THE GOP HAVE A WAY OUT!

It says Donald Trump is the nominee.
So either all claim Soverign Citizenry.
Or Cruz changes his name to Trump by deed poll.

The US doesn't allow name change by deed poll and generally prohibits name changes deemed misleading (as that would be)

A cuckold is someone whose partner sleeps with other people, often with their knowing (and them not wanting it to happen). Basically as people online have gotten nastier and nastier about politics, it's become the go to insult regardless of whether it applies or not.

Yes, all rumor. Broadrick claims that Hillary thanking her for her work for the campaign at a fundraiser was intimidation/acknowledgment of her being quiet. The claims of attacking other women seem to come from a private conversation Hillary had with her best friend about Lewinski after everything came out. She called her some names. Probably called Gennifer Flowers names in private, especially since Flowers was very aware Clinton was married. This is pretty normal behavior for a spouse after discovery of an affair. And despite what people say, a lot of people stay with their spouses afterwards, especially when they seek marriage counseling, which is what the Clintons did after Lewinski (as well as spiritual advice from her pastor and others).

Other than that, it's all conjuncture and hearsay by the usual suspects.

If Donald attacks Hillary tomorrow, it will be a huge mistake. He will lose even more women who have been in her shoes ... and possibly men who stayed with their wives.

Sorry if my answer was beaten- the thread is moving incredibly fast.

They deserve to be heard out on their claims against Bill while keeping in mind the stuff about Hillary are pretty much all over blown or twisted by people who ignore Hillary was cheated on. That she didn't physically attack Bill and Monica (or Gennifer) is amazing considering she was a middle-aged woman whose husband cheated on her with someone the same age(?) as their daughter. Unless Hillary was complicit in Bill's assaults on women she's also a victim (though not as much as Bill's targets) but that part gets curiously left out, or shouted down with claims of her being an enabler or in on it.

Alternately: They have an open relationship but simply won't admit it publicly because there is noooooo chance that America's ready to accept something like that.

A cuck is a cuckold, a man whose wife is cheating on him. More specifically, among consumers of racist pornography, the wife is cheating on him with a strapping young black man.

Consumers of racist pornography demographics line up pretty well with Trump's base, you do the math

Someone posted earlier about the GOP "letting" the deplorable folks hang around the fringes for their votes.

Nuh uh. The Tea Party nutters are pretty much the exact same people, hardcore Trumpists are just the same folks distilled down to a SLIGHTLY higher concentration. And the Tea Party, racist to the core (and big fans of Trump's birtherism, figure) were absolutely central to the GOP's midterm wins.

So no one "let" anyone hang around at all. These people were actively cultivated and sought after and are a core element of GOP voters.

If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you check out the Weiner documentary. There was a film crew embedded with him during his second run at NYC Mayor in 2013... right around when another flurry of sexting evidence came to light. There are several scenes that just show Weiner and Huma together where she's shooting the coldest daggers at him, and he's trying to play it off like nothing happened at all, but I think the most telling scenes showed the campaign team coming into the office and having to do cleanup each time another woman came forward. They really started to despise him for making their job so difficult.

I'd be surprised if somebody at RNC hasn't written up an IFTTT script to flash the lights whenever a new Trump Tweet goes out so they know to get to meet in their designated battlestations.

Yes, I do. I'm saying I never expected to actually see them get to this point this election.

I also absolutely don't think it will actually work. I think they're underestimating how much poo poo an actual GOP civil war is about to cause them.
