If you abandon conservative principles, the tent won't include conservatives.  It will just be another liberal party.

And just what do you think the Me Too Party of the last 1/4 of a century has been?
Members of the anti-Trump cabal: Now that Mr Trump has sewn up the nomination, I want you to know I feel your pain.

So how would you change the constitution to prevent an Obama from being elected again?  What litmus test would you add to Presidential elections? 



I wouldn't.  That's not the point.  The Constitution allowed the American people to indulge in left-wing idiocies, twice.  So the fact that the Constitution allows Trumpkins to dream of electing Trump is neither here nor there; it especially is not any guarantee that electing Trump won't be just as stupid as electing Obama was.

The cruel irony is that Churchill was absolutely correct:  democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time.

Maybe not to you. But I believe if you had an open mind, you would discover that many Trump supporters come from those same origins.

I attended the original march, in Washington, DC.  And the Glenn Beck/Sarah Palin meet at the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th.

I attended both of those, as well as 8/10. 

I'll be damned if I listen to any of these chicken choCkers tell me that Don Trump isn't bringing those hopes and dreams to fruition!

I have nothing but pity for the fools that "want to believe" that Saint Ted (of Alberta) or Little Marco (Fraud, Miami) are doing anything but taking marks for a wild ride.

It just wouldn't be honErable of me to let that pass.
