Leftist meltdown!
Welcome to the GOPUSA “Open Thread,” a post that’s open to our readers, for our readers. So much has gone on this past week, and this thread allows you to talk about whatever you want to talk about. We’ve had a GOP Debate without Donald Trump, Michael Moore getting cozy with Megyn Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg threatening to leave the country, and so much more. Please jump in, and let us know what you think.

“SINCE MOSt of those somalis are just refugees, HOW ARE THEY EVEN REGISTERED TO VOTE???”
“As i’ve often remarked though. IF BLACKS can get guns (which you need ID for), get bank accounts (which you…” “Unfortunately, i think jack squat, will get done. As we often see, democrats, are ‘above the law’..” “How’s about we send ALL THE supposed refugees from Solmalia, with her..” “Yea, with the Do nothing dept of injustice, and the spinelessness of those in the GOP, i can easily see…”
to bad our republican folks are gutless wonders these days. stand up for our conservative views, explain them and don’t back down.
I like how some of the Fox people announce after the debate that Fox was the winner…..Last i knew Fox was not a Presidential candidate.
I guess they got caught up in all their greatness.
News flash: everyone who watched including Fox News was the winner. Didn’t have to listen to bigmouth billionaire who lies like a rug and diminishes himself with the nonsense he spouts. Finally could see and listen to adult and intelligent people without Trump’s nasty comments. He is trash, very rich trash, but trash nonetheless.
You are entitled to your opinion. So glad you heard what the other candidates had to say; however, IF you weren’t still convinced that none of these candidates promised what you are looking for, you should check out the Democrat nominees and pick one out that isn’t spouting ‘trash’….good luck.

