Oh god it's 3 AM why am I still up.

From Leaving Republican Party, where to?, a vanity thread posted by freeper ShivaFan

This first paragraph is two sentences long, and boy howdy is that a sentence.

quote:

The Republican “leadership” has betrayed me, and for so long, and that is why I voted for Donald Trump. Not just because of what the Democrats and eight horrific years of Obama have been doing to me personally and to my family, not just because of eight years of this pathetic never ending “recovery” that never recovers, not just because of more and more hordes of illiterate aliens and criminal aliens coming over the border to simply overwhelm my vote and my voice by shear demographics, not just because I have to witness the relentless displacement of Americans from their jobs or to watch the one percenters which are all huge donors to Hillary Clinton benefit from cheap labor and open borders, to see our police under militant attack by the far left and by an entire grievance class with their heads full of false narratives and lies, yet the worse part of this ongoing demise of our nation into literally a turd world has been the Republican “leadership” who simply watch it happen while they themselves are toadies of the very same cheap labor interests which donate to Hillary Clinton, as I witness the feckless and spineless Republican “leadership” more concerned about not losing their donor class of cheap labor interests and not losing their seats while they promise everything and then literally give everything to the ilk of the Clintons or Obama, as I watched the Clintons not punished for their crimes but as with the Republican “leadership” more concerned about making sure the law is not for them or the Clintons but only for the people who go to work and then are told lies after lies as this Republican “leadership” betrays me again and again and do nothing, certainly nothing for me, they just are “there” and then give Obama everything, and now the Clintons are more powerful and dangerous than ever and now the Republican “leadership” wants to hand Hillary everything, all the power, just because they are outraged that the Republican base would vote their hopes, the base expressing a voice, and not simply have the “leadership” dictate who will be the “chosen one”, and to watch a complete blurring of who is who where we have come to the point where it is another 20 years of Clinton-Bush, Bush-Clinton, verse my choice Trump, the “leadership” that never leads but only treats me as if I am not worthy of even the slightest respect or voice they give in due reverence to the phony liberal news and media as the same “leadership” parrots the cackles of Hillary that I am a racist, crude, who needs to be silenced, and the “leadership” now so anxious to help Hillary silence the opposition media and our voices and literally criminalize our speech and voice – and …

TODAY was the last I can stand with Paul Ryan. That is it, I hate these bastards now and will so for the rest of my life. Paul Ryan wants to hand Hillary EVERY drat THING and then once again just stand there, feckless, to watch me and mine wither on the vine and WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY YOU POS RYAN AND YOU CHEAP LABOR BASTARDS WHO WE ARE SUPPOSE TO CALL “LEADERS”!

Just as they just stood there, giving Obama EVERY drat THING and did NOTHING for me and even attacked me, so they now want Hillary so they can do the VERY SAME drat THING and she is MORE RADICAL, more dangerous to me and my freedoms, and it isn’t “Hillary” – it is an ENTIRE PACKAGE, don’t tell me “Bill Clinton isn’t running” because drat straight he is and Hillary is a package of all these goons including him and including Jeb Bush and the Republican establishment itself.

Are you kidding me! Today was the end as far as I am concerned. Win or lose, after this election I will leave the Republican Party. I pray Trump wins. But now I need to know – where to?

Please – are there some of you who are Freepers tell me?

