Virginia Rep. Scott Rigell was one of two sitting members of Congress to recently sign a letter calling on the Republican party to stop supporting Trump’s presidential campaign....This week, two sitting members of Congress, Wisconsin Rep. Reid Ribble and Rigell, signed on. The total number of Republican signatures has passed 120.


Look at the GOP ... sad sad sad .. they sound like children.

Who else did they propose? Ben Carson? ORLY ? Now they are crying.

May actually help Trump?

<chuckle> They might as well be signing a letter saying, "ELECT HILLARY".

Its too late for them to expressly withdraw support from Trump--that is the whole point of the carefully created two-party system. "There is no middle ground. There is no third alternative. You're either with us or against us." Well, OK. That's your argument, Mr. Politician. Nowwww, you're gonna refuse to support the candidate your system arranged? Really?

And, if it had been the exact same system, but a more appealing candidate--to you, Mr. Politician--you would have been singing from the roof-tops about the dependability of the American system, and how all voters should support him, because, you know, this is the most important election ever. (Even though every election since Jimmy Carter has been "the most important, ever".)

Those guys need to be noted and campaigned against when they are up for reelection. Their lack of support for their own candidate speaks volumes that they would prefer the status quo and sustain the good 'ol boy system that's in place now. For the leadership to chastise Trump for not supporting those that would not support him is astounding, and yet he did in the end, grudgingly or not. The tought of Hillary becoming president is sickening to me and if congress does not grow a pair and bock all of her nominees to the supreme court then the transition of this country is firmly on the path to hell.
