The Republican Party is intellectually, morally and ethically bankrupt.

[MineralMan]

That anyone is seriously considering Newt Gingrich or Pat Buchanan as possible VP candidates is more than adequate information to draw that conclusion. Hell, that the party will nominate Mr. Bankruptcy Trump as President is more than enough evidence of that fact.

Let's get on with electing Hillary Clinton as the next President, shall we? The Republicans have bubkes. It'll be a walk-into-the-landslide cinch!

1. My favorite statement on a Gingrich vice presidency...

"If I were Donald, I'd hire a food taster as soon as I got into the White House"

[MineralMan]

2. That'd probably be wise.

What's so funny about the Republican primary race is that they started with 17 potential candidates and ended up with Donald Trump of all people. What does that say about the rest of the field? It's amazing.

And Newt Gingrich? I thought he was dead, for pete's sake.

[MineralMan]

3. Think about it. They started with 17 potential candidates

and chose Donald Trump. As they say here in Minnesota, Uff da! He's apparently the best they can come up with. Done. The Republican Party is done.

5. Trump won't be the nominee.

There has to be someone more corrupt!

6. Trump makes Nixon look like an altar boy.

It's true that Nixon was a crook, even though he claimed he wasn't, but Trump has a long history of defrauding people in may ways, failing to pay debts, suing people to avoid paying debts, filing business bankruptcy to avoid paying debts, and being an all-purpose scam artist. Even Nixon wasn't as morally bankrupt as Trump. And I don't think he ever cheated on Pat, not that women particularly craved him (but who'd want Trump? Ew.).

9. I think Cheney gives tricky dick a run for his money n/t

4. well Trump is trying to make the wedding industry great again

If he chooses Newt, they wll have six weedings and four divorces between the two of them. Thats the gop family values ticket.

7. And they were supposed to be the party with the deep bench!

11. Most Republicans are very unhappy with him.

Not to say a lot won't vote for him thinking we're still the worse choice, but others aren't so sure.

Maybe coax along the idea of not voting at all in the minds of conservatives we know? I'm trying, very reservedly. For those who can't vote Democrat, imo it's the only moral remaining choice.

8. They smell funny too. n/t

10. I agree with everything you say

except I do not take ANYTHING for granted about a landslide!

Nor should anyone else - and I am sure that is what you meant when you said "let's get along with electing Hillary Clinton as the next President."

12. Been that way since Nixon, just a group of criminals that got together

to figure out how to take advantage of the government for their own political gain.

[The Second Stone]

13. Since the post WWII red scare the Republickins have been despicable

as a general principle, with exceptions for the few that weren't. They haven't changed at all during that time. They still hate lefties, still take gifts, still hate the poor, still hate minorities, still hate the American people who are not exactly like them.
