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.
He's a fraud and a Liberal. That's who he is. The warning signs were allover his past, but there were significant numbers of people who just did not want to listen. When Crooked Donny loses to Crooked Hillary by a landslide, he'll blame those of us with principles, saying it is our fault for not joining him.

How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!

Yeah... ^^^ This.

We all knew the convention was a long-shot- As it has proven to  be.

I'm not depressed, or defeated - The simple truth is that my path has narrowed to exactly what we all saw coming.
I'll vote Castle this year, and Conservative down-ticket - Nothing has changed at all...
So yeah... now that I don't have a dog in the Republican hunt, I am free to point and laugh.
It isn't time for 'I tolja so'... That ain't till November and beyond.

@sinkspur

Actually, it's already time for a "I told ya so" moment!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I might vote for Trump, but he'll have to beg me for it.

Beg me and ask for forgiveness for being such a pr*ck during the primaries.

And give me ONE single solid positive reason for giving him my vote.

I don't see any of that happening.

Same here.  I'll bear no responsibility for electing either of these disasters.  That train can steam right on without me.
The sad part is that all those lemmings are going to blame the ones who didn't jump.

I'm watching the Royals.  They're losing 6-3.  I watched about 10 seconds of
Trump's daughter wax poetic about her womanizing father who once opined during an interview about the size of breasts she would have when she grew up.

Haven't seen a time, but my guess it will be late, after the prime time hours so the Trumpies can keep him out of the limelight.

Politics is fun and interesting, but nobody should be that impassioned that they let it affect their life. Get some other hobbies or interests. Face is that you're 1 in 350 million people. Impossible for one vote to change much.

Umm........... see my screen name??  I have LOTS of hobbies, including my profession, which is a joy.  I also love sports, and physical fitness, have four fascinating, brilliant children, and an amazing 40 year marriage.  And I am devoted to the LORD, who gives me strength.

That said, it doesn't change the fact that I was born political.  I was only 10 when JFK debated Nixon and I remember it well.  I have political buttons back to "I Like Ike."  It's been part of my very rich and varied life for 67 years, and losing what I thought I had is a blow, no matter what fraction of my life politics held.

But losing my country is even worse.  And now, I fear it is lost for good.............. or at least for the remainder of my life here on earth.

Please don't dismiss its importance in our lives.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I was impressed then.

I voted in Palm Beach county, Florida in the 2000 election.  Don't tell me that one vote doesn't count.

It does.

"Lock her up."

Since when do Americans advocate locking up their political opponents?

Don't you remember.....how the leftists all wet-dreamed about frog-marching Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld to prison?  I remember it well.

I have a funny feeling that Jr. will be running for president at some point in the future.

Well, considering the fact that they wanted every Republican behind bars for having broken no laws....and considering that it's Hillary that has broken laws....

we wouldn't BE imitating them.

We would merely be seeking justice.
