In fact, right now I wish they'd both start new or vanish. They're an embarrassment in front of the whole world.
Second paragraph of the article: At a meeting of Republican governors the next morning, Paul R. LePage of Maine called for action. Seated at a long boardroom table at the Willard Hotel, he erupted in frustration over the state of the 2016 race, saying Mr. Trump’s nomination would deeply wound the Republican Party. Mr. LePage urged the governors to draft an open letter “to the people,” disavowing Mr. Trump and his divisive brand of politics.
Last two paragraphs: On Friday, a few hours after Mr. Christie endorsed him, Mr. Trump collected support from a second governor, who in a radio interview said Mr. Trump could be “one of the greatest presidents.”
That governor was Paul LePage.
AND, you have this: But already, a handful of senior party leaders have struck a conciliatory tone toward Mr. Trump. Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House majority leader, said on television that he believed he could work with him as president. Many in the party acknowledged a growing mood of resignation.
wins that position, the other party, even if they have the majority in both Houses of Congress, winds up resigned to it...........that's what happens. If Trump, as a Republican, wins this election, the Republicans in both Houses WILL work with him, no matter what. They don't have to be happy.
I've been trying to tell you all along that the Republican Party isn't the GOP of 'establishment' types who 'go along to get along' anymore. It's time for that party to recognize that the PEOPLE are the ones who are demanding change because they haven't been represented for far too long. Voters are coming out in record numbers for the Republican side.....Dems are actually losing voters by either choice because they are switching sides with their votes or just flat out not showing up. It isn't just the Republican Party seeing a great divide, JP..........
Republicans might have to 'hold their nose', but they WILL get on board.......I can't see the same thing happening on the Dem side if Sanders ever got the delegates to win the nomination. The DNC will NOT allow that to happen even if they have to have HC under indictment as she accepts.
as Republicans..........but they will all know that those seats are pretty wobbly when it comes to their next elections if they are establishment types like McCain and McConnell. People have smartened up and will replace them with true Conservative types or the fear of God will be put into them that they actually BECOME the Conservatives that they should have been all along. Like I said....some will 'hold their noses' out of their own survival instinct but Congress will finally start working like it's supposed to work.
