Good thread. Thanks for reminding ISH that the Republicans lead by Abraham Lincoln the GOAT president fought an entire war to end slavery in America. They put down the evil segregationist pro-slavery Democrats and brought them back in to the Union and forced them to follow the rules laid out in the great Republican document, the Emancipation Proclamation.


If it wasn't for the Republicans in the Civil War, we might have two different Americas right now and one of them would still have slaves.

They weren't the party of the south that year due to a schism.
Still not sure what that has to do with anything. They were only dominated by the South in one election anyway (Buchanan's; Pierce carried the North and South, and before him there were plenty of Southern Whigs and Dems; the Republicans were the first party to organise along sectional lines; the Jacksonian Democrats were never really the party of the South, but the party of Jacksonian Democracy, as aside from the Whigs, who were generally more elitist).

Don't be surprised if Romney decides to join Rubio as VP and Jeb endorses Rubio. Rubio getting final push with possibly couple more SuperPACs that Romney/Jeb had. I think we will see multiple big endorsements in the coming days to push Rubio to counter Trump.

Trumps main strength: he's anti establishment.

Strategy to take him down: have the establishment pile on him and make it very clear that the establishment is against him. Even bring establishment figures out of retirement just to prove how much the establishment doesn't approve of him.

Sarah Palin the dummy is back taking side with Trump. McCain must be kicking himself for choosing Palin as VP in 08 :lol


Sarah Palin is thanking Mitt Romney for driving up Donald Trump's poll numbers after Romney slammed the GOP frontrunner in a speech today in Utah.

She wrote on Facebook that the "silly and contradictory" speech exposed the 2012 GOP nominee as a pawn of "the corrupt political establishment who can't afford to lose their power in liberal D.C."

"The political establishment's desperation is nailing its coffin," Palin wrote.

She closed by calling for "independent, commonsense conservative patriots" to "ramp it up" and not be deterred by "Alinsky tactics" to destroy their "We the people movement."

"Americans' shoulders just got bigger and broader. Way to go, Mitt."

History is repeating itself. Mitt is trying to stop the extreme shift of the GOP to an anti Latino, anti Muslim party of Drumpf just like his father did when Barry Goldwater put his anti Black Southern Strategy into play.

[I][INDENT]First, as to your remarks in Jamaica concerning the possible realignment of the Republican and Democratic parties into

[navy]

Republicans in shambles.

[Nick Young]

Donald Trump is pro-unity.

He loves Latinos more than Dems, atleast he is trying to help them.


The Democrats only like latinos because they like exploiting them with low wages for back breaking jobs, and because they see all latinos as Dem voters.

The Democrats do not see latino men and women and children as human beings. They only see them for the low wages they are willing to work for.



By eliminating the problem of illegal immigration, Trump is protecting latino men and women from risking their lives by associating with criminals, and also from living lives of suffering in America where they would be forced to work for $2.50 an hour cleaning toilets every day.


Morale of the story-Trump has empathy
Hillary and the Dems have zero empathy.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Does anyone think Mitt Romney will change anyone's mind? I largely agree with what he said about Trump today but if Trump was running against a Satanist I would at least feel compelled to investigate what Satanists stood for. I'd bet that Romney's endorsement of whoever is most likely to win your state that isn't Trump was motivated by at least a small hope that he would be the winner of the brokered (or just broken) convention. Donald Trump is unlikely to beat Hillary Clinton. But the product of the insider bribe-a-thon that a brokered convention would be (75% of the delegates get released from the candidate they were originally committed to and then everyone does whatever they can to get sufficient support to win) would get absolutely destroyed by the combined forces of the Left and Trump's furiously angry coalition, likely even a third-party Trump. Imagine Trump vs. Clinton vs. Romney. How does the Republican Party win there when they were already the underdogs before they split their own base?

