Trump's "scorched earth" policy.....

[nat4900]

The Russians did it to Napoleon (and later to Hitler) and the Iraqis did it when they retreated from Kuwait in 1991....and, NOW, Trump is doing it to the GOP (Reince Priebus will be one of the first casualties.)

Among the many, many flaws in Trump's character that makes him unfit for the oval office, there is also a very nasty and vengeful streak. Knowing he will lose badly in 4 weeks, he plans to take down the GOP along with him.

Where once many of us complained that the Democrats were seldom united, the Republicans are offering the paragon of disunity. And where we once thought that the House of Representatives would always be in the hands of the GOP, Trump has actually "helped" to put that chamber into play for democrats.

Trump....as stated many times before....has proven to be the most "effective" Trojan Horse to dismantle the republican party, something that NO democrat ever even came close to doing.

I agree 100%. Trump is all or nothing, which can be admirable. But not when you take everyone down with you.

The biggest mistake many of his voters have made is they believe the Trump that they see is the real Trump. They are sold on his ideas because of his many years being in their face on TV but not knowing all this time he has been setting them up.

I wrote he was a shill way back and still believe he is and what is crazy those voting for Trump will next nominate Alec Baldwin as long as he says the right things and make them believe he is for what they want...

I believe that in pre-civil war days, we had in this country a "Know Nothing Party" whose main platform was anti-immigration. It would not be too far-fetched to see a resurgence of that same mind-set to be formed by Trump supporters who feel that the system has failed their xenophobic stance.

one third of America, all on the far and alt right, are crazy and out of touch with American history, law, Constitution, and decency.

It is laughable reading the posts of lefties about the R party and Trump.

By any objective analysis, Trump is a progressive. Yet progressives like those posting above, can't stand him. Then they decry the dismantling of the R party, which they have long hated...even though the R party is a progressive party.

It is all some kind of f**ked up craziness!!!

Its the difference between Communists and National Socialists. They're both big government leftists, but they despise each other.

I do think Trump is moving to the right. He's been exposed to the evil that is Statism.

I have little sympathy. They let these assorted hateful people near the microphones in an attempt to energize the party into winning the 2010 midterms. It worked but it has turned out to be a Pyrrhic victory indeed. They always knew their fringe was terrible but they let them out of the box anyway, typical short-sighted conservative thinking.

God put Trump on this planet to destroy the Republican party.

The lord works in mysterious ways.

 

[BluesLegend]

Trump is doing what must be done get in Hillary's face. He is forcing her to answer for her lies, Bill wife cheating pig behavior, her defense of Bill, her attacks on Bill's accusers, and her long list of failures in government jobs.

I told you people it would be a no holds barred cage match of Hillary went gutter on Trump digging up crap from 20 years ago. Even if Hillary wins Trump is going to do massive damage to her.

If that is the only thing he accomplishes, he should be considered an American hero.

One third of America, 90% of which reside on the far and alt right, are crazy and out of touch with American history, law, Constitution, and decency, just like Trump.

We are not going to like what they turn into. Hate cannot be destroyed it can only be transformed.

Just when we were beginning to appreciate that the tea party is dead, the anti-political party, party surfaces and pushes the self-destruct button.The GOP did the same thing a few decades ago with the "Moral Majority", and before that, Nixon's "Silent Majority". I think that it would be a good thing if they started penciling in their bumper stickers so that they can be erased and reused for whatever the hell they are against next year.

Next year they will be against America itself. I would not be surprised if one of the stupid states like Alabama tries to secede.

Trump has turned Republicans against their own party, yet they fail to realize that the GOP is the only faction in government that consistently cuts taxes and social spending.

It is going to be hard to emphasize with any conservative grievances regarding the economy for those that vote Trump

Once you stop laughing, re-read the O/P.......I for one, and I believe the vast majority of progressive democrats would still have disdain if Trump labeled himself a "liberal".......The guy is scum, PERIOD.

Second, where did you comprehend that anyone is "decrying" the dismantling of the R Party.....I'm actually overjoyed since the republican party showed its cowardice when it embraced tea sippers and far right xenophobia.

Actually they were called by several other names, but I chose the term "know nothing" so you could relate.
