In effect, then, the Republican Party decided that a few massacres were an acceptable price to pay in return for tax cuts. I wish that were hyperbole, but the continuing refusal of G.O.P. figures to criticize Trump even after El Paso shows that it’s the literal truth.

Is this your own idea? Either way, if it is what you say it is, I love it. Trump is much more married to the idea of making deals than he is to the GOP.

Given that the Dems are doing all they can to lose AGAIN to this moron, time to make lemonade.

Bill Clinton understood how to ju jitsu the Republicans and steal their issues like Welfare Reform and NAFTA. Nancy should be half as clever.

GWB tried the same thing but didn't know the difference between ju jitsu and sumo wrasslin so we got Medicare prescriptions and NCLB.

The Nebraska Republican Party on Monday called for GOP state Sen. John McCollister to re-register as a Democrat after he accused the party of enabling white supremacy in the United States.

“John McCollister has been telegraphing for years that he has little if nothing in common with the Republican voters in his district by consistently advocating for higher taxes, restrictions on American’s Second Amendment rights, and pro-abortion lobby,” Nebraska Republican Party Executive Director Ryan Hamilton said in a statement. “His latest false statement about Republicans should come as no surprise to anyone who is paying attention, and we’re happy he has finally shed all pretense of being a conservative.”