Please – can’t some of you, even if you have NO candidate to run nor will for a long time, simply, somehow, form a NEW PARTY? I have no idea – yes it must seem impossible. So many states. But even if it is just “paperwork” where the Party only has a website, no candidates, no money, but is OFFICIAL, a REAL PARTY, Nationalist, where those such as me who have seen Trump betrayed by these bastards, who still want to “carry on” no matter what, but no, no longer, not these Republican “leaders”, these bastards, I will have none of them again. I don’t care about their stupid seats or their local elections, if Hillary gets in and floods us with 40 million more illegal aliens and appoints justices who will destroy my life and loot me, what the hell do I care about Paul Ryan’s drat “seat”, I hope they also all go to hell, I WANT THEM ALL TO GO TO HELL because my country is gone, GONE, GONE because of THEM, Paul Ryan and all the bastards who I will hate FOREVER and want them OUT OF MY LIFE and I hope and pray for their DESTRUCTION just as they left me withering on the vine TO DIE. What? Libertarian Party? Are you kidding me? Look at them. I want a Nationalist Party. Where? How? Are there Freepers out there already planning to make a move, a new party? Please! Please! I am ready. I am leaving the Republicans because after today, that was it, no more, no more insults, no more withering on the vine, in fact I hate them. I hate them. I hate Paul Ryan and all his ilk. Don’t tell me about “local seats”. You never got off your stupid chair to greet me. You only got off your stupid chair to GREET THEM, my enemies, not me. YOU BOW TO THEM WITH YOUR HAND OUT FOR THE DONOR CLASS AND YOUR CHEAP LABOR BENEFACTORS.

Where to? Where to?

So, uh, yeah.

I was registered with the California version of the Constitution Party, i.e. American Independent Party.

They're a big party only because lots of stupid people who want to register as 'independent' inadvertently sign up.

It's not much of a party, and they even have splinter groups within it, but they agree with me close to 100%.

I recently reregistered as Democrat so I could vote for Bernie only as a way to vote against the Hildebeest.

I was going to change back to AI, or maybe truly independent, but I think I'll stay as a Democrat for a while.

I might be able to infiltrate some Democrat events/meetings/cabals, etc. and do more good that way than by trying to shove my way past all the RINOS into a position where I could do anything for Trump.

The California Republicans seem to have tossed in the towel. They are falling over themselves to be kind to illegals and the environment. I'd be a lone voice if I joined back up with the GOPe.

Well, if it’s a nationalist party you want to start, count me out. As a conservative I strongly believe in the federalism and constitutionalism this union was founded on, and which nationalism of course is the very anti-thesis of. Nationalism is, in short, anti-Americanism. Maybe if you’re one of these big-government nationalist agrarian-populist progressives I keep hearing about, you could look into restarting the People’s Party from the late 1800’s - or you could just vote for Hillary, since she supports your big-government agenda.

Let's face it, folks. Freepers are self-radicalizing right now in front of our eyes. Armageddon is around the corner. The country is dead once Hillary is elected. They're waiting for it.

What I personally don't buy is that they'll take the first shots. Freepers in specific, I mean. Do you really, really expect these cowards to do anything? I don't.

No, the first shots will be by someone else, probably a young Deplorable. It'll be way worse if they get caught first, though. Once it looks like there's a crackdown on the right wing militia groups, that is when the serious poo poo starts. There'll be no stopping it at that point. It won't be terrorism, it'll be fighting for freedom.

Things will be moderated somewhat if the GOP embraces the crazies after the election instead of rejecting them, but I think the country won't be served as well by that choice. The radicals need to be called out as radicals.

Tonight, the alphabet channels breathlessly reported “new polls” taken before Sunday’s debate showing Trump behind. On ABC’s Nightline, the large supportive crowd at Trump Tower over the weekend was called a protest. Never mind the happy faces. Hillary was flatly declared the debate winner. The report on the “fact-checkers” showed the zeal of the alleged checkers, who obviously want to catch Trump in what they can call a lie, as they lied about him blatantly throughout the broadcast.

I agree. The elections for Putin and Chevez, while tainted in many ways, were much more fair and above board than this travesty of an “election.”

This election is rigged. The rigged Democrat primary, the super delegates, the Soros orchestrated violence in the streets and in Trump’s rallies, the staggering media bias, the D+15 polls, the GOP sabotage, everything in this nightmare is without precedent and absolutely unacceptable
.

If Hillary “wins” this election the outcome is a fraud and I reject it. In a free and fair election Trump would be up 25 points against this crook. He may be, in truth, for all I know. If he wins he must clean house immediately.

This election is shaping up to be the greatest political disaster in American history. And all because a man who was not part of “the club” wanted to Make America Great Again!

It really is scary to think just what the Republicans have spent so long creating. It won't take long for much more dangerous groups than those Bundy idiots to get rolling if they are angered enough. If nothing else, hate crimes will skyrocket for a while.