You are right why should anyone pick a republican when they have Hilary a crook, murderer, thief, and all around creepy person to vote for. As for Bernie, you should look up the definition of Socialist.
Great Grannie, I know I know everyone is a winner and everyone should get a blue ribbon and the media never lies……But being a mushroom in the dark does not work for me!
P.S you would not know a news flash if Fox did not tell you.
Way to go guys. way2cool says to Great Grannie “You are entitled to your opinion” and then followed by mg1949 and tag100. commences to slam her for her opinion. I for one do not think that this is the best way to intelligently convey your thoughts. A more grown up approach would be more effective. Just saying……
John45,
Every one is entitled to their opinion as are you & Granny and everyone else..That being said most response’s are usually measured by one’s presentation of their opinion, Such as sarcastic or what ever tone one put’s to their opinion. Way2cool , mg1949 and myself responded to granny as such which were not out of line at all. Now your opinion is different than mine and that is fine, but please do not stifle debate with political correctness…I am sure it makes you feel above the fray but to me it is just your way of limiting a conversation that does not fit your narrative.
tag100:
If you consider common courtesy as political correctness, our nation is in more trouble than I imagined.
I am just advocating presenting ones ideas in a civilized manner. If that is “lording it over” others, then I guess I’m quality.
Every Hillary sound bite shows her standing with her dwindling number of supporters saying “I will fight for you”.
When has Hillary EVER fought for anyone except herself? How can there be people who believe this?
Facts mean nothing to liberals, it’s all about hope. They have no common sense.
I feel sorry for liberals, and so thankful I’m not one of them.
Hillary Clinton is the epitome of the democrat party, her motivations, like Bill Clinton’s and the democrat party is to advance their personal agenda even knowing that their agenda would bring about the destruction of the country. The Clinton’s agenda is amoral with the only rule that guides them is to win no matter who is hurt in the winning and to not get themselves into a position where they can’t blame someone else for their obvious debacles that occurred while they were in office. The democrat party and the Clintons have operated in a rogue manner, the Clintons knowing no other way thus the Clintons and the democrat party are a perfect union made for each other.
As for Fox I am extremely disappointed that their position it to make the debates a reality show with stunts and outside videos. Megan Kelly is just a pitbull for Fox to take out the leaders. Obviously Roger Ails has made a deal with the RNC to take out Trump and Cruz. The following people are off my list:
Megan Kelly
Glenn Beck
Chris Wallace
You are right mg1949,
Megan Kelly, Glenn Beck, Chris Wallace do not seem to understand misinforming people do an injustice to journalism, Rather injecting themselves into the news they should just cover it.
Please feel free to experiment with the formatting options at the top of the comment window. I see that some of you have used them but others may not have noticed them.
For example, you can highlight the portion of your comment that you would like to emphsize and click the B button to make it bold. Many prefer bolding to all caps. It’s easier to read.
You can do the same with italics. Like this to make some words stand out.
I opened GOP USA in Internet Explorer, and didn’t have any formatting options there, either.
I have discontinued recording Special Report after watching Bret Baier trash-talk Donald Trump during his ‘interview’ last week. With narrowed eyes and a cold, hardened voice, he threw sentences at him as if Donald were a dartboard. After the interview, he went right back to being the pleasant voiced BB I have enjoyed listening to every evening since he took over Special Report.
I have been uncomfortable ever since the first Fox debate when he threw down the gauntlet with the first question out of the box. SOOOO very unprofessional were all the questions at the first debate, I was certain there would be changes made before the second debate. Sure, the CNBC gang was unprofessional, but we expected that…I did NOT expect such combative comments from Fox. It’s a debate, for heaven’s sake!
It seems that Murdoch is for open borders and amnesty – and Donald Trump is for building the fence. Well, last I remember, Americans shut down the Capitol switchboard demanding they build the damn fence many years ago…and here we are, still waiting. Congress, the administration (both Bush and Obama) REFUSE to listen to the American people when we say we want a TRUE country with TRUE borders!
Donald Trump is resonating with Americans from both parties because he speaks (and most importantly, UNDERSTANDS) AMERICAN! Thank you, Mr. Trump! Trump 2016!
I am an American Republican Conservative that has a lot of questions concerning our Republican candidates.
Cape Conservative’s comment “Donald Trump is resonating with Americans from both parties because he speaks (and most importantly, UNDERSTANDS) AMERICAN! Thank you, Mr. Trump! Trump 2016!” scares me. Why. When Obama was running, lots of people said the same thing about him. Yes, Trump does meet all the things CC says about him, but at the same time, what are his personal, not political, ambitions? This is where most everyone went wrong with Obama. Do we want to make the same mistake on the Republican side, this time around.
I don’t know. I’d like to find out the answer, but I don’t think Trump will answer it, because I think he is to egotistical to even feel it worthy to answer.
I am just saying….Be Careful
Today the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton. No big surprise, but how can they trust her in the biggest position in the World? Both she, and her husband would tell a lie, if the truth sounded good. Besides that, she is EVIL, and leaves a slimy trail of waste behind her, where ever she goes. I understand the Times is a far left newspaper, but even they should see Hillary as she is, a completely foul individual.
I think the NY Times just couldn’t afford to lose another reader. BTW, they just endorsed Kasich – not surprised.
Regarding the shooting of LaVoy Finicum. I didn’t mean to disparage Victoria Sharp and commenters here and other places. I did, apologies.
Hopefully better said: I believe a plethora of news sources acted irresponsibly – manny showing a pattern. You can’t take at face value a statement from someone soon after a horrific episode. Not that Sharp is lying- I don’t think she was. If I were in a vehicle that was shot, as it was, I would be hysterical. Witnesses are often the worst at giving an accurate depiction.
These news sources can’t give news and commentary leading consumers to “Federal Conspiracy”. But they do. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. They want us to react angrily, combative and looking to blame one another- and “the Govt”. They should show caution, especially without video (at the time) and contradictory statements from another credible witness (Mark McConnell).
Ms Sharp may think it is ok for Finicum to ignore FBI agents, speed away (almost striking an officer), and to approach law enforcement while reaching toward his pocket. I do not.
Remember too that Finicum put Ms Sharp in peril. Ammon Bundy is alive, his vehicle not shot, because he pulled over and surrendered. Finicum is not because he didn’t.
1 dead, multiple others wounded in Colorado Motorcycle Expo shooting, stabbing
DENVER – One person is dead and multiple others were wounded in a multiple shooting and stabbing during the Colorado Motorcycle Expo early Saturday afternoon, according to an official with the Denver Police Department.
At least 9 people were taken to hospitals following the shootings and stabbing, an official with Denver Health tweeted.

