So I hear ya. <br /><br />IF and that's a big IF, Trump gets in, AND he governs the way he is saying he will, AND a Republican Congress does the job of enacting major changes in the way DC runs, then the Republican Party has a chance of reversing the damage of the last 8 years and putting the country back on the right track.<br /><br />That's a lot of IF's and AND's. Experience tells me its not likely to happen. Getting the nomination and then getting the job done are two different things. My hope is that a brash, hard headed, arrogant SOB with a vision of what America was once, might actually be able to buck the establishment enough to do some good.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-27751251977908608842016-03-29T21:23:26.619-06:002016-03-29T21:23:26.619-06:00Res, the party is already split, and beyond repair...Res, the party is already split, and beyond repair.

They are ALL in it to fill their pockets, both sides. <br /><br />This budget that Boehner cobbled together before he toddled off into the drunken sunset? Besides being the first budget ever past under Obama his entire presidency, the GOPE under Ryan gave the democrats and Obama MORE than they even had requested. That really surprised the democrats too.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-17923108164538860972016-03-29T16:51:39.107-06:002016-03-29T16:51:39.107-06:00Since the country prospered after the republicans ...Since the country prospered after the republicans replaced the Whig party, I would agree with you. I think we voters have just needed the proper person to coalesce around and form that party.<br /><br />That was the problem with the TP imo. Good concept, but refusal to accept any kind of leadership on a national level allowed the moderate GOPE to infiltrate and totally destroy the credibility of that whole movement. <br /><br /> Sort of the same thing they did with the term Conservative. With all the moderate cuckservatives hijacking the word, it now means next to nothing.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-57365153469239833582016-03-29T16:46:59.559-06:002016-03-29T16:46:59.559-06:00As nice a guy as Carson is, I just don't see w...As nice a guy as Carson is, I just don't see where he fills any missing qualifications for Trump.

Not that we had any of that in the last 8 years.<br /><br />The Dems will destroy the rule of law in the courts, and finish bankrupting us. They'll probably get us involved in a couple of wars in an attempt to distract us from their failures at home..<br /><br /><br />I'm hoping Trump shifts some of the pain from Americans and onto the BureauWonks where it belongs. I'm afraid that's about the best we can hope for.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-33915359309576616562016-03-29T11:15:30.968-06:002016-03-29T11:15:30.968-06:00"I think that if anyone other than Trump wins...<b>"<i>I think that if anyone other than Trump wins the nomination, it will split the party.

One is while we like Trump as our choice, 1 candidate from that neck of the woods is plenty. <br /> There is not much likable about Christie. Trump would spend all his time hanging on to the leash, and that would interfere with what the nation would rather he be doing. <br />I have seen a LOT of different comments though from people who think his personality just might be a good fit for DOJ. That is, if he will keep to Trump's agenda. We don't need another 4 years of somebody who plays politics.<br /><br />From what I have read about Christie, people may not like his political leanings when he runs for office, but when he is in prosecutor mode, there isn't much better than he is. That might be what Trump promised him.<br /><br />To devoted readers like me who gobble up the political minutia of the day, Trump has already said he would pick somebody exactly for reasons YOU stated here. Somebody who would fill in his blanks. That way, they would complement each other and be a whole team, not just two guys because it is the politically right choice to make.<br /><br />Trump has finally picked somebody who should be able to head off the thefts of delegates from Trump's slate, so I am interested in watching that. The guy worked for both Ford and Reagan, both successfully elected.<br /><br />Still not wild about Carson as a VP. He would be great as an ambassador to the UN, or even to head the cleanup of HHS.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-32736446569488132302016-03-28T14:31:43.556-06:002016-03-28T14:31:43.556-06:00Great analysis, and you have made a good case for ...Great analysis, and you have made a good case for Carson.<br /><br />Time will tell if Trump agrees.WaterBoynoreply@blogger.com