I agree. Part of the Freep worldview defines themselves as regretful heroes. As such, they can't preemptively act, that's what the villain does; they can only prepare by keeping their powder super duper dry and shooting dirty looks at suspected liberals.

There may be a few Freepers delusional enough to actually convince themselves the government has secretly already acted through false flags or something, but the vast majority will denounce those few as false flags themselves.

Hell, I just watched one on youtube rant about you know what where hillary did you know what to let those four you know whos die because you know what attacked them. When it was pointed out all his claims were bullshit and debunked by the Republican lead investigative report he demanded that the report was done by RHINOs and was full of holes because Hillary paid them all off.

There's also some parallels in the case of Jo Cox. She was a British MP campaigning for the Remain side in the recent EU referendum. A bloke walked up and shot her while yelling 'Britain First'. it's not clear whether he was referencing the far-right hate group of the same name or just using it as a catchy slogan, but in either case, he'd been thoroughly programmed by sensationalist propaganda that dehumanised political opponents and told him they were enemies of the state, traitors to their people, and other such things that made them seem like legitimate targets for violence. Every country has random nutters, but you guys have random nutters and are awash with guns at the same time.

Well, Prester Jane is also one of those who pointed out just why we're not really in any massive danger of a revolution or anything: by and large, the radical right-wing is afraid to actually kill and die for their beliefs.

You saw it with Malheur, where only 30-40 identified occupiers were ever spotted and the Bundys couldn't claim more than 150. They got a lot of "I'd love to join your revolution, but this darn knee's been bothering me since my high school football days and I'm reliant on Social Security to keep the heat on." It takes a lot of guts to leave behind your comfortable, relatively safe life as an American citizen with full access to government benefits and start shooting black people or federal workers or going Red Dawn and living out in the woods making sneak attacks on gas stations or something.

Of course we're going to see some level of radical behavior after Trump loses, be it a mass shooting at a federal building or another Malheur. But modern America is a generally stable society that's not exactly prone to mass revolts or coups. I'd be more worried if this was Iraq or Thailand or something.

Unless they're going after right-wing terrorists, then cops are just as much of scum as everyone else.

Unless they're not and it's a false flag.

I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I'm running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion.

Can you guess the context without clicking through and reading it yourself? If you guessed "trying to refine talking points for a campaign speech," you're right!

This is an even more astounding reach than the "basement" thing from the other week, or the "she colluded with the DOJ" (on what time do a thing) one from today. This isn't journalism, this is intentionally misrepresenting facts. It's clickbait, only worse.

VA is a state where large portions of the voting population should be motivated to vote for her, just to protect their own pocketbooks.. those in NOVA are largely suckling at the tit of the status quo... they will be the ones who risk losing incomes and jobs should the status quo be upended by a Trump win. So, if she can’t get NOVA to turn out for her and vote, just out of self preservation.... she won’t have turnout in LOTS of other places.

I think WI and MI are supremely winnable for Trump... Only a few more weeks and this is over. Time will tell.

What is the latest on his minority outreach? I have not seen any stats in a while. If he can get 20% of the black vote, he wins easily.

For the record, HW Bush, Dole, and W Bush got ~10-12% of the black vote. McCain and Romney each got about 5% of the black vote. Even without his campaign imploding, I seriously doubt that Trump would have been able to break the 10%ish barrier. As it is, I'll be surprised if he hits 5%, but I'm also very smug and very white.

Polls are wrong because they are not polling the people who are going to vote

They are polling the people who voted last time

A lot has changed

You can not use metrics from last election in this election, especially in a non conventional election like this one

Many factors are not being weighed in these polls

1) Hillary is hated more then Trump, the pollsters rigged this to say the opposite, Trump has broad appeal, but they won’t admit this

2) No polling company wants to show a Trump lead, they won’t get any democrat work, remember, Trump is not paying for any of these polls, the Democrats and liberal MSMs are paying them. Even the Gravis company still wants Democrat jobs in the future. So yes, follow the money

3) Many of the people voting don’t have conventional land lines that polling companies rely on

4) Polling companies are bias, they are just another arm of the MSM

5) New voters or stale voters, voters who haven’t voted in a decade, don’t get polled

6) Polling companies will only poll you if you fit their narrative, A college educated female voting for Trump? Instant hang up, they won’t even record your opinion

Polling is pure BS at this point
. I don’t trust any of them, sure they are fun to look at, and if Trump actually does bump up, they call it an anomaly and change the metrics to benefit Hillary, how many times have they done that so far this election season? Just about every month since July.


