maybe they should just kill themselves

You buy it

Fugg off Re[bTHUG leaders!

and go along for the ride, trying to pretend he's sane and the whole party is thrilled with him.

I guess it's nice to know the bar can be too low for some of them.

for a very large fee. Payable to the Democratic Senatorial Candidate's campaign of my choice.

Here's a teaser... It starts like this, just as you've been telling all of the minorities, women, handicapped, and underclass for the last 30 years, pick your a$$es up by your boot straps, close down the propaganda Wurlitzer, shut off the money pipes, sit down and shut up! Anything you do now is only going to make things worse. Take your licks. Get all of those highly paid consultants and think tanks you've got going to do some deep introspection and then when they fail fire their butts... (subscription applies after this)

I won't be waiting by the phone. Have your people call my people. Good day, sirs!

The Republican Party sold its soul a long time ago.

Judgement day is coming. Sucks to be them.

may not be as reliable as some would assume

I've only met two, but I have doubts they will make it to the polling booth

Loyalists can be visible and vocal, but that doesn't extend to all supporters

Once they hear he's losing big time they may not bother

I think there is such a thing.

Watch as many of them jump off. You may even see them start cracking jokes at his expense.

I am reading the vibe this weekend in Columbus, Ohio--not a Repub stranglehold but Trump-ets were vocal during the primary--and the feeling I get is that he's universally seen as loney, not many are vocal anymore. Even my facebook has been rendered Trumpless the last few days.

We need to keep on our game for sure--but Trump is on a deep hole--to make an understatement.

Trump operatives are few on online message boards now

Only GOP operatives trying to influence Senate seats are vocal

You nailed the term. Bandwagon Voters. People who rarely vote or never
voted before. If the GOP harnesses their wagon to Trump they may not
have the horses to complete the journey

because there is NOTHING "nonthreatening" about the pukes.

"We know Trump is a hateful, racist, misogynist, xenophobic idiot, but we're stuck with him. Can't anybody feel sorry for us?"

Hell, Ryan's plans are scarier than Trump's in a lot of ways.

So, by all means, put that plan on the table and let the voters decide which is more insane: the guy with no plans and a hot stripper wife or the guy who has lots of plans to get Medicare, Social Security and further turn the billionaires loose.

Please proceed. Sounds like a spendid strategy.

save the 2020 election cycle.... that should be their concern!

The 2018 elections are midterms. But Bernie Sanders is running for reelection in that one. So it might be good to have him out there actively campaigning and even more personally motivated. Because the Democrats' downfall is the midterm elections - when fewer of us bother to show up.

THAT has to change. Otherwise, any gains we'll be able to make this year will be wiped out. And turned on their ear. Just as what happened in 2010. We were lucky to get the Affordable Care Act on the books before 2010. Afterwards, having lost the House that year, our President couldn't move anything farther forward. We need BOTH houses of Congress to get anything really meaningful done. Although if we do get the Senate back, a President Hillary Clinton can fill that empty Supreme Court seat, and maybe replace another justice. It'd be safe for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to retire, for example. She'd be replaced with another liberal.

The presidential nominee and the congressional incumbents and/or first-time office seekers.

The coattails effect—U.S. President and U.S. Senate—for applicable, scheduled states has been a rate of about 80 percent for same-party carriage. This has been applicable at least with the last three presidential election years—2004, 2008, and 2012.

There is no Republican politician, dealing with an election here in 2016, who can escape Donald Trump.

Trump will come out and trash it all, while continuing to do what he does best, make an ass out of himself, and the republican party!

It's not going to make a lick of difference to the tens of millions of people who have been deliberately singled out and named as the enemy. Ever again.

The bigger risk is that Republican politicians, professional politicians willing to change any stance for a shot at the big-time, will simply try to infiltrate the Democratic Party, instead. That's our problem, now.

GOP economics never appealed to voters, they won with racism and "God".

touting an agenda of tax breaks for the rich is a no starter.

I and just about everyone on DU have been laughing about this since Super Tuesday. They are only just now concerned about it. No wonder why they have trump. If they were actually smart, they would not have run any of idiots they did. They would have promoted oh, wait. that was the best of their lot.

Ths solution is always for someone else to change.

I have a vehicle with two recalls that my local dealers refuse to fix.

This is who they are, they must think we're all stupid, they just don't want to lose, if they thought they could keep their seats by backing him, they'd do it.

they own that POS.

... and rightly so, for what they have done and for what they've refused to do.
