"It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to," Trump said in a tweet that raised the prospect of a full on civil war in the Republican Party. Such a battle would pit his loyal supporters against the rest of the GOP, including vulnerable lawmakers running for re-election that could threaten the party's hold on Congress.

Yesterday I read accounts of Zachary Taylor and how his election lead to the death of the Whig party. Many many parallels to today and Trump/ Republican drama. Very interesting to read about given today's political climate.
Where exactly are we thinking the legislation is going to come from that Trump is going to need to right the ship, democrats? If it's all out war on those who don't support Trump, then what do you expect back? Not supporting or endorsing someone is not the same as actively working for their defeat.
You might want to take a look at the list of infidels from slade's last diatribe. Some are undoubtedly steaming piles of crap, but If some of them aren't conservatives, neither are you and I.
Crying that they are RINO's anyway is not going to change the fact that because Trump has done so many stupid things in this campaign, Republicans running for re-election have to distance themselves, quickly, if they want to win.
Think about Hillary and a Democratic Congress. Seriously. Is that what you want?
No. Better to let Republicans save themselves by distancing themselves from this idiot.
Actually watching the video of Trump mimicking a cripple says volumes about his character. Please watch it. Ryan should have dumped him earlier.
A lot of people here who have been Trump apologists are getting ready to see over the next 28 days how little he cares about Conservatives, the Republican Party, or anything else other than himself.
By the way, for those of you pounding the "Supreme Court, Supreme Court, Supreme Court" talking point over and over again as a reason to vote for Trump....I have a question: If Trump spends the next month trying desperately to sink Republican politicians in Congress who are critical of him, how, exactly, does that keep Republicans having any influence over who gets confirmed as Supreme Court nominees? A bunch of you have been so hoodwinked into thinking that he actually cares about nominating good justices to the Supreme Court. He doesn't.
"I am to the point where I would prefer to be governed by professional liberals"
Well you're in luck, because that is exactly what we're going to get come January of next year, no matter who wins the Presidential race.
"Among those who say they could still change their minds between now and Election Day, it’s Clinton 43%, Trump 28%, Johnson 25%"
While my feelings on him haven't changed he may sway a lot of reality show voters...
Crowder makes some very valid observations and points. (Warning: Language)
Republican and conservative continually bitch and moan about not winning and a rigged system , full of themselves and their righteous indignation. In the process, they throw THEIR own and THEMSELVES into the same gutter that they condemn the liberals for inhabiting. That is the difference between a winner and a sorry a$$ loser who thinks the the high road is the only road as long as you sound good going over the fuqn cliff.
This place is full of conservatives who proclaim conscience and justice and the golden path to heaven. That is all well and good but doing little good here on earth. Yes I know I am lost sheep that has meandered from the shepherd.
Trump is this and Trump is that and we conservatives are glowing examples of life in the lily white lane, for the betterment of mankind and all who choose losing as if that has a purpose. They have a purpose no doubt. It’s called losing ground year in and year out with hopes and dreams of a message well spent and used on their constituents. Here is a little tip. Ground. They are not making any more of it that I know of. Conservatives must have inside info on that fallacy.

Since you are so full of your self, will you leave the bowsite forever when he wins?

I'm just a simple country boy and not a good handicapper. But I'll play for something to do.
Pat can't have a gambling book ran on his public forums.... anybody wants to play send me a PM. Franklins or Jacksons are usual ways to track in the past.
Course I suspect Rocky is just running pse over the hurdles. If not send me a pm. Anybody else is welcome also..
Btw..in 3 or 4 elections, countless Super Bowls and other events...without fail everyone from Bowsite has honored their agreements. Which is expected from men.
That's what I'm thinkin' Slade...a bright spot if clinton wins.
It ain't even gonna be close.
I expect that there will be widespread corruption by the left to protect the present PIC status quo and squash the undesirables who are resisting government imposed serfdom.

From IOTWReport today:
MAN CLAIMS HILLARY ‘FORCIBLY KISSED HIM’ WHILE SINGING ‘SEXUAL HEALING’ ON A FLIGHT IN ’79
CLASH DAILY EXCLUSIVE: Shocking report about predatory sexual behavior by Hillary! Many are saying Trump’s ‘grab them by the p*ssy’ comment makes him unfit for office. Will the Media (D) say the same for Hillary?
Dave Grigger, a grave digger from Lazbuddie, Texas has made the shocking claim that Hillary Clinton forced herself on him during an airplane flight from Austin to Lubbock, Texas in 1979.
Grigger told the Lazbuddie Herald, ‘Yeah man… I was just sitting there cleaning my fingernails … drinking a Coors Light … and then, BOOM! She was on me like stink on a monkey. Tryin’ to kiss me, licking her lips, and singin’ ol’ Marvin Gaye’s song, Sexual Healing! And She smelt like sardines and Caress bath soap. I’ll never forget that smell!’
Grigger went on to say he was, ‘traumaticized for life’ but he hasn’t said anything until now because ‘he doesn’t want Hillary becoming President and what not.’
There are no witnesses to Mr. Grigger’s story but he earnestly told the Lazbuddie Herald that, ‘He’s swears to baby Jesus it’s true.’
While we can’t actually confirm the allegations, they are just as credible as the ones being made about Trump.
Having a breath that smelled of "sardines and Caress" obviously takes Clinton family sexual predation to an unheard of level. She could have prevented this by swilling her favorite mouthwash, Old Socks and Underwear bourbon.

Maybe I read you wrong. If your intention to was just to watch the game and have a little interest in it I apologize. If however you do 'take' which is your business then my offer stands. I did not know how to take you when I was directing myself at someone else and you specifically named me. I don't know why you would other than to call me out. I am here for the taking. If I am wrong then straighten me out.

Your proposal is smart but naturally I'll pass. I'm just having some fun and given the size i've dealt with in the past I have never had any pain from a nonpayer. One gentleman (Thumper) once even mailed me a payment and I didn't know why. He then reminded me of a wager we'd made and I'd totally forgotten it. Guess it's good i wasn't the loser . ;)
Far as me calling you out....naaa not at all. I did use your playing with sybil as an opening to make an invitation for wagers. In the past quite a few of us have done this on sports events and presidential elections.
Only reason I was bringing up your name was to see if you wanted to do a wager..I haven't yet met the amount I want to risk on this event. And you're right on the Vegas line. We do usually use that on football. Elections are straight up though on any I agree to.
Sorry for me giving you any misunderstanding. I don't post much anymore, guys like Seapig and Slade know me from the older times.. we all trust each other even though we've never met in person. If i was doing anything large there would certainly have to be steps taken to protect all parties. Not at our level though.
Take care.

I understand not wanting to do a straight wager.... you can read the odds as well as i can.. maybe better. Trump is a fader and the track is too long for him.