60 posted on 10/11/2016, 1:31:54 PM by arl295

There are tiny nuggets of truth in that one. Trump has excited people that haven't voted in a long time, if ever, and oh boy did they sure show up for the primary. They'll certainly show up in the general election as well. And yes, it is hard to deal with a shift like that... but every polling agency tries. Remember that story from a few weeks back about how someone conducted a poll and then gave the raw data to a handful of different agencies to see what they'd produce? There was about a five percentage point difference among the agencies.

The "likley voter" screening is black magic and is different inside every agency. Poll aggregators like 538 compare polls and how they've performed in the past with current results to get a prediction. When a pollster announces a new methodology and weighting, that throws current numbers into doubt compared to their history. One of the major polls, for example, announced that they were amplifying the white male voter turnout in the raw data because of what they saw happen with Trump. They've remained an outlier the entire election season, and maybe they're even correct!

Evidence-based aggregates are the reliable unskewers. If you're doing it yourself, you're wrong. Didn't they learn anything from 2012?

We're going to be seeing a lot of these, aren't we.

the OP posted:

With the recent defection of GOP leadership from supporting the Republican nominee it may signal it's time for the "Freedom Party", as it has been referred to, to emerge. It may mean different things to different people but my hope is it would bring reasonable people who believe in the US Constitution as it is written from all sides to a common banner to unite under.

What say you?

As I've said a lot recently, there are two ways this goes. Either A) the GOP ejects the crazies and they go off and do the third party thing and leave the GOP to die on the vine as they can no longer approach a majority of the US population, or B) the GOP embraces the crazies and the moderates go elsewhere... probably to the Democrats. Without a similar schism on the left side of things, this could be the end of the GOP at the national level. I think too many bridges are on fire for a reconciliation between the two groups.

Why couldn’t this happen again?, if the Republican party has become useless as an opposition force to the liberals , and won’t use Congressional majorities to fight Democrat presidents, then what are they good for??

We will probably always have a 2 party system but they don’t have to be today’s parties.

quote:

To: Boomer

The Republican party was created by former Whig party rank and file, because the pro-business Whig leaders could not bring themselves to condemn slavery, because it was good for business. Once the anti-slavery rank and file left, the Whig party withered.

But times have changed. This time, the Republican party rank and file have begun the process to *purge* the corrupt party leadership. And they have already had some major victories in doing so.

Because of Mr. Trump, the corrupt leaders have unmasked themselves. They are not conservatives, nationalists, and representatives of the people. They are liberals, globalists, and see multinational corporations as their only constituency.

Mr. Trump unmasked them, and while he can decimate their ranks, the rank and file Republicans must purge them in earnest. Booting them out of elective and appointive office.

And purging is the better alternative. A new party just creates weakness in our ranks. To capture the Republican party means that the American people are again in charge of our own destinies.


It will also mean we can take on and defeat the socialist-Democrat party and tear down the edifices they have built, without always worrying of a liberal Republican sabotaging our efforts, standing behind us with a knife, in hopes of betraying us when we are most vulnerable.

Not a troll but you sound like one.

What do you think we should do since many in the GOP has blatantly turned its back on us?

The dem party is the party of criminals and everyone working in it is a criminal. Maybe not every single dem voter is but for sure everyone who works for the dem party is.

Think of them as termites who are working hard to tear apart the foundation and pillars of your home. The problem is we don’t have enough work farms to put them on so they can earn their keep while serving their time - 5 years per fraud. Most would never be free again.

Can you guess the context without clicking through and reading it yourself? If you guessed "trying to refine talking points for a campaign speech," you're right!

