It works both ways. When has Obama ever compromised with the Republicans, or asked for their (name removed by moderator)ut on anything? After all his opinion is “I won”.

Obama has consistently tried to meet with GOP leaders of the Senate and House. They refuse to even meet with him. This is the fact that Republicans turn a blind eye towards.

Remember when Obama had just been inaugurated in 2009, Mitch McConell came right out on the Senate Floor and stated, “our goal is the make sure this is only a one term president.”

In other words, they hated him from day one.

You may not have to worry for long about Trump’s foreign policy. If he sends someone to Mexico to tell them to start building the wall he may find out what the Mexican drug cartel has to say about his policy when his rep comes back in a box along with a horse head and instructions for him. PLACE HEAD IN YOUR BED!
 
The Republican party is apparently willing to destroy itself to get rid of Trump… It is ridiculous. Unless they come together (including Trump, not excluding him) in unity they will easily lose in November regardless of who is the candidate. They bring in Romney to echo the childish rhetoric of the establishment in hopes this will shift voter opinion. I thought Romney had class, but I guess that is wrong, as well. These beltway guys forget they are suppose to represent the people. They seem willing to spend millions in anti-Trump propaganda in Florida and Ohio to defeat him and tear the party apart at the same time.

If Trump gets the nomination, it is the voice of the people that makes that decision. These neocon establishment Republicans are so intent on salvaging their own interests they will go to any lengths to save their own hides. They reflect their true colors with this ridiculous infighting. Should Trump get the nomination and lose in November they can blame themselves, not Trump. Although I am sure all the finger pointing will be at Trump, Trump is not my #1 choice (and it’s certainly not any of the remaining 3 on the stage last night). In our primary, most of the original candidates will still be on the list and I will cast my vote for one of those individuals. However, if Trump gets the nod in the Republican party, he will get my vote in November.

As far as the 65% of Republicans that supposedly don’t back Trump(for some reason it resurface more frequently as an argument: remember it is divided among 4 of them right now. If we use that logic about 80% don’t like Cruz, 85% don’t like Rubio and 90% don’t like Kasich. It is not like when two of three guys drop out that the remaining candidate will field all remaining votes. Trump will also obviously pull in some of those.

That is really sad but true. Even sadder, Hillary will win. Or Trump will win.

If either of them win, maybe the presidency will lose some of the power it has usurped from Congress?

If Trump wins, he’ll have a GOP controlled congress, but he will also have control of the GOP and those republican members of congress will be running for re-election in two years. They’ll have to compromise with Trump or lose support from the GOP.

If Hillary wins, there will be two years of gridlock, but you’ll see her making regulations and executive orders which will be challenged by Congress in the courts.

It will be two years of conflict with nothing down.

However, if in 2018 the Democrats take back control of Congress, they will go on a spending spree like we never seen before and we’ll see laws passed which will bring the nation to its knees.

Also, she’ll put females in charge of the military, across the board.

It’s not how Trump will make Mexico pay for the wall.

He will make them pay by first, taxing money being sent to Mexico by Mexicans living here in the US.

He’ll then tax US goods manufactured there.

Of course not. Sir Mitt Romney is this wonderful charming gentlemanly statesman with conservative ideals, inspiring virtues and lovely demeanor, who just couldn’t win an election. Not once but twice.

In fact he’s so lovely that he’d rather lose again to the democrats than to suffer the bad manners of a friend who supported him.

Just in my view, if Catholics, probably even 55% of Catholics, had voted for the correct candidate, most closely espousing Catholic values, Romney would have won.

And so on, many excuses can be made.

That’s true. It’s also true that many who voted against Romney that year for Obama are now telling us if we elect Trump the world is going to end.
 
The real reason Romney is speaking out without endorsing a candidate is his hope that he’d be drafted in brokered convention.

Here is an analysis:

nypost.com/2016/03/03/romney-is-too-much-of-coward-to-really-say-whats-on-his-mind/

“He was an incompetent candidate, believing he was going to win until the last minute, when he realized his polls were all wrong. He stood mute as a biased moderator sided with President Obama on Benghazi in the crucial second debate. His computerized turn-out-the-vote operation crashed on Election Day.”

“Yet, save for election or death, there is no cure for the presidential bug, so Romney won’t give up his fantasy. But what he hoped would be seen as a principled stand against Trump was, in fact, a disingenuous and selfish act.”

"His failure to endorse either Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz is most revealing. Romney’s only hope for stealing the nomination is a brokered GOP convention where nobody has a majority of delegates on the first ballot and he emerges as a compromise. "

"Any way you slice it, Romney offers no solution to the GOP’s dilemma. "

His recommendation when it came down to Trump and Hillary is to do a write-in. That tells you his real intention.

Wrong link, sorry!

Glenn Beck is talking about stabbing trump not the producer.

politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/03/glenn-beck-stabbing-donald-trump-220268

“Glenn Beck offered a rather violent answer Friday to what he would have done in the shoes of Donald Trump’s opponents on the debate stage Thursday night, or so it would have seemed.”

“I don’t know what I would have done if I were sitting in their shoes. I can’t say it that way,” Beck said on his radio program, according to audio posted by the Daily Caller. “If I were on the stage, I would have said, ‘Have you been listening to him tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him? I believe these things.’”
Beck then went on to say, “if I were close enough, and had a knife, really, I mean, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”

Nope. It’s about keeping power. The Establishment has run things in the Republican party (at least at the national level) since Bush the Elder reneged on his no new taxes pledge.
 
I heard about this with Beck, if it sounds threatening, I think it should be seen if a law was broken and if so, arrest him.
