Come get your delicious schadenfreude. Some choice quotes.

I don’t want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on winning the Presidency tonight, but she just did.

He can drop out if he wants, Donald. The rest of us will still be working to defeat you all the way to November.

You're a conspiratorial piece of progressive refuse with fewer brain cells than your average supporter has teeth.

Got one dude in there burning his voter registration card...

The hurt is real

Not a big sacrifice when you live in DC, HEYOOOOOOOOOO it's funny because they don't have representation.

 

[Owzers]

They pout now, they'll vote Trump in November.

 

[metalslimer]

They'll vote for him in the end

 

[DietRob]

DELICIOUS

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Are these republicans upset?

I mean this is what they've supported all these years, Trump just bought it up to the surface

 

[EatinOlives]

They'll vote for him I'm the end

This.

Dc has electoral votes. Unless you meant how they always go to the dem side.

Pretty much. My parents are already rationalizing jumping in with trump.

Yep.

 

[Azure Dream]

Pretty much. My parents are already rationalizing jumping in with trump.

There's a lot of people who cannot resist voting for the R candidate at this point, like a local sports team.

I know people are enjoying the implosion of the GOP, but I really do hope there is some genuine self reflection.

Not all Conservatives have contributed to the hateful rhetoric that's enabled people like Trump to prosper. Their party has been hijacked by radicals and it's sad.

Are you talking about self-reflection by the members of the GOP who helped shove the party off this cliff, or the people like me who are reveling in the schadenfreude of said implosion?

That party has been held together by hate. Not everyone is a hateful asshole, but they've sure as hell had no problem voting for hateful assholes until someone came out and stopped using dogwhistles to signal their hate.

Ugh.

I'm going to be very relieved if (when?) Trump nominates a white guy as his VP.

Members of the GOP.

It wasn't hijacked, someone just decided to be honest with the views the party has had on a slow burn over the past few decades.

[kirblar]

I wonder if the Dems get pulled right a bit via an influx of centrists over the next 2 years or so.

Nation quickly moving left, but it could temper things slightly in a not-so-obvious way.

 

[Future Foundation]

They'll vote for him I'm the end

They had an Anti-Trump/#NeverTrump and he pretty much said that, despite everything he'd said, he'd fall in line behind "the candidate" come election time.

Who's gonna do the self-reflecting? John Boehner? Paul Ryan? Ted Cruz? The Republican party is Trump now.

This is a true statement in 2016 with Trump (and Cruz), 2008 with the Tea Party, and all the way back to 1980 with Reagan. It all depends on your perspective really. The Republican Party has been increasingly radicalizing for nearly 40 years at this point.

 

[boiled goose]

yup. they have been pandering to these demographics for decades.
They have been anti logic, anti education, anti science for decades.

They are reaping what they have sown.

 

[Kusagari]

Watch Trump pick Huntsman as VP

 

[Jawbreaker]

Yeah, until the general when it becomes "WE HAVE TO STOP HILLARY AT ALL COSTS!"

 

[massoluk]

Watch Trump pick Huntsman as VP

No, stop. I don't need to hear this. No, no, no, no, no.

 

[Branduil]

Are these republicans upset?

I mean this is what they've supported all these years, Trump just bought it up to the surface

The problem is Drumpf said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Yeah, until the general when it becomes "WE HAVE TO STOP HILLARY AT ALL COSTS!"

Nah, there's a good possibility many will just refuse to vote. Plenty will do as you said. But the portion who abstain is still significant

 

[gutter_trash]

people are confusing the Republican Base with the Republican apparatus

the Establishment of the Party is not in sync with Republican Base or leaning Republicans

 

[Netherscourge]

They're going to vote for him anyway because they're really just sheep posing as concerned Republicans.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Oh noes the party of old rich white racist dudes is collapsing, what will we do without them

 

[Rebel Leader]

They're going to vote for him anyway because they're really just sheep posing as concerned Republicans.

"Atleast he's a republican"

 

[Cagey]

Not like this, Huntsman. Not like this.

Huntsman and Bloomberg were my top two "my vote for President doesn't matter since my state isn't competitive, so I can cast a write-in instead of voting for the two options without consequence and then get to voting in the remaining races" toothless protest choices.

Welp. So much for that.

 

[fixedpoint]

Got one dude in there burning his voter registration card...

Particularly ironic given that this asshole writes for the Free Beacon.

 

[NumberTwo]

Right? I'm sitting here thinking, this is what put you over the edge? I guess they preferred their party's bigotry and regressiveness to be latent. Donald Trump is the logical conclusion and culmination of all the ridiculous rhetoric and policy pushed by Republicans over the last few decades.

 

[metalslimer]

And a significant portion of these people would have been ok with Cruz who is far worse. I don't have any sympathy for them.

 

[Anoregon]

Leave it to Ben fucking Shapiro to harp on Trump for being a "progressive"

god that dude is such fucking trash.

GOP urged to confirm Supreme Court nominee after Trump win

ALL HANDS ON DECK, THE SHIP IS SINKING AND WE NEED TO GET ON THIS MORE MODERATE LIFE RAFT OR ELSE THE NEXT ONE WILL BE FULL OF GAYS, ABORTION AND COMMIES FOR SURE.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Boo hoo Pubs are pissed someone they can't control is the nominee boo hoo.

They don't give a shit about his policies. All they care about is that he (for now) doesn't give a shit about theirs.

 

[Hexa]

GO TRUMP GO!!!
Establishment Repubs can go cry in a corner. This is Trump's party now.

 

[The Technomancer]

They'll vote for him I'm the end

We'll see. My aunt and uncle were Kasich supporters, and they despise Trump. More importantly the Clinton smears haven't worked. Oh they don't like her, but they don't think she's a criminal she-demon. And they HATE Trump

 

[Dishwalla]

Man November is going to be sweet, even more break downs after Hillary wins.

 

[imBask]

lots of people have strong opinions UNTIL they're alone behind that voting booth