GOP, I don’t have any formatting options at the top of the window where I am typing this comment. I wish I did! Is it because I use the Firefox and not Internet Explorer browser?
Thank you for telling me that, oleteabag. I don’t use Firefox and wasn’t aware of that limitation. The webmaster will need to do some research and see why that’s happening.
Do you have another browser installed? If so, do you see them using it? If you are interested in another one Chrome does a good job.
I suppose the greatest item of concern in this open forum, for me at least, is the blatant favoritism on display by the so called news media. The over the top arrogance by almost all of the news outlets in attempting to drive the viewer to their “candidate of choice” is sickening. It is presented as news, but looks suspiciously like indoctrination. It should matter not to any news organization who they, or us, prefer as the candidate of choice. Donald Trump is not necessarily my candidate, I prefer Ted Cruz, but will vote for either should they get the nomination. I’m just tired of do nothing news people who are clearly taking their orders from the power brokers on high on the world stage. We are bombarded with negative stories about something that happened decades ago in Trumps, or Cruzs’ life, but are told that something that happened two years ago with Hillary Clinton, Rubio or Bush, is much ado about nothing. A blind man could see that you are promoting any establishment candidate (Rubio, Bush, Katich, Hillary, et al) over Trump or Cruz. …
Well stated wwskydvr,
I am a Trump supporter but would gladly vote for Ted Cruz if he is the nomination and concur on your assessment of Fox news.
you put out two excellent opinions.
Contrary to what the elites on television say, the average citizen is not some beer swilling hick from “flyover” country. We didn’t just fall off the turnip truck Mr. Ailes, and we most definitely did not emerge fortuitously onto this planet last night, Ms Kelly, we get it. If the thunder of the American peoples anger has not sunk into those thick skulls of yours yet, it will on voting day. Your job is to provide news regarding “all” aspects of “every” candidates record/life for us to make an informed decision. Had you done your job in 2007, and reported on all the disturbing anomalies regarding Barak Obama’s past, the American people would have never voted him into office, and we wouldn’t be facing total financial and moral meltdown right now. Instead, I have to hope my gag reflex kicks in while watching your self promoting and narcissistic actions disguised as news on the television.
The “silent majority,” as that useless human being Richard Nixon referred to, is now awake, and they are angry, very angry. You can either start doing your job correctly, or sink into obscurity, your choice. The people are speaking out loudly with their pocket books and turning you off in ever increasing numbers. And I say It’s about time.
I’m watching the Screen Actors’ Guild (SAG) awards, and after the big flap about no black Oscar nominees, they weren’t taking ANY chances, There was a black actor, movie with a black cast about black issues or black WHATEVER nominated in EVERY single category except the “Lifetime Achievement Award”, which they’d announced long in advance was being awarded to Carol Burnette, and I guess they plan to give it to her in SPITE of her not being black.
But in every OTHER category I have seen so far, there was a black nominee, and–what do you know–the black person has WON in EVERY single category. Now c’mon people. What are the odds? Doesn’t it seem just a little coincidental to you that the black person would win EVERY SINGLE TIME in EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY? If THAT is not a “participation trophy”, I don’t know what is, and if I were one of those blacks being honored/patronized with these awards, I would be insulted and tempted to hurl said award back into their smug, politically correct LIBERAL faces because they had made the entire award MEANINGLESS. Liberals are SUCH cowards.
Well, I stand corrected. Kevin Spacey won Best Actor for “House of Cards”. But that was ONLY because this is the only category so far that did NOT have a black nominee. Oh, and the “cast of” group award for a TV show didn’t have a cast of black actors nominated. No doubt there will be protests for this glaring ommission! How can these black performers NOT know they are being PANDERED TO n this awards show? SMH

I have IE and Chrome on my computer. The comment box appears, but the formatting bar is not included in either. I am running windows 10..

No formatting bar in Chrome, either…
Would love to know GOPUSA’s take on Article 2 Eligibility Requirements for POTUS (and by extension, VPOTUS, of course). I believe the law stipulates TWO CITIZEN PARENTS for this position exclusively, so as not to have any possibility of divided loyalties (Obama is the living embodiment of what they were attempting to avoid). It’s all in the referenced site below– note that there were no less than EIGHT ATTEMPTS to change the wording of the law as Obama’s star began to ascend– all failed, so in the end, they just counted on everyone’s ignorance, apathy, and PC fervor to bring him (and keep him) in:

