"Adolph sucks, but if he's our nominee ..."

Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and many, many other Republicans have said they will stand behind their nominee, "whoever he is."

So if some guy with a tail, a pitchfork, and a 666 tattoo on his forehead turns out to be their nominee, will the leaders of the Republican Party back him?

Sadly, yes. All the Jesus, Family Values, anti-abortion, anti-woman cretins who have called us "evil" over the years, have been exposed for the rancid bullshit salesmen they are.

The Republican Party is a sewer filled with toxic poison. And they have now shown us exactly what they are. Unfortunately, their voters can't see it and never will.

If we don't beat them in the upcoming election, we're doomed to dwell in their sewer. And any Democrat who is insists he/she won't vote unless they get the candidate they want, is stoned on their own moral certitude.

And if you think there is. Well I have yet to meet a bright and articulate Burins fan.

That's a meme that's used over on DU-Primaries and it's 100% inaccurate, false, and total bullshit. It's used to fend off a rational argument. It's used by people who can't come up with a thoughtful rebuttal. It's used by people who refuse to be original.

And yes, I will vote for him in the GE if he wins the nomination. And I will vote for the other candidate if she wins.

No pledges. No kidding. No bullshit.

Nonetheless, thanks for your input, Yoda.

2. They support him because at their cores, they are just like him.

They are mad at him because he is not playing by the old rule book.
Lie and pretend they are decent human beings.
And they hate him because they know he is going to be difficult to control.
(like most of their party, i.e. Reagan, Bush).

are made of and it's disgusting. There are no more excuses. The republicans have cast out the moderates that used to be really OK (sometimes).

8. I have been saying for a long time that the term "Evangelical" is just another wing of the GOP.

It has, and never has had, ANYTHING to do with religion. They just like to be able to think that God is on their side so they can have Carte Blanche to be as evil and twisted as they want to be.

9. I get the impression that people here believe really bad things will happen if Trump is elected.

BUT....

And it's a big but,...

For some reason they seem to believe that all those bad things will happen to somebody else, and won't affect them personally, so why worry.

Believe me, if Trump gets elected really bad things WILL happen to you and to me, personally. So don't sit this one out, even if it means voting for the DINO banker-booster who we all know is the only the lesser of two evils. But at least she's the WAY lesser of two evils.
