely is met with indifference (on our side).

Perhaps this is one of many reasons why these frauds continue to plague what remains of our democracy.

Trump is the utterly logical conclusion of that party's mentality; thought it'd be hard for them to displace Sick Dick
as their paragon, but celebrity value always wins the day.

Trump is simply out and out saying what they have been whistling and winking at for decades now.

May we see it sooner than later.

I'll drink to that (I wish we had a smilie for wine)

- Karl Rove who has been totally ineffective at anything
- Scum bags like the Koch Bros and Sheldon Adelson (although Adleson & Trump look like they have the same hair stylist)
- Darth Vader Chaney
- the Bush Family
- Eric Cantor & Boehner are gonzo
- Hopefully Mitch O'Connell and Paul Ryan are next (ugh I loathe those guys)

Who else or who have I missed????

eom

Darth Vader actually fought in the wars he started.

Because they are gasping for air.

Been "lurking" before President Obama was president, but joined recently to show my support for Bernie.

Anybody who spends any time in GDPrimaries knows the Democratic Party is a two party system in itself.

I'm not a member of ay organized politcal party; I'm a Democrat.

--Will Rogers (1879-1935)

But I wouldn't be surprised if the Democratic party ends up in the same crap hole as the Republicans.

I'm stealing that line.

I'll only dream of their departure when they don't control so many state legislatures and so many states have republican governors.


Peace

. . .and read that Grover Norquist, having been missing for several days, was found at the bottom of the Anacostia or Potomac river.

and once again,

These beasts have a way of adapting and surviving even as they get weaker but more toxic.

I suppose Trump winning would be the fastest route to the end. Problem is, it might look a bit like the process by which classical fascism also sped the way to its end.

the great death throes of a massive beast, and they are not dead yet either.

armed with automatics and grenades. Lots of grenades.

every time.

The Democrats had significant majorities in both Houses of Congress when Obama took office that were gradually pissed away during his tenure. The Republicans will have control of the House indefinitely due to the gerrymandering that went on after state legislatures across the country were lost in 2010.

Fuck, the head of the DNC is trying to whip votes to join with the Republicans to end consumer protection against predatory and discriminatory lending.

Every time that we hear about how the Republicans are in complete disarray, they end up falling into line to kick the Democrats in the teeth, and the response from the Democratic leadership is always to make concessions and lean further to right in order to appear "sensible."

dangerous in their ignorance.

The democratic party has taken over many of the causes the republicans used to push. It's pretty unbelievable when you think about it.

more appropriate vat for Grover.

Very appropriate for the dirty, well-used skank that he is.

...most unfortunate.

Perhaps we hold a national lottery to get to decide who gets to hold his skanky-assed head under?
That would take care of a goodly portion of the national debt.

in this totally insane Repukkkian primary is that the GodOffalParty is small in numbers...like 40% of US voters...But they represent the corporate domination of politics...They have the media to push the CIRCUS to number one on the Hit Parade...Since they have an Orange candidate who doesn't give a rat's patootie about the American citizens, The donors are paying loads of cash to the networks who constantly cover his middle-school antics...The show has long since ceased being funny.

What an absolute disgrace for the US...Here in Nova Scotia, maritimers don't understand how this clown show is possible, but it affords them plenty of laughs and conversation topics...

certainly from children for the 2%.

The Republican Party has never done a goddamned thing for the working man in this country!

The beauty of it is they brought it on themselves by nurturing and empowering the crazy base of their party.

If they have a brokered convention, Trump will break off and form a third party. His people will riot in the streets. People will be hurt. I don't want to rejoice over that at all.

As to the impending split in the party with some establishment suit against Trump each taking half the Republican vote and some Independents will lose them the election.

don't tell me, we're the only two commenters on this board that are old enough to get the connection of your comment???

The Trump supporters are so angry and so well armed that I anticipate that they will end up shooting it out with each other over petty differences. Such is the way of armed idiots.

This stuff ought to take care of it ...

I never stopped to think the saner Republicans would abandon that party to join this one and drag it rightward.

I always assumed they'd just disappear or the loonies would flee rightward into irrelevant independence where they came from before Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, Lewis Powell, and Fred C. Koch courted them into the conservative tent.

Beware the law of unintended consequences and be careful what you wish for.

Fuck the Republic party...but fuck their acolytes that have infested our party twice as much.

Like a chameleon, Trump will change colors once he has the nomination. The Republican establishment will come begging on its knees for forgiveness, Republican voters at large will celebrate the reunification of their re branded party and we will have a most formidable opposition to run against. The theme of the election will be "no more business as usual" and any Republican who does not jump on Trumps' coat tails will lose as will anyone else not running an anti establishment campaign.
Never underestimate the power of the opposition.

Although the POTUS nomination seems to be crap at the moment the GOP are not done yet. They have made enormous inroads into daily political life at many levels and they won't evaporate just because they don't win POTUS.

They have long term plans to steer and steal the vote in as many places and seats as they can. They have enormous financial reserves and plan to use it to take and keep seats at EVERY level of government. The Congressional seats they have gerrymandered, the state governor and local city mayors, judges, AG and prosecutors, county and city commission seats, school board seats, and who knows even dog catcher are in play and at risk.

They will not stop until they control everyday life right down to how school children pronounce American History, tie their shoes and salute the flag. They will not be finished until they can observe and control what each of us does on our own computers, phones and TV sets at any time. Which is to say nothing of what they plan for our bedrooms.

Oh no! They are most certainly NOT over!

"If they had any leadership", because they do not. There are no elder statesmen with authority and influence....and power. They are struggling with a mess of their own creation. Just as McCain sold his soul to try to get elected by choosing a pretty unknown woman as his running mate, they have welcomed anyone who would vote with them. Now they have a lot of ignorant, inexperienced and truly terrible people overwhelming anything good about the party. Serves them right.

He has long pulled strings behind-the-scenes and now the country is reaping the whirlwind because of it.

it's under the control of the Conservatives. They use the disaster of the other Party to bludgeon the Left.

The Democratic Party is split into two factions. One faction are the progressives that have long defined our Party. However, the Conservative Wing (or Third Way is you prefer) has the money, Citizens United, the corporate-media as well as Wall Street and therefore the power. Those among us that are suffering will not be helped by the Goldman-Sachs Wing of our party.

The Conservative Wing looks to disenfranchise the millions of progressives that are standing up for honesty and decency.

Republican policies caused the Great Depression and the GOP openly supported Hitler and Mussolini in the 1930s and they survived. If they can make it through that, they can survive Trump's failed run at the presidency.

Granted, the GOP was out of power for 20 years after they caused the Great Depression, which would be acceptable, in my book.

And, despite their national woes at the presidential level, they still control the House and Senate and most governorships and state legislatures.

What you said.
