Panicked GOP braces for big Trump win on Super Tuesday

The ramifications would be “huge and catastrophic,” according to Peter Wehner, who served in the administrations of the three most recent Republican presidents: Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. “This would be an epic political moment because it would be the fundamental redefinition of a great political party. It would, in many ways, be a dismantling of it.”​
 
I finally gave into my conscience and left the Republican party today.

I'm now an independent. I feel free(although still hopeless, as I realize the president will either be Clinton or Trump, and both scare the hell out of me).
 
You know what? I don't care at this point. What damn difference does it make whether Hillary or Trump wins? They're cut from the same cloth. They're crooks, they're liars, they are big government leftist hacks. Why should I stain my conscience with the shiniest of two turds? So the GOP can have a chance at destroying the country? No thanks.

Think about that. Think about another four+ years under Democratic control. Four years under Trump is a pretty easy preference for me. At this point, it makes no difference how conservative he is. What matters is that he's not the Hildebeast.
 
It looks like the primary is over...


Hillary Clinton is bracing for a bruising general election battle with Donald Trump.

Clinton and Trump both emerged victorious on Super Tuesday, making it more clear than ever before that they are likely to face off in November.

Advisers and longtime allies to Clinton say they’re preparing for a fight that they think could be the ugliest general election in political history.​

Has Donald Trump Ever Used a Computer?

The New York Times examined Trump’s tech use in a July 28, 2015 story about a deposition he once gave. And it strengthens the case that Trump has never once touched a PC.
If Trump has truly never used a computer, that would be a remarkable change of trajectory in American politics. Since the transition from Bill Clinton in the early 1990s to George W. Bush in the 2000s to Barack Obama, our presidents have changed with the technological times. None have been technological wizards, but they’ve appeared competent with the mainstream computing tech of their day.

I've done a bit of googling.. and can't seem to debunk this one.. If anyone else can that would be awesome.
 
Exclusive: Koch brothers will not deploy funds against Trump during primaries

The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, the most powerful conservative mega donors in the United States, will not deploy their $400 million political arsenal to attack Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential primary election, according to an official from the brother's political umbrella group.

"We have no plans to get involved in the primary," said James Davis, spokesman for Freedom Partners, the Koch brothers’ political umbrella group.

Donors and media reports have speculated since a Koch summit in January that the brothers would launch a "Trump Intervention," a strategy that would involve deploying the Koch’s vast political network to target the billionaire reality TV star in hopes of removing him from the race.​
 
After Losses, Marco Rubio Skips the Donald Trump Jokes

“If we choose Donald Trump as our nominee, we will lose in November,” he said. “If we choose Donald Trump as our nominee, we will put in charge of the conservative movement someone who is not a true conservative. And if we choose Donald Trump as our nominee, he will have carried out the most elaborate con job in the history of American politics.”

Mr. Trump, he added, was exploiting fear. And he urged people not to be taken in.​

...a man who says 'Make America Great Again' is not exploiting fear.
 
GOP split over accepting Trump

Trump’s rise has stunned establishment Republicans, who have been grasping for any strategy that might deny Trump the nomination.

But with the businessman’s delegate lead growing, a number of GOP lawmakers also say they’re preparing to work with whoever the Republican nominee is.

“Either we trust the primary system or we don’t. We trust the primary voters or we don’t,” said Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), who had endorsed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) before he dropped out of the race. “I will be supporting our nominee against Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton.”

Among Senate Republicans, there’s a growing feeling that opposition to Trump would backfire, given voter distrust of the GOP establishment.​

Yes, yes he is. He's exploiting the fear of people that muslims are going to kill us all, that mexicans are coming in to rape and plunder and steal our jobs, etc.

Adolf Hitler ran on making Germany powerful again. Are you going to say he didn't exploit fear?
 
"So, I look at that border with Saudi Arabia and with everybody.”

You know, NBC hates me because there are no jobs, because everybody wanted over the place. We got – I’ve gotten to see so many people that don’t have a clue and I did them early and play, that would be a very good feeling, right?

Very good feeling. We love our vets. We love The Apprentice. We love our police ...

They are ripping us. We are going to build our military, we have to stop it folks I know how to do that.” I say, “That’s the end of his election is tougher to win than beating a failed president. I really proud of my success. I really amazing. I said, “Well” – and this is not bragging. I’m going to happen. It was absolutely nothing. When you look at all those cameras back there.

They are ripping us.

Even Germany – Germany’s a power. Who has a Mercedes Benz? Anybody? A lot of people said, “He had assets of $9 billion 240 million dollars a day. Whenever thought that he would be a great — all over the border for one day and all of a sudden, Mexico took it away. And we get nothing. There’s always the Art of the special interests and by the — the donors and they’re doing a feature and they charged me a big tariff. They’re not so stupid. They know it’s not me in the post office in Washington telling this country, it’s destroying our country it really helped and really probably the time and I have a great family."

Oh dear - I've been joking on another site that Trump often sounds like a hastily programmed chatbot (though Dan Quayle proved that you don't have to be able to pass the Turing test to get elected). I suppose it was inevitable that somebody would actually go and do it.
 
Trump names Sessions chair of his national security team

Donald Trump on Thursday named Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., as chairman of his national security advisory committee.

Trump's campaign said Sessions, a vocal advocate of tougher enforcement of the nation's immigration laws, would counsel Trump on foreign policy and homeland security.

"It is an honor to have Jeff as a member of the team," Trump said. "I have such great respect for him and I look forward to working with him on the issues most important to Americans."​

Given all the outrageous things your guy says about others, why should he be immune to such criticism?

He's been raising a mob of brownshirts who try and shout down and intimidate anybody who disagrees with him. He tries to convince people that two major races/religions are destroying America and need to be stopped. He's promising to change the law to make it illegal for news outlets to criticize him.

Wake the hell up. Voting for this madman is to be complicit in the rise of an authoritarian
