Get On the Trump Train

Sounds like Mr. Graham wants a parliament and not a congress.

[Mik]

Keep the policies. Change the candidate.

...and Trump wants a monarchy.

You chaps can have Prince Andrew if you like. I believe he's looking for an opening.

I think the problem is he found one.

Looks like Graham’s a RINO now.

Trump calls Lindsey Graham a RINO?
@Jolly must be crushed.

This needs to added to the "Whither GOP ..." thread.

[Jolly]

Nope.

People in the party know what Lindsey is.

It's arguable that Donald Trump is a RINO, but not in the way that he means it. I think it's fair to say that he's a lot more concerned with Donald Trump than he is with the Republican Party.

I'm equally sure that some of his apologists will disagree with that.

[Klaus]

Trump's RINO algorithm seems to be rather simple:

IF (s)he support me THEN (not RINO) else RINO

More like

status = no_rino

When (s)he does not support me:
__status = rino

Some of you are political morons.

Not really. They just say and do what they think will get them elected by their base.

They will turn on Trump pretty quickly if they think it will help get them elected.

Not saying they're wrong - but those are some sad kingmakers compared to the previous ones.

What a dreadful bunch.

Seriously, I wouldn't let half of them near my kids.

Like it or not, it's coming.

If that's true, then the politics of both sides really is spiraling into idiocy.

[Jolly]

No more so than usual.
