    They give us daily reasons to abandon the GOP. We should give them their due and leave en masse.

    A most PC way to describe a LIE… Priebus will get a stamp of approval, trump adores the Establishment and cherishes PC and loves the Lie, it is all good, very good when it serves his personal agenda.

    And all the trumpanzees will dance to whatever monkey tune the orange faced organ grinder cranks out.