Random rambling, things I have been thinking about but have no serious conclusions on:

Long-term this could all be healthy, or at least lead to some new parties, which could be interesting. We're hearing Mitch McConnell and other prominent Republicans say they would support Hillary Clinton over Trump. The current DNC chair is siding with Republicans against Elizabeth Warren's financial reforms. The Republican frontrunner has at least in the past espoused a number of liberal positions and his supporters don't seem to care so long as he continues to talk shit about Muslims and Mexicans. Going back to the left, there is a new generation of voter to whom "socialist" is not the curse word those of us over 30 had grown up believing it to be. Economically conservative Democrats like Schultz (and possibly Clinton?) could eventually join with the "Establishment" Republicans that are currently being rejected by their own base. We might just be seeing the formation of new parties: Democratic Socialists, Plutocratic Democrats, and the new Know-Nothing Party (that would be a cheap shot at Trump's supporters).

He's like Trump in that he did a good job of making money for himself, and that's the goal of these guys, not creating jobs for other people or whatever altruistic nonsense they may spew when they are trying to win an election. Sometimes their businesses fail, sometimes they do well, but for them the real measure of success is their personal assets.

Lol. I actually think Romney would have been a very good president.

Let's just be clear though. He didn't just decide on his own to come out against Trump. He didn't just come out because he felt so strongly about this and had a deep need to express his opinion. A lot happened behind the scenes for this to happen. Deals were made and he's out here shilling for the corporate power structure. He's tap-dancing for the establishment.

The Donald is gearing up to trade in his soul for riches.


First on CNN: Donald Trump plans fundraising blitz if he wins GOP nomination, source says

(CNN)Donald Trump -- who has attracted voters with his pledge to fund his campaign from his own bank account -- intends to reverse course and raise money in the general election if he wins the Republican nomination, according to a source familiar with the plan.

Trump and his staff have told some individuals -- including potential donors -- that as soon as the billionaire businessman secures the nomination, he will pivot and begin fundraising for a general election fight, the source said.

In the event that he wins, Trump will have to quickly scale up his campaign -- particularly if he's competing nationwide against Hillary Clinton's behemoth political organization. In private conversations, Trump and his aides have acknowledged that the Republican Party will need to be well-funded for the general election, and that Trump will work with the party to ensure that's the case.

Their message is "basically we're going to be a traditional party candidate," as far as fundraising is concerned, the source said.

Trump has prided himself on running an efficient primary campaign, funded largely from his personal wealth. At campaign rallies, he regularly touts that he won't be beholden to special interests -- from banks to health care companies to insurance providers -- because he's footing most of the bill for his presidential bid.

"They have no control over Donald Trump. I don't want their money. I don't need their money," Trump told a South Carolina crowd last month, as he slammed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as a candidate who would be controlled by big banks and oil companies because of his donors.

Speaking in Maine on Thursday, Trump repeated the attack, this time against Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

"I tell people if you had like a lightweight Rubio as president, he's all controlled by the special interests, 100%," Trump said. "I'm self-funding, they're not paying me anything."

"Mr. Trump is focused on the primary election," said Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. "He's self-funding his campaign. There's no discussion at all about the general election."

GOP rivals like Cruz and Rubio have far outspent Trump in the primary. As of late January, Trump's campaign had spent about $24 million. Trump has loaned about $17.5 million to his campaign from the time he entered the race, through the end of January.

"He's spent no money on his campaign so far," the source said of Trump's shoestring campaign budget. "That won't happen in a general election."

Trump has said his campaign accepts small donations and insists they're unsolicited, even though his campaign website is emblazoned with two prominent "Donate" buttons.

He often brags that big donors have offered millions of dollars and he has so far turned them down. But under this shift, Trump would begin taking in significant sums, and tapping donors for tens of thousands of dollars apiece.

Last week, after endorsing Trump, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie foreshadowed the candidate's about-face on a call with his biggest donors, suggesting Trump would raise money in a general election.

I don't know. One guy got a few hundred million (I think) and made billions, other took millions and made hundreds of millions. Trump is certainly the bigger businessman.

