Where did I say that?

The party has been heading for the crapper for a number of years.  Like many, I stuck it out, hoping that the party would come to its senses and straighten out.  But after years-- YEARS! -- of listening to and falling for the same phony promises and lies, I've had enough.  I had some hope that Ted Cruz and others could turn the party around, but I've had to face the reality that nothing will change.  The party is infested with liberals and there is no one interested in getting rid of the vermin.  Trump promised to drain the swamp, but once he became president, that promise, like so many others, was forgotten.

So now I don't care what happens to the party.  It's very possible Republicans will lose their majority in either or maybe both houses.  If they do, they have no one to blame but themselves.  I refuse to waste my vote on them anymore.  I will neither cry nor rejoice when the party falls, but I also will not take the blame for its demise.  Instead I will hope that from the ashes a new party will emerge, one that will genuinely embrace conservatism.  It may take years of Democrat rule for people to get tired of them too.  But they will tire of them and will be ready to embrace real conservatism.

Ditto that!  And right atcha @Emjay.  Oh, you have to vote Trump.  No, I don't.  It won't be on me if Democrats take over.  I don't want to see the Republican party turn into a mob party of corrupt politicians (which it appears to be).  I am sure that some people thought Al Capone was great too!  But Trump isn't a Conservative and my hopes for the party is Conservative and I will vote accordingly.  Because that threat can go on forever as the Republican Party spirals into a free fall of corruption.

LOL!!

Party means nothing to me... I vote for Conservatives. Period. And Sasse is rock-ribbed by ANY standard.

If I must be affiliated with any, it would be Constitution party - and I would favor their candidate.

But I would have voted for Cruz. And I would vote for Sasse... Not because they are Republican, but in spite of it.

@Frank Cannon

Scratch them deep enough,and it ALWAYS boils down to they hate Trump because he beat Cruz or JEB. Or maybe even Cruz AND JEB,because I suspect JEB was the Cruz voter fallback candidate.

If they were all in on Evan McMuffin to take on Trump, they sure as shit wouldn't have had any problems with Jeb!.

Yeah whatever Frank... Every time you turn around, you are trying to tear down actual conservatives in the service of your orange Caesar.

Nevermind that the guy has TWO doctorates.
Nevermind that the guy, as CEO of Midland College, turned it all the way around and pulled it from the edge of bankruptcy.
Nevermind that he has a long, long record, one that proves his Conservative chops, and makes him as predictable in his service as is ever possible.

Just keep drinking that orange koolaid.

And yet again, I don't hate Tump.

Nope. When Cruz left the field, I went to the next best thing, and that was Castle.
I would have voted for Cruz. I would have voted for Paul. You might have talked me into Walker. But that was all the Republicans had to offer.

He loves me!  888heartkitty

Sasse has been Senator for less than 4 years.  It takes time to move up the ranks.  I don't know his record on passing legislation but I do know the GOP's record on passing legislation for the last 3.5 years.  It freaking sucks.

Half the Senate is rats...I'm assuming based on past posts by you, you don't like them.  Then there are many many many Republicans of the liberal persuation, like McCain, Flake, Murkowski, Collins, Graham, Corker, Gardner, Alexander, Isakson, Heller, Tillis, and Hoeven.  Then there is the the GOPe leadership that kisses President Trump's butt despite his mental deficiencies (you know these people like Cocaine Mitch), and then there are independent mavericks like Sasse, Toomey, Rubio, Lee, and Cruz.

Do you cheer anybody except the GOPe?  asking for a friend.

OK, I admit it Frank I am fixated on Trumps hair.  Its the only thing amusing about him.



He does an absolute terrific job at folding it over and spraying it into place.  I give him a 100% job approval rating for cover up.

Yeah well I am full out tired of you folks who are turned on by a bunch of empty words and Pocket Constitution waving that ends in ZERO results. May make you sleep better worshiping proven losers and ne'er do wells that accomplish nothing, but I like seeing people working again, earning more money and living a better quality of life when I hit the streets and look around. I suspect a large number of posters here confine themselves to their homes, never owned a business or actually get out into the cities a circulate among the filth and human debris to see what the hell is actually happening in the country. I do. Things look great thanks to the leadership we have in the White House today.

Because national socialists and New World Order freaks are SO much better, right?

Your party is bleeding Conservatives and has been for a decade. They stand for nothing Conservative. And they really never have.. So screw the GOP. I vote for Conservatives, period.

I get out Frank.  I work and pay my taxes.  I am still paying for dental/vision/healthcare for illegal immigrants.  I am paying for food, housing and phones for illegal immigrants.  I keep seeing Trump signing up my children to a government debt for the rest of their lives.  Crumbs is how far he has gotten on campaign promises.  And Hillary still isn't in the Orange jail jumper. 

It really was an eye opener at the inauguration when Trump honored the presence of Hillary and Bill while his daughters sat with them.

but I like seeing people working again,

Me too.  I wish Trump was good at it.

https://qz.com/1347200/the-jobs-created-under-trump-are-different-than-under-obama/

In Barack Obama’s last 16 months in office, the number of jobs in the US increased by 2.4%. In the first 16 months of Trump’s administration, jobs rose by 2.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The strong labor market under Obama turned into a strong labor market under Trump as healthcare and education continued to boom.

let me know if this is not correct.

That could be.  I know I pay more taxes to the government to buy good from outside the US.  Let me know if that is not correct.
