@sneakypete >>In Previous elections, however, The GOP has discarded candidates as unfit for far less, rejecting them out of hand, in search of a candidate capable of occupying the moral high ground. <<
I'm calling BullBush on that one! Ever heard of anyone named Bush or McLunatic? And just look at the demonizing that the alleged Republicans laid at the feet of Goldwater. Boy Jorge is as queer as a 3 dollar bill,and McLunatic is a thief,liar,and traitor. Hell,he might as well BE a Bush.
I will grant you that the movers and shakers in the alleged Republican Party seem to have a Zero Tolerance Policy in effect for heterosexual sex,though.
Sure I have. I have also heard of Cain, Newt Gingrich, and others. Bush and McLunatic just had squeakier dossiers because they kept it out of the press--which is my point, when measuring Trump against those Dems. It isn't about what has been
done, it is about what
we can show has been done. Trump got it on tape. With the resorts and hotels and maybe comping some 'luxury accommodations', and the other folks he knows, who knows what else he has on tape and who the 'stars' are of the show?
IMHO, that was the reason for the full court press on Cruz--they didn't have anything on him. Put on your Skull and Bones hat--they ALL have something on the others, it is the price of admission to the club, and THE club doesn't necessarily mean 'Skull and Bones'. It is a system of mutual control to make sure no one gets out of line.
If Trump goes down, he'll likely take a lot of his golfing buddies with him. He knows who, what, when, where, just from the 'locker room talk', and may well have participated in or facilitated such. He has leverage. He can't be taken down without a lot of 'collateral damage', and everyone is protecting their phony baloney jobs.
It is no surprise that the hypocrisy runs deep among Dims, but like the 'Plantation', everyone seems to think it's just the Dems, and no, the GOP is doing it, too. They are pretty much all rotten.
>>But in other years, what we have heard would have been enough to put a 'D' after Trump's name if he was going to get any voter support.<<
"Other years" my big red ass! He IS a Dim in everything but temporary Registration. If it looks like a duck,quacks like a duck,and walks like a duck,it's a bleeping duck!
The ironic thing about this is it is the insider Party People who are the only professional Republicans that have been screaming in outrage about Trump,but never uttered a discouraging word about the Bush Crime Family or McLuntic. Seems obvious to ME that the source of their outrage isn't over the things that Donald Little Hands has said or done,but about the threat his campaign represents to THEIR OWN political careers. They don't give a damn about America,but they sure as hell care about the future of their careers!
No argument, here. For them, Trump has upset their applecart because they had all the 'Who's turn is Next?' stuff planned out. The hostile takeover represents a real threat, but it is not from an ideological standpoint, it is their job security that's on the line. It is an inside/outside thing, and from the standpoint of being GOP, Trump isn't, hasn't been, and has barged in the door and caught 'em with their britches down.
You are correct about the bottom line being power and wealth, and preserving that. America comes in way down the line.
