It's the "Good Ole Boy" establishment club that didn't show up for the convention.
President Trump broke that mold into tiny fragments.
And It's what the "koine" folks wanted, its what they got and it's still what they want.
That is why his core is so loyal.
They know that is why this establishment coup against him is so ferocious.
He will not relent, he will not change and he doesn't care if he goes down in a fireball.
He will however continue to yell bloody murder about it.

No, the Deep State along with its allies (some of which are in the Trump administration) are causing the mess.
Fake news generated by the MSM, which you have apparently bought into is causing the havoc. These folks cannot deal with an outsider such as Trump who puts America first. I want no part of their agenda --it is wicked. The overthrow of the government is their aim.

LOL! It is incredible how much of a pedestal you put Trump on. After Trump gets done with the Republican party you won't have to worry about RINOs taking control.. or anyone else on the right. At his current pace he is all but handing the House to Democrats in 2018 and the White House in 2020.
But hey, at least he is going to go down kicking and screaming like a toddler who didn't get their way.
Enjoy the rest of the conversation in here. There is no point engaging with someone who is this far gone.
Interesting. In your view I made a complete attack. I have yet to begin. I wouldn't call it complete at this point.
It's not a matter of someone who doesn't support the President. It's the mindset of largely non-Christians who would not mind bringing down the Republic regardless.
You are out on a broken limb.

I am still laughing. Trump can be funny. He wasn't being petulant. He was homorously reacting to the utter nonsense of Hillary. Would you have rather seen him be a poker-face instead when she came up with her whoppers?
Sure, but will he govern? Or will he hurl invectives on Twitter?
At some point no matter how good it feels, making liberals look stupid and hypocritical is not governing.
I was not very supportive of some of his positions but I have to admit Dennis Kucinich was outspoken and generally "told it like it is."
This video is right on the money. And remember, this is the man who held "the strongest liberal" perspective of any Democrat according to MSNBC.

Imagine that! Republicans "falling all over themselves" for conservative candidates. Kasich is a marginal Republican, at best.
Great. Another one of those "principal" voters who backs candidates that have about as much chance as getting in office as the Washington Generals do of beating the Harlem Globetrotters (more hyperbole?), thus freeing them up to ridicule any candidate who (gasp!) wins. If you want to throw your vote out of a window, that's your business, but enough with the condescension toward anyone who decided to back a candidate -- Republican or Democrat -- that might actually win.
More on RINO Kasich
Bully Pulpit: Kasich Says He'll Send Bibles to Enemies of Medicaid Expansion
There he goes again. Ohio governor and Republican presidential candidate John Kasich is thumping his Bible at detractors of his decision to take advantage of Obamacare by expanding Medicaid, adding 600,000 (mostly) able-bodied, childless adults to the welfare rolls. Speaking at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Kasich said:
"I mean, look at Medicaid expansion. You know how many people are yelling at me? I've gone to events where people yell at me. You know what? You know what I tell 'em? I mean, God bless 'em, I'm telling them a little bit better at this. I said, you know, there's a book, it's got a new part and an old part. They put it together. It's a remarkable book. If you don't have one, uh, I'll buy you one. It talks about how we treat the poor. I mean, sometimes you just have to lead."
Kasich went on to say "It's like fighting ISIS, okay?" Leaders don't let the yelling and the screaming determine their decisions, he said.
Right. His fight against conservatives in Ohio is just like fighting ISIS.
I'm just going to be blunt here -- the man is a serial scripture twister who picks and chooses Bible verses to promote his liberal political agenda. Kasich seethes with condescension at conservatives -- Christian conservatives -- who disagree with him while claiming the biblical high ground, but he has no idea what he's talking about. (Or worse, he does know better and he's intentionally misusing God's word to further his agenda.) Kasich has on other occasions defended Medicaid expansion by warning that his opponents would be in trouble in the afterlife:

But remember that "winning" an election isn't always winning in real life. We have a President who is on a greased slide to the political dung heap, a Republican Party that has enormous credibility problems in light of their willingness to cast their lot with President Trump.
Some of us backed a candidate that could have easily won, even though we did not like her at all. The simply reason I voted for Ms. Clinton is that I knew she would be competent in office and that the Republicans could keep her in line. We have endured mediocrity and corruption before, but Candidate Trump's sheer incompetence, ignorance of government and personal instability could do astounding damage to the nation and the office of the Presidency.
We are now reaping the whirlwind.

And the most fascinating thing about the the past election? After all the bluster, hype and shenanigans, it all came down to the same thing as always -- a choice between the lesser of two evils. Being a lifelong Arkansan, I'd argue you don't get much more evil than a Clinton.
Meanwhile, at least you picked a candidate that could win. You know -- committing to one of the two viable candidates that ran last year.
OK, so you chose evil. That's it. Some of us didn't go that route.
Credibility problem with who? Liberals? who cares
I believe Hillary would have clobbered him.