This is an even more astounding reach than the "basement" thing from the other week, or the "she colluded with the DOJ" (on what time do a thing) one from today. This isn't journalism, this is intentionally misrepresenting facts. It's clickbait, only worse.

Its going to be a blowout

Everything points that way

The pu$$y tape just energized and expanded Trump’s base, people are finally figuring out that the media just hates this guy and they are starting to join in.

Don’t believe the fake polls, they are cooking the numbers to badly that they just might as well just save time and pick random numbers at this point. Why even bother making the phone call in the first place?

This will be blowout

That is why the MSM/Hillary Campaign are in overdrive panic mode. The numbers are getting worse for her and she just got destroyed at the debates.

Trump wins 40/50 states in November

Our Bible study recently pointed us to the Greek woman of Tyre and Sidon in Mark 7. She was challenged by Jesus when she begged for a miracle for her daughter.

She recognized her low position, not being deserving of His mercy. But at the same time, she asked for a “crumb” from under the table—acknowledging Jesus’ ability to give what she wanted.

I do pray for mercy, while acknowledging I do not deserve the same. He has saved my soul.

In the same way, I pray for this nation, knowing we don’t deserve the same. God is sovereign.

They game the internals.

That 11% poll? It included as likely voters the following:

Those who had voted in 2012;

Those who had voted in 2014;

People under 24 who SELF_SELECTED as being "5-10 on a scale of 1-10 as likely to vote".

It also only included 2 days, not 3; and did not include any survey after the debate.

ALSO...

Transparently the poll is manipulated with: a) a small sample (500); and b) the following ideological make-up:

clinton-poll-8

* Republican and Republican leaners 36%

* Democrat and Democrat leaners 43%

* Independents 12%

By itself that ideological snapshot is silly. Nationally the party registration is roughly 27% (R), 32% (D), and 40% (I) – SEE HERE – However, the polling sample is the least of the issues for this deconstruction.

It was COMMISSIONED by a Hillary Political Action Committee, and run by a firm which already received hundreds of thousands THIS YEAR from the Democrats.

hxxps://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/10/11/media-polling-fully-exposed-about-that-nbcwsj-clinton-11-point-poll/#more-123009

Look, you got to understand the following:

1) Right after the debate (this is AFTER Ryan led the charge against Trump), Hillary demanded her plane take off early so she could start drinking

2) The next day, she campaigned in Dearbornistan Detroit where she bragged to a crowd of a few hundred, about her friend Michelle Obama. (The only Demographic strongly in her favor, btw). Meanwhile, even before the debate, Donald Trump had more people turning out to support him at a spontaneous rally outside of Trump Tower, than Hillary gets at most of her planned rallies.

3) Today, Hillary played at a high school and a junior college in Florida. It did not even merit a video shot on the local news: there were about 50 people in attendance, more or less. It was a high school gym, and she couldn't fill THAT.

And.

She had both Bill and AL GORE campaigning with her.

Her speech was that "how can you vote for Trump, a man who is anti-science?" (NO mention by her, of the "grab her right in the kitty" tape, on the news that I could hear.) Why not?

Al Gore's speech included "Every vote counts."

If she's up by 11 points, WTF?

BUSTED.

I used to work for market research polling firm. It’s not illegal to parse and present polling info in any manner the client wishes. If political clients want a particular result, then they get it. The polling companies usually start to return to realistic numbers close to election day, so they can market themselves to future clients as accurate.

I don't think it's poll fraud.

I think a lot of Democrats are falsely identifying themselves to pollsters as Republicans and then claiming they will vote for Hillary.


And many real Trump supporters are slamming the phone in the pollsters' ears or just not picking up at all.

I think it is virtually impossible to get an accurate assessment of the national mood at this time through a poll. That said, Hillary's vote fraud margin is going to approach 5% this time.

And to have so many people helping her, including republicans, can only mean one thing to me - that she, and all of her underlings, directly answer to satan.

I fear the same thing is going to happen in 2016. This will be the last time in our life time we will have a chance to see a conservative/repub in the Whitehouse.

If/when Hitlery wins, we will never see a conservative get anywhere near winning a national election.

The Trump recording has really hurt him with swing and women voters.