[FillJackson]

Trump and his staff have told some individuals -- including potential donors -- that as soon as the billionaire businessman secures the nomination, he will pivot and begin fundraising for a general election fight, the source said.
Trump is not really self -funding. He had loaned his campaign money which means he can pay himself back with other campaign funds. His donations to his campaign is quite small so far.

He doesn't have enough liquid assets to fund a general election campaign. This is one of the reasons he won't release his taxes.

Someone examined the financial info he has given out so far and the more detailed list clearly listed revenue not income. The reporter believes that Trump is exaggerating both his wealth and his income by a factor of three.

The "Progressives" criticized Hilary for months on end, praised Bernie for being for real change and anti-establishment but in the end the Democrats will never consider the idea of Bernie running as a 3rd Candidate because afterall they want a "Democrat" in office. It really doesn't even matter what Democrat it is but a democrat nonetheless is fine. The same can be said for the right that claim they will support Trump if he is the Republican nominee although I find it hard to believe.

It's funny watching these "progressive" shows like TYT, Secular Talk, etc. They are upset because Bernie won't win but hey they will get a Democrat in office who they bashed for months. "Progressives" and Democrats are the same sheep they criticize the far-right to be but since they have the title of "progressive" they think they are somehow above them because the support unisex bathrooms.

Now imagine how great it would be for our country if Trump won the Republican nominee or ran as a 3rd party, Hilary won the Democrat Nominee, Bernie ran as a Socialist 3rd Party and some neocon take your pick (Cruz, Kasich, Romney etc) ran during the GE and add in a libertarian like Gary Johnson.

But nah Democrats are pure-establishment sheeps. They like the two party system and establishment candidates like Hilary Clinton are A-ok with them.

But nah Democrats are pure-establishment sheeps. They like the two party system and establishment candidates like Hilary Clinton are A-ok with them.

I disagree. If Barney was doing what Obama did in 08 and the big wigs of the party disregarded that, attacked him openly and floated the idea of a third party candidate and/or brokered convention, yet there was no significant backlash from the party faithful...then you could claim this. Barney isn't winning enough states, nor is he actual leading in delegates. Throw in the fact that he became a Democrat within the last year solely to get a shot and it isn't hard to see why the Democrats aren't as fractured as the GOP.

Dems shook as hell. All of their predictions of Trumps downfall have failed hard-just look in this thread for several examples of hardcore failed predictions from the Dems of ISH. :lol

Some conservative big wigs met in DC (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/17/gop-operatives-conservative-leaders-meet-to-thwart-trump/) a few hours ago. Some of the topics discussed was having a third party candidate in the fall if Drumpf gets the nom... And jumping ship from the GOP and starting a new political party from scratch.

RIP GOP.

Who will fight against the KKK starting pro-slavery Democratic party now?

Great Republican Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is shaking his head in heaven right now, may God bless his soul.

The republican party Dr. King knew died the same time he did. All we've seen of it since has been the rotting, decaying corpse. Drumpf is simply the undertaker.

RIP GOP.

More like a shedding of the old skin, to reveal a vibrant new dermis!

Republicans trying to make reasonable adaptations to accommodate new realities, yet maintain the important and necessary principles of old.

Democrats meanwhile going full evangelical. "Youre racist!" is the new "Youre a sinner!" Global warming is the new Armageddon. Obama is their pope. John Oliver is their prophet. They worship at the altar of sloganisms, talking points, strawmen, and character defamation. Viva La Animal Farm!

Again, staying true to their KKK pro-slavery pro-segregation roots.

Identity politics are just the politically correct way for modern Dems to promote and encourage racial segregation.

The current Democratic party frontrunner thinks black people are superpredators who need to be brought to heel. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALXulk0T8cg)

Time to split up the 2 parties into..

Progressive Party - Candidate Bernie
Establishment Party - Candidate Hillary
GOP - Candidate Trump
Tea Party - Candidate Cruz

Put them on debate stage together
