Yeah, that'll do it. Nothing more beloved than a sore loser.
Nothing will please the Trump base other than blind fealty to Darth Combover, so I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Ben Sasse should immediately resign his Republican party alliance and declare himself a member of the Constitution Party. That would be one less vote the GOPe has in the Senate.  Three more and McConnell would loose his cushy elite status.

That's an interesting point.  Say, Rand Paul, Mike Lee and maybe a Vitter or Lankford.  Sure could make things interesting.

Blind fealty? That is the home of neverTrumps. They are the posters here who don't tolerate a difference in opinion.

If you would contribute more constructively instead of denigrating every that has principles for not supporting Trump, maybe, JUST maybe, you would get more respect and would have a decent conversation for a change.

Seems majority of Republicans are saying #neverTrump is #alwaysHillary.

Since when have principled Conservatives followed a majority?
Since when have principled Conservatives been told what to think?

There is a reason why they are likened to 'herding cats'.

All of us go our own way.

Not sure Rand Paul would fit exactly within the Conservative party, but ok. It would only take 5 conservative party members in Senate to deny McConnell or Schemer leadership of the body. They would have much more power and principles than the Gang of Eight ever thought about having.

You're killing what remains of the Constitution in your misplaced zealotry and idolatry of a man you have convinced yourselves is some kind of political messiah.
 

BOOM!

Exactly true.

Contribute to what? Falling in line with the neverTrump cultists who denigrate everyone who isn't antiTrump? Why would I want the respect of people who are ideologues,  whiners, sore losers and denigrating critics. The same  people who state that I have no principles because I don't hate and ridicule the person who is the presumptive opponent of Hillary Clinton.

He ranks very highly on conservative ratings.  And, yes, they could actually be a force to be reckoned with.

I'm no RAT, and I have been Anti-Trump for oh... I'd say right around 4-5 months. His behavior and how he has conducted himself along with a complete lack of substance or moral guidance is what disqualifies him to be President of the United States.

How ANYONE could possibly lend their name to him, I do not have ANY idea...

The problem is, now both your side and the Hillary supporters are the enemy.

So you are now calling members of the US military  the enemy? You are standing on very thin ice.

Bowe Bergdahl and Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning were members of the U.S. military, too.

So that is your plan? Your proposal? Your choice?

Hand over the control to the democrats?

What other clever thoughts roll around your mind?

So is the majority of the Brass and the Joint Chiefs who have gone along with every single despotic and damaging thing Obama has done to the military and the country.

Military endorsements do not impress anymore.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

The overwhelming majority of our military are winners, and deserve our respect. Smearing them all, with a couple of misfits is disrespectful to the max.

So how is denying the GOPe a 51 seat majority a majority for the DemRats? NEITHER will have a majority (51 seats), hence the constitutionalists will have to be dealt with by both parties, unless they REALLY become the "uniparty".

I'm not the one lumping them all together—quite the opposite. I don't believe in protected classes whose word should be revered above all else, unlike Mr. Bandwagon here.

Two out of 1,400,000 active members? So the remainder are the enemy? Or are the two you named your comrades?

Don't try changing the subject. Yes, you did lump them all together.

Aw how clever. Nice try though. The Trump campaign is speaking to a national audience, TBR is just one forum on the web. We're not the bad guys because we won't let Trump run us over.

You know, that two wolves and a lamb voting for dinner thing.

Oh no, you're posting cartoons again. You seemed to run out of clever things to say.
