Lindsey Graham: 'My Party Has Gone Batshit Crazy'

Sen. Lindsey Graham is disgusted with the GOP's embrace of Donald Trump: "My party has gone batshit crazy." Well, I would say turnabout is fair play, the RNC and associated idiots have been Batsh@t crazy for the last 3 elections or so. Maybe the Republicrat voters are just fed up with the imperial families who run both parties and want to dictate their policies and laws to us, and then hand us the bill on top of it. No thanks, to all of them. BS crazy is ok if it means cutting them down even a little.

    I would say you just were not politically correct enough to be allowed into the hallowed halls of "leadership". Look at the superior performance of some 2 and 3 stars with the missile programs over the last few years.

    What excuse? He wouldn't have one. He did n't do a damn thing, making him just as incompetent and unaware of things as Lindsey.

    I wish that Trump was a bit more coherent and rational. That seems to be his Achillies heel. He should have said just that "who? I am not going to reject anyone, I do not approve of them, endorse them, or support them, but they are free to do as they wish. If someone just as free wants to knock their heads in, well...." Something like that would have probably gone better...

    You look at the Constitution Party and they want to ram their own agenda down your throat. They mixed in some creation called the "right to life", and "One husband one wife". For people who espouse freedom, they seem pretty bent on dictating what you will do. I wish people who espouse the Constitution would stick to it, if it is not specifically prohibited, then it falls to the states to regulate. But noooo....

    Realistically, if all these farts go out of office and the 'establishment', they will be forced to find something else to do for an income and probably never come back. What a great day for America that would be.

    Subsidies arent subsidies really. They are reductions in taxes that shouldnt have been there at all. You pay plenty of other taxes, so enjoy your furnace knowing that it resulted in a tax refund.

    I'd actually really like to see Carson offered VP... I think he would be a good counter to the Trump wackiness, while still having enough of a sense of humor to put up with it. He is the only one on either side of the aisle that no one can deny is a simple, humble, & decent human being and obviously extremely intelligent.

    You know, I actually work with a lot of retired military officers, mostly Lt. Col & full Colonels.. often, not the sharpest tools in the toolshed... certainly seem to think they are though.

    Anything but the hildebeast. She lies, hides, and has ideas sparked by a political weathervane. She is a good sales person, but very scary. She will destroy our economy and result in the demolition of my small company. Sanders will never get past a general election becuase of his ridiculous tax increases no one wants (they want the benefits, but he at least claims to make us pay for them) Trump is the only chance to beat the Hildebeast.

    I think it's really stupid for the government to be subsidizing consumer purchases of more efficient furnaces, but that didn't keep me from filing for the tax credit when I bought my new furnace.

    It's easy to sum up -
    1.) He's not 'their' guy..

    2.) The ilk of Karl Rove, etc. are not going to be getting new $300k govie jobs in a Trump administration.

    3.) I suspect he will eliminate a lot of government overhead, I just can't picture him tolerating waste & fat.

    4.) He will obviously hold departments accountable. "You're Fired" has never before been uttered in the corridors of the federal government, but needs to be on a daily basis.

    5.) He can't be bended & molded by threats of pulling or making campaign contributions. No one will have any control over him.

    6.) Obviously, a lot of large American business really likes the free import of made-in-China and Vietnam crap. The anti-Trump attack-ads PACs are going to be flying... Hillary is pretty hooked-up with Walmart, they stand to lose a lot from free trade going away.

    I think on his own, he certainly is a crazy SOB, but really think Eric & Ivanka hold tremendous sway over him and they are quite grounded. There will be a lot of times when they just call him and say "Dad.. WTF? you are embarrassing us..." And he will calm down again for a while, you can already see it in his campaign.

    Nonetheless, fully expect the real dirt & mud slinging machines to come out... it's pretty obvious the whole David Duke & KKK nonsense is a fabrication of Jeff Roe (Cruz's Campaign Manager), that is 100% in his past performance dirty-campaigning playbook... All these guys are about to be jobless, its going to be very ugly for a while. We'll see the real 'ilk' of all of them come out when they are unemployed and jump to the Hillary camp to run 'get out the vote' efforts. I saw that, and quite honestly, if someone had told me the KKK had endorsed me, I would be like "who? they still exist?". Actually, I looked it up... many, many more people claim to be abducted by aliens each year than are members of the KKK. That's Jeff Roe - Google his prior Missouri state campaign tactics...

    Someone should 'donate' a treadmill... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/24/us/...
    Fat Slob. Maybe he will die of a heart attack while eating a jelly donut... we can only hope, one less Medicare suckling piglet to support in later years...

    You have a good point there. Sandoval is a wolf in sheep clothing for sure. He is a lying turncoat for sure. I have really bad feelings about him and will forevermore.

    I really fear Hildebeast, although Sanders is more honest and pushes us where most of the voters want to go in the end anyway. Hildebeast is bought and paid for by Wall St and Goldman- that is scary since they will mess with the money and steal from us that way as well as raising taxes on all of us.

    I dont think Trump is bought and paid for. I like the fact he runs his campaign on his own dime. He isnt perfect, but he will speak what needs to be spoken, be good in foreign relations and stick up for the USA for a change, isnt muslim-leaning, and will be good for the economy here

    I thought you were talking about the HIldebeast. She just says whatever her handlers tell her is politically expedient. She pretends to be fighting for everyone, but in fact is fighting for her power only. She is more dangerous because she hides behind a cloak. Trump is the only one who gives speeches without notes in those "debates". That says a lot.

    Your comments above are exactly what Hildebeast does.

    Trump basically says he uses the loopholes, so if you dont like them, get RID of them. He is honest about it, which is absolutely what we need a dose of now. The biggest ponzi scheme is Social Security by FAR, and its the system that has perpetrated it. Madoff was a small time player, and he operated with the support of the system and fed off the stupid greed of the jews who put their money with him.

    If you continue to hate Trump, however, you will guarantee Hildebeast's victory. Trump is not the worst candidate by any means. You think Hildebeast isnt a sales person??? She says whatever the political winds tell her

    “My good friend and his wife stayed home in 2012 and I could not convince them they were, in fact, voting for Barry Obama.” No they weren’t. What you are saying is that there is no difference between them 1) staying home or 2) actually casting a vote for Obama. You’re also assuming that the Republican candidate (Mitt Romney) would have been their second choice.

    Not voting (or voting third-party) is a valid option when both major-party candidates are unacceptable. And who knows what junk Romney would have been able to get through a Republican Congress if he had been elected President. Here in Nevada a Republican governor was able to ram a huge tax increase through a Republican legislature, something that a Democrat would never have been able to do.

    Two problems with "bad vs. not-so-bad":

    1) It is often not easy to tell which choice is worse when the two candidates are bad in different ways.

    2) The "not-so-bad" candidate may have a better shot at implementing his/her agenda. For example, here in Nevada we have a Republican governor that was able to push a huge tax increase through a Republican-dominated legislature. A Democrat in the governor's office would have had a much harder time accomplishing this.

    Trump engenders a lot of hate because he has demonstrated a disregard for individual rights, a record of cronyistic behavior, and a philosophy of Pragmatism that makes any principle negotiable.

    He has shown that he will use anyone as a stooge depending on the audience of the moment. He sells "Trump", at any cost, using innuendo, rumor, doublespeak, threats and the actions of a spoiled child. His election is the quickest path to fascism.
