This is going to be a new experience for the Republicans. They are used to Democratic voters meekly submitting to the GOP’s suppression of their voting rights. Herr Trumpf’s minions are not going to go so quietly. And thanks to the GOP, I’ll bet a lot of them are part of the “well-regulated militia.” Should be interesting.
From Indiana to Colorado to Tennessee, those involved in the delegate selection process are receiving harassment and even death threats from Trump fans who believe that the system has been “rigged” against the real estate mogul.
They are quite right about the system being rigged.
Well, what can the GOP expect. The leadership of the party has announced they will do everything in their power to stop Trump, in other words, rig the convention if necessary. The Kock bros have announced they will do everything in their power to spend their zilllions of dollars to rig the outcome. They are writhing in confusion right now, because they have lost control, they entered this election cycle thinking that all their years were about to culminate in the purchase of their puppet, Walker. The GOP and Oligarchy and the One Percent have been manipulating and rigging the process for decades. The problem is, Trump has awakened those who were manipulated, appealed to them as they have finally apparently waked up to the fact they have been just ignorant pawns in the game, and they are not interested in taking it any more. Can’t say I blame them, really. But those really are the facts of the matter. The GOP and the Neocons have been profoundly influenced by a political philosophy which posits from its roots that the masses and their judgement are not to be trusted, but they are to be manipulated, primarily by the use of front man attractive candidates who are in fact under the full control of the puppet masters. Just read up on Leo Strauss and the Neoconservative movement. Have antacid pills at hand.
The parallels between Trump die-hards and Bernie die-hards can be kind of freaky at times…
Here’s yesterday’s WaPo article about how Bernie die-hards are harassing Democratic super delegates. They’ve setup the website “SuperdelegateHitList.com”… because that sounds so ‘friendly’ and ‘coalition building’.
flip sides, same coin…
While the Republicans have a repugnant element that is now asserting itself with a “we’ll kick you in the balls” attitude and actually ready to do the kicking there is also a part of the “regressive wing” of the Sander’s support troops that is flexing its “intimidation” muscles. The information highway is very active and these people need little encouragement, The establishment in both parties need to understand that their " supremacy" is not going to help them. Keep it open, keep it clean. Let the power brokers take a hike!
" “Shame on the people who somehow think it is right to threaten me and my family over not liking the outcome of an election.”” -Colorado GOP Chair Steve House
These guys do not deserve an ounce of sympathy although it is a certainty the media will portray them as victims. Not a peep was said by House or any other GOPer when similar personal threats were made to Democrats when public meetings were held about Obamacare. To the media, threats are only “shameful” when made to GOPers. Ones made to Democrats by the Teabaggers got relatively little coverage.
He’s MAD now!
Ultimately, the incumbents in both parties have more incentive to fight, no matter how tilted the playing field. Hillary is the default position for Obama legacy employees with large mortgages in Alexandria, Rockville or Tysons, and plan to carry over into the next administration. Also, I’m not sure that Washington would survive too long under a Cruz administration. Packs of roving terminated civil servants would probably try to burn down the place. Establishment Republicans will play to keep the House and Senate, and Democrats to keep the White House. The forces of Cruz and Trump get nothing, and the Bernie people get nothing. Or maybe they all get a hearty handshake.
Ahhh anyone really surprised by this? If so, pull your head out of your ass and listen to what Trump says that draws these people in.
I guess it sucks when the chickens come home to kill.
will this sort of behavior carry on after the election?
will the whining cry babies be sniveling that they didn’t understand the rules and lost because they got less votes than the winner and somehow the game was rigged against them?
stay tuned… same Bat time… same Bat channel…
Take it from us.
Wait’ll they start publishing your pictures with crosshairs over your faces. A real hoot. You’ll love it.
See you in church.
Blame it on Bernie!
Dear ReplbliKKKlan Leadership:
F*$K YOU!
For years you and your Corporate Controlled Conservative Propaganda machine have brainwashed millions of people just like Soviet Communists did. You forgot that sooner or later the masses will eventually turn on you because you continually make promises to them that you have no intention of delivering. You’re going to wind up the exact same way Soviet Communists did, broken into multiple pieces. You deserve everything that’s coming your way. And America will be a better place after your party collapses and the Libertarians replace you as a major party. You’ll wind up like the British Liberal Party in the mid 20th Century–a rump party with a handful of Congressional seats in the South and Rocky Mountain states.
Sounds like the gestapo tactics dump accused cruz of…
“…Trump’s convention manager brushed off the rhetoric by saying Stone was not “an official part of the campaign.”
Oh but you have no control over this. Every time Trump says “The election is rigged” it empowers the hooligans to take control. YOU may not think that Stone et.al have control but I suspect that Trump is giving Stone a pat on the back every time he says something like this.
Let the fraggings continue!
You reap what you sow. Carry on, pinheads.
SAD!!! (More letters added to post to make the software happy even if they kill the Trump joke–AD)
