Like Trump or not - he still won the GOP primary process and the nomination - fair and square. Time to move on and defeat Hillary.
I know. I was just pointing out that Trumpkins seem to think that their orange nominee has a mandate due an unprecedented level of support from GOP voters and that's not really the case. The manner in which this convention has played out shows just how poor a nominee he is. Trump did win fair and square, but let's not pretend that he has a united party behind him.

For the record, I am now an unaffiliated voter, and do not think Trump will beat Hillary.

Yes Trump does have a partially divided DOP party behind him. Just as Hillary had a divided Dem party after her win. The difference is - Bernie Sanders did bury the hatchet and did endorse Hillary - as painful as that was. Ted Cruz showed less class than Bernie Sanders and has exacerbated the divide.

Interesting, Charles Krauthammer called Ted Cruz's speech at the RNC yesterday the longest political suicide note in political history. Folks in the GOP will not forget it. Politics and sports are tough games, you don't always win. You must shake hands and move on.

I apologize to all the pond-scum I inadvertently offended with my last post.

Nice Christian attitude - calling folks that exercise their Constitutionally protected 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and and petition - pond scum. These freedoms as defined by the Supreme Court, includes freedom of political thought and political expression. Except in the world of Mars - where you are pond scum and a Nazi if you exercise that Constitutional right. A fine Christ-like attitude.

welcome to the unaffiliated/independence party. I've been here about 8 years. while the platform of the Republican party appeals to me, their actions don't seem to follow suit very often.

Ok, I know I started this thread, but my point really isn't arguing one over the other, because It's like arguing whether it's better to die of cancer, stroke or a heart attack. The two-party system has utterly failed. It's time to vote outside of it.

The Clintons are EVIL. Make no mistake about that. Bill flying around on the lolita plane, Hillary making backdoor weapons deals with extremists regimes who hate us, and people who get in the Clintons' way ending up dead.

I'm not personally voting for Trump, but he's nowhere near the level of evil that the Clintons are.
AND ANoTHER!!! (rhetorical question) why isn't the media ALL OVER this? It's the stuff pulitzers are made of.

I'm sure it's all coincidence...
There's no doubt about it, the Clintons are political mafiosos. Yes, Trump might say anything to get elected, but the Clintons will DO anything=pure evil.
