Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan would put a leash on Donald Trump if he were the President?

Nobody really believes that, do they?

The majority of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, would be at his beck and call. For fear that he would campaign against them, they would do whatever he wanted.

It is a scary and dangerous moment in the history of our nation. It seems that Republicans have given up on America. Their primary concern is to win the White House and let the chips fall where they may. They understand what is at stake but they don't seem to care?

Those Republicans that think they can control Donald Trump once he is in the White House are living in a fantasy world. I fear that their world and our world is about to change drastically and not for the best.

We can urge people to get out the vote but that is a big job when the media promotes vulgarity and follows the vulgarian over the cliff.

wins, we will likely see America filled with violence and war within, not to say the least of which will also happen to international relations.

He is the most divisive character we have seen in a very long time that has a chance to win the White House.

courted the Tea Party crazies, figuring they would be able to control them? That worked out well for them.

It's just pay of their continual embrace of the "Enemy of my Enemy" canard.
