Due the the ‘Republican Hierarchy’ treating Donald Trump like he has leprosy and yet Trump has been saying what all rational Americans have been thinking! We are truly disappointed in them. We are particularly upset with Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz and the other ‘insiders’ of the Republican Party who consistently insult Mr. Trump and have said they will not vote for him. That is a vote for Hillary.
If nothing changes, there are over a thousand of us, so far, just in Yavapai County alone who will publicly leave the Republican Party after this Presidential election and start a new party called the Patriot Party. It will be a very simple concept. The Patriot Party will be solely based on the US Constitution, Federalist Papers, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. We will have a clause in it to be able to excommunicate (throw out) those who do not follow these principles of our forefathers. It will be very public and to the point.
The ‘Establishment’ or ‘Old Guard’ of the Republican Party has made it very clear that they do not represent or care about the majority of the voters who overwhelmingly support Donald Trump. Jealousy? Maybe. Donald Trump says what most of us have been thinking. The ‘Republican Hierarchy’, by their actions, are destroying the party better than the liberals could do. Anyone refusing to vote for Donald Trump is actually voting for Hillary. Are they afraid their ‘insider’ deals will be shut down? Their profiting from ‘paid’ lobbyists who get what they want by contributing to their campaigns might stop? Shame on them.
It has become obvious that their actions are showing their true nature. Greedy, egotistical, spoiled and selfish. We are not just leaving the Republican party, THEY have left us!
All the candidates promised to support whomever was the nominee. It is also obvious that they don’t give a damn about who the majority of people want. Donald Trump.
