And I think it's because good cons are all based on the victim's need, and the successful con artist is the one, I guess, who can exploit that. I remember reading something about this, that one of the great traits of confidence tricksters is the level that they flatter their victim. -- Alfred Molina

This has nothing to do with the Clintons.

Guess I'll commit to being a "transplanted California liberal" now, they crushed the influence of all the Republicans I liked anyway. And a party rewriting itself around a single person bugs the sh*t out of me.

To bad we were never conditioned to abide a dictatorship.
Never has a candidate purged a party of dissenters of alternate opinion like this since Hitler. Okay, too far, how about Putin? His hero. I wasn't one for this line of thinking until I watched RNC purge get freaking cheered. And somehow called a recapturing of democracy.
So let's just get to the bitter 2016 revisted post-election hashtag now.

Understand what he is and what that means. He will try and be successful and then play golf until he dies, end of story... Nothing more to it.

It is scary.
I ask myself -- how did we even get here?
The last four years haven't scared you. Now that is scary...
Trumps behavior has scared me.
And its getting worse.

Why does he need to fire all the moderates in The RNC to get to that point? 4 years, and then the legacy of the party he helped create lives on in his vision. The one that refuses to work across the aisle out of spite. The one that's fine with a close election and even calls it a landslide. But when they lose by a larger margain than they won it initially, it's a steal. And of course, the new party is free of people to get in the way and tell others to stop crying about a fair election.
I was pushed out of a party I was registered in since 2006. My exodus was cheered. I have only angry 'derangement' left.
Plus, I really don't want to be part of the party that makes a statement with a breathy submissive ("motherly") sounding rebuttal from the kitchen.
Create a new centrist party for "spineless" people that like fence in politics.
