   Man With the Axe: You have to admire the mentality of a man who — while running for president — announces an effort to defeat his fellow Republicans…

   Wait. Trump is a Republican? I didn’t know. What is a Republican anyway?

   I’ll tell you this; Kasich is the closest thing you can be to a Democrat without carrying the card.

   Cruz is a conservative, and ‘Republicans’ hate him, undermined him and won’t support him.

   Interestingly, when anyone can be a Republican, everyone’s a RINO.

   The party is a launching pad, but once aloft, the candidate can go to the planet of his choice.

   Man With the Axe:Did Trump make his announcement of his plans to subvert Republicans who opposed him because he wants to impose party discipline, as some have said, or because he is vindictive, as others have said?

   Does it matter?

   See its party discipline when its Romney, he of the of the proper ruling class, because hair and chin.

   At what point after his nomination did Mitt Romney advocate purging the party of anyone who had slighted him?

   Please provide links.

   You can you restate your question in a way that is rational, or reflective of the issue at hand?

   You compared Trump’s behavior to Romney’s. I am asking for examples of Romney behaving in a similar manner.

   So, it’s my responsibility to back up your claim?

   Nice try.

   Trump once again shows himself to be a wise and magnanimous statesman.  What a world-class temperament, in the tradition of Lincoln, Coolidge, and Reagan!

   Oh, statesman-like temperament is for Loosers!    Winners run around insulting people and threatening retaliation!

   I don’t expect Donald Trump will actually fund these PACs when the chips are down.  He’s just hoping to intimidate other Republicans who are thinking of not getting aboard the Trump Train.  He made peace with Megyn Kelly and his supporters where calling her a traitor after the first debate.  He’ll eventually forget about Kasich and Cruz.  And if he doesn’t, oh well, his ardent supporters like him because he fights, so they’re getting what they bargained for.

    Bryan G. Stephens: Thought, I think that Romney ran a lousy campaign and did not attack Obama enough. He was my last choice in that election. As was McCain.

    I’ll admit to entertaining the idea of Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich as the nominee, but thought Romney was clearly better than Santorum or Huckabee. I could see someone preferring those two but thinking Romney was better than Paul or Gingrich. Thinking all four of those superior to Romney is a position I’m having trouble understanding.

    I did not see any of them as real candidates.

    So Romney was your last choice from a list of zero? Or were Pawlenty, Bachmann, and Cain more real?

    (am I forgetting anyone?)
