There are times when We The Serfdom just do not appreciate the ivory towers so needful to our more than equal elite betters, who are also in the GOP.
Election time is one of them.

    The problem with them trying to keep their power is they need to remain relevant. Once you screw over the people who you are supposed to represent, they will walk away from you and with them goes their power (ie. what they receive in our democratic republic from their voters). I for one would form another party before I would go back to supporting the GOP, if they sell out their constituency just to maintain their foot on our necks.

      Why not start an actual republican party and get rid of the conservative party. I am getting tired of them and those that make up the village board where I live. The busy bodies put in an ordinance that I missed about any kind of vehicle or trailer parked on private property that the police have not seen to move at least in every 10 day period will be declared a junk vehicle. So my licensed, insured, and operable second car which I do no drive in the winter and kept parked in my driveway is now at a junk yard.
      I would hope that if the GOP were to crack up that they would vote Libertarian. But that is not likely since neither party has the goal of liberty. They just want to unit and rule.

    I never thought I'd see the day when Alex Jones started to make sense, but the bizarre turns going on in the world today have made me wonder if at least some of his wild conspiracy rants might be justified. The obvious collapse of the GOP, apparently with the willful intent of its elite, and the willingness of the establishment to see a completely unscrupulous criminal not only avoid indictment, but ascend to the national Executive makes the "New World Order" cries sound justified.

    Obama's statement that he didn't need the approval of the Senate to ratify the new climate change agreement, and the lack of outrage over that statement makes me think the sheeple have reached the prime conditioning point.

    Time for the Libertarian party to step up and fill the gap left by the freedom-taking religious and freedom-taking socialists. They need to paint government as the ultimate enabled corporation, and ask the young people why they should send their money to government for disbursement.

    "The GOP's "primary objective" is self-preservation, not winning the White House in this cycle,"

    That has been true in every election after 1984. Conservatives could have won the white house in 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2016, but there was no conservative candidate running for office.
    (No there wasn't a GOP conservative running in 1988, 2000, or 2004 either, just a worthless left moderate statist from the House of Bush.)

      These RINO slime do not care who suffers or even if the country is completely run into the ground as long as they can hang onto their mini-thrones of power and prestige.
      I'm suddenl;y thinking of the Skeksis in The Dark Crystal.

        Problem is that the GOP has been that way since its inception. So they aren't RINO's, they are conservatives in name only. There were some constitutional conservatives promiinent in the GOP back in the 50s and 60s, but they never had control.

          Now that's a good way to put it just as for the left Left Liberals In Name Only suits to match up with Democrats in name only. I don't know what you would call the right except splintered and disorganized but the left are garden variety socialists from RINOs and CINOS through DINOS and LINOS all the way out to well well lookee here Mr. Marx, Mr. Engels, Mr. Lenin, Comrade Sanders, Mr. Mussolini and descendants Benita Pelosillyni, Comrade Clintonie, and Donald The Hun. Donald's along for those who enjoy WWII movies..

            Whoa! Democrats In Name Only! Me old dino likes the concept.
            The Democrat Party I recall from when I was a juvenile dino delinquent tried to block the Equal Rights Act that a GOP with actual guts pushed through.
            Now Democrats In Name only wants to those they once denied equal rights on the progressive plantation.
            DINO . . . . .just looking at it.
            Gulp! No! No! Nooo! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
            The horror! The horror!

        According to whose definition? Keeping it mind it has to be one of the definitions of those times and will not apply prior or after. Some would call him a populist. I prefer to think of him of some one who understood the importance of being loyal to their troops or employees instead of demanding respect earned it.

        Conservative and liberal have been turned into tapioca pudding amd liver mush. Meaningless as far as the context of 2016 is concerned. They elicit no respect nor loyalty but as was said in another thread or two a combination of disgust and vomit.

    We (I am a former republican) were used to be called Regan Republicans i.e. defeat communism, free markets, limited government now were are now call by Rush the establishment.
    The problem is not me but Rush who turn away from limited government to big government statism / populism. For me I could conservable vote for Hillary being Cruz and Trump is no better or Trump is far worst. But do not worry I vote for Bill the Cat or Libertarian.

      Holy crap! You'd think the Koch brothers would at least like Cruz's rhetoric about smaller government.
      For William Koch to say that a corrupt lying dirt bag who belongs in prison "may" make a better president boggles old dino's mind.

        I read it as not so much a support of Hillary as of the fact that, economically, Bush expanded the government more than Clinton. There is a frustration that Republicans talk better but act worse.

        Bush II gave us No child left behind, medicade part D and the "too big to fail" bailout.

        Bush I gave us the Americans with Disabilities Act.

        And, lest we forget, we got the EPA and the endangered species act from Nixon.

        A libertarian, like Koch, has to be frustrated -- as is everyone here.

          Good points.
          You'd think Koch would be also frustrated with the GOP, which he supports with big money, becoming a wimpy wing of the Democrats.
          Such is a reason why Cruz is hated by much of the GOP.
          Of late I've come to dislike Cruz but not because of his conservatism. I can still bring myself to vote for him against Hillary.
