GOP operatives are dreading the convention, poor babies.

How did they ever wind up in this pickle?



And meanwhile, some DUers worry that Dems aren't enthusiastic enough about Hillary.

“What’s there to celebrate?” asked Jay Zeidman, a Texas health care executive whose family has been a major benefactor of the Republican Party. “The party has hit rock bottom in terms of leadership.”

“I don’t want anything close to the appearance of supporting Trump,” said Jason Roe, a veteran party strategist. “This ship can sink without me as a passenger.”

For most, the convention’s lack of appeal boils down to one thing: Trump. The New York businessman has shunned the establishment class, reaching out to few of the operatives who worked for his primary rivals and making little effort to bring them on to his team. As a result, many of the Republican ad makers, pollsters, and fundraisers who populate Washington have little desire to witness his expected nomination.

That many of those same strategists remain convinced that Trump will imperil the GOP’s down-ballot prospects makes it tougher.

1. Boo-freakin'-hoo!

2. The rethugs created a monster...

now they have to live with it.....and hoping many Democrats on the down ballots benefit from the shambles the GOP has become.

3. And this was before Crazy Mike Pence was selected

Did I mention that he is really really Crazy?

This Crazy Denier is the future of what exactly?

The future of GOP wet dreamers.

Crazy bastards.

I hope they don't forget to call him "Crazy" as his offer was.

4. Tough _____!

The Republicans brought this on with nobody's help but their own, and I, for one, am rejoicing in witnessing a party go down in flames. They deserve it. Stupidity of this magnitude used to be imagined, but for them, it's real - and its spectacular (Seinfeld). From the lunatic LaPierre, to the likes of Cruz, Palin, Rubio, Christie, Lindbaugh, Hannity, and please, let's not forget the notorious Sherrif David Clark, this stuff is too good to be true, BUT IT IS!!!!!! And, it's hilarious.
So, party on, GOP. Its hard to recall a time in my life when I have laughed so much at the stupid statements emanating from your elected officials, not to mention your "presumptive candidate". I mean, really, really stupid.
I am sitting with baited breath to watch the GOP convention, and only hope that I don't laugh myself to sleep. Unfortunately, all of this drama has made the USA laughing stock around the world. We deserve better.
Someone pinch me, I think I'm dreaming this nightmare.

7. IS sheriff Clarke going to speak?

I really hate him!

[Hortensis]

6. They've been part of a massive betrayal of

their constituency and the principles for which we stand for a very long time. Poor babies indeed.

[NastyRiffraff]

8. They deserve all the ridicule

this convention is going to get. Donald Trump as their nominee is the product of decades of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and hatred of government. They all sold this shit to their base; Trump is what they get.

9. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

10. Their salty tears are delicious.

[Sunlei]

11. Republicans easily shun, ignore & withhold support OF THEIR OWN. People are nutz to vote for that.

[MoonRiver]

12. Bwahaha, poor babies indeed!

[Her Sister]

13. May every minute be as cringe-worthy as the one before! May it seem to never end for them!

My wishes for them this week! Mwah!

Let the shit-show begin!!!
