No.  What is happening right now is an in-your face to the RNC.  People are mad about Trump.  I'm mad about Trump.

But I'm not voting for the sonofabitch, and I'm continuing my #NeverTrump crusade.   But I can understand some blowing off steam tonight, so we'll make allowances for that.

The GOP and RNC bozos, not unlike the Trump mafia, are frauds. I'll have nothing to do with any of them.

I had a GOP candidate come to my door today. I asked if he was for or against Trump. He refused to answer. I said buy loser and closed the door.

You just smeared a lot of respectable, relevant people with that ad hominem, Arne.
Trump apparently turns EVERYONE who supports him into a nasty......

I don't know this Arne person but he is the one no longer relevant as he is in my Ignore box.

Ditto to a point. I'm not depressed, I'm slightly amused watching the game.

I will continue to call out anyone who goes against the Constitution, limited government, and individual freedom- no matter what letter is on their jersey.

Exactly, and let's say that Trump wins, he has already promised to compromise and deal so this is like the DC establishment pulling the 'see what happens when you rise up, we will rule either way...'.


A good reminder, William F Buckley warned us EXACTLY about this all the way back in 2000, even saying it would be Trump, even saying what theme he would use, and predicting it would destroy the Republican party as we know it.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/430187/william-f-buckley-donald-trump-demagoguery-cigar-aficionado

We are seeing that 2000 prediction play out in front of our eyes.

Buckley is, among other things, a prophet.  He definitely had Trump's number even back then.

Thanks, btw, for all of your help and information re: the convention process today.

@CatherineofAragon

He used to be a nice person who would never say something that nasty to a lot of respectable people.

Trump really does change people from nice to just plain mean.

And it seems to happen very fast.   I've never seen anything quite like it.

Looks like the alt right of twitter are celebrating about as expected.

Within the last hour I've been threatened with hanging, gassing, burned  alive and at least one possible gay sex act. Another volunteered to be my mohel and finish the job (I'm not Jewish) so I can't breed any more "Judenrats". Another threatened to deport me to Israel (Ok, it wasn't a great threat)

So, Trump, the guy who rode into Tombstone on a horse named "we need some new blood and change in Washington" with a head wind made up of anger at the political status quo of the establishment is the establishment's tool to beat down grass root conservatives seeking to take power from the dreaded GOPe?

What in the f#%}Inc world is going on here?

No one really knows who the bleep this guy is, or what he stands for, and we're about to nominate him as the GOP candidate.

A lot of things just became "no longer relevant" Arne.

That's not a good thing.

This is very, very true Luis.

While the GOP is no longer relevant to me, what has been made irrelevant of late is much larger than just my disassociation with a corrupt party in league with the Democrats.

The Constitution itself is no longer 'relevant'.

Christian Conservative Constitutionalists are no longer 'relevant'

Our religious heritage is no longer 'relevant'.

Grass roots activism is no longer 'relevant' (it was eradicated yesterday).

The Rule of Law is no longer 'relevant'.

Liberty itself is no longer 'relevant'.

Trump has made any opposition irrelevant and made everything about himself.

The only thing that is now relevant is the State and the Oligarchy that made it supreme.  Everything else has just been made irrelevant.

There is no civil recourse to this, because what is relevant is that these mobs and the state they have empowered will have their guns to your head and those of your children to impose it's will if you refuse to comply with whatever it decides you will do.

I've been reading the same and worse.

History teaches that mobs of morons like that who vaunt a man to be king often act out on their threats to do harm to those who will not seig-heil with them their dear leader.

Trump and his mobs of fanatics will prove to be the more immediate threat and danger to yours than anything coming from Hillary.

Congrats to the Trumpsters.

I was 100% wrong when I wrote here last year that he was on a vanity mission and wouldn't last.

Now, let's go beat Hillary!

I notice the reaction you're getting. How does it feel to be on the other side of the political divide?

I mean, how do you argue against an emotional tantrum? That's what baffles us who wish to see Hillary Clinton vanquished. At this point we have our nominee, and so #NeverTrump is beyond toxic to America's future -- they are deadly.
