1. So Republicans plan to distance themselves from their nomination for the WH? Please proceed!

[emulatorloo]

2. Lots of establishment Republicans on MSNBC last nights

Everyone one of them said Trump would lose the GE. That's why they are going after him.

INMO Cruz and Rubio are just as unelectable. Cruz too theocratic. Rubio too much of an empty suit.

3. And he still plans to block Obama's nominee to the SC?

With the next president likely to be one of the democrats, his argument that the next president should nominate someone is just ridiculous. Well, it's ridiculous no matter what.

4. Becaue in his mind the Supreme Court is way more important

than the Presidency. He doesn't want to lose the Senate the same way he wanted Obama to be a one term President. McTurtle is a fugging loser.

5. Either this is a planted story or the repubs are really cracking up.