Love the idea of this post, will definitely post thoughts here that are general as opposed to the specific articles. thanks GOP
Obama administration’s new found friends in unexpected places.
Obama’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton,used her private server to receive information that was discovered to have been classified information and shouldn’t have been received on her private server.
Hillary Clinton and the Obama State Department have found two former Bush State Department new unknown friends who have been Dragged out to take the heat off of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for receiving Classified information on her private server.
“CNN reported ,”Colin Powell and top staffers for Condoleezza Rice received classified information through personal email accounts,…” So, this new information about former State Department Hierarchy using their private servers is supposed to clear Hillary since she did the same thing,
The twisted logic here being used by friends of Hillary and Obama is the same kind of logic that someone who had been charged with a crime might use, Well, Someone else had done the same type of crime,so why are you bringing charges against me. Note, Colin Powell Voted for Obama and his administration and its likely that Condoleezza Rice and her staffers did too its not a stretch to believe that they might try to shield members of Obama’s State Department from charges of wrong doings, its good to discover unknown friends especially when thing have Gone-A-Rye.
Response to John45′ post by sotheseedsofliberty2’s .. June 4Th.2016
John45 posted,.”…. way2cool says to Great Grannie “You are entitled to your opinion” and then followed by mg1949 and tag100. commences to slam her for her opinion.”
A interpretation by others of what you posted might be , John agrees with ” Great Grannie’s thoughts that she expressed, how annoying that others may not agree with them and dare to express an opinion that differs from Great Grannie’s opinions and John45’s.
Your comment is probably true. However, 1. I don’t agree with grannie, 2. I was just saying that a more civil response would be the better way to approach the subject. Civility seems to be a lost art in today’s society. Especially in the current election cycle.
That is what I am saying!!!
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

lookingattheissues comments on the Clintons…JUNE 6Th.2016
Is Hillary Clinton really the one running for the presidency or is she just a surrogate for Bill Clinton.
The Clintons are known to operate and function as a team in promoting their political ambitions and so one is left to wonder if Hillary does manage to get elected president if she will in effect be reinstalling Bill back in the White house and he then would be the de facto president,
Maybe the Clintons are following the example set by Comrade Vladimir Putin of Russia, who successfully used the same strategy to reinstall himself as president of Russia, “…. the Russian constitution didn’t allow the president to run for a third consecutive term…” Remember Bill Clinton when he became president said, We would be getting two for one, referring to him being the president and Hillary.
“Trump is fundamentally dishonest, say GOP National Security Leaders in open letter …MARCH 3Rd. 2016”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/03/02/in…\l
I am amazed that some republicans are so worried about the dishonesty of Donald Trump but somehow the dishonesty of Hillary Clinton doesn’t seem to be of concern for them.
How do these so called republicans place their values on honesty. To these republicans, who either worked for the Bushes or were friends with them it apparently is a matter of who your friends and close associates like or dislike as who’s dishonesty is acceptable in their opinions. The “WASHINGTON POST” in its article reveals the names of two republicans who have openly declared their disdain for Donald Trump and are bent on doing as much damage to Donald trump as they can inflict upon him. The two people listed below in the Washington Post article are anxious to do as much damage to Donald Trump’s image because of their past political experiences and associations with the Bush family.
“The letter stems from a Twitter back and forth by Eliot Cohen, a former State Department official in the Bush administration, and Bryan McGrath, a one-time naval adviser to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign

The Bush family have let it be known that they wouldn’t vote for republican Donald Trump to be President and so its understandable that someone who had been a part of the Bush administration might have a interest in going along the Bushes against Donald Trump. But what about the attitude taken by one of the Bushes who ran for president against Donald trump and some others who were also running for that office. Jud Bush , speaking his thoughts about honesty when he spoke about Illegal immigrants from Mexico, Jeb Bush said, ” Yes, they broke the law, but they did it with love…” So honesty with Jeb Bush was a matter of why someone was dishonest and dishonesty could be excused in his minds eye if done for the right reasons.

Part #3 sotheseedsofliberty2 August8Th.2016
Mitt Romney appears in this effort to get Donald Trump, to be a spoiler and possibly because he is envious of Donald Trumps success so far in his campaign to become president,a effort, by the way,in which he had failed to accomplish. In all this excitement to get Donald trump these republicans seem to have dismissed the record of the Clintons and the damage that they could do to the country if they would manage to get back into the White House but for these so called republicans the ability to do damage to Donald trump is more important to them than the damage the Clintons will do to the country and its people if they get Hillary elected president because of their efforts to do Donald Trump in.
When will Loretta Lynch be investigated
Loretta Lynch, Like Eric Holder, are just part of a former administration who’s main objective was to deliver retribution from those who had never paid their rightfully overdue bill, according to those who happened to have the same skin pigmentation, as those who were held as former slaves. These former Attorney Generals under Barack H. Obama operated as they did with his blessings and even today are sheilded from having to answering for their refusal to press charges against those who were favored by this professed ” color-blind President.” The question asked in this Article,” When will Loretta Lynch be investigated,” When those who are held in the grips of “Political correctness and party loyality finally take their blinders off and can no longer deny the truths about the Obama Administration and their true motivations.
