    If you understand the swamp or the establishment types in Congress then you should understand that is who the American people are voting against.

    And, none of that is the reason Republicans have no power in California.
    If you believe Kasich only won because of progressive politics then what does that say about Ohio? Would you rather lose the Governorship of Ohio and control of the state legislature in exchange for running what you believe to be ideologically pure candidates?

    Here's what the article says:

    The Ohio businessman has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and groups over the years, including giving $250,000 to a super PAC backing Sen. Rob Portman's (R) reelection campaign in 2016 and nearly $70,000 to GOP committees and candidates in Ohio and other states, the Dispatch noted.

    Who are all these anti-swamp candidates that aren't in state houses now around the country because Wexler supposedly donated to establishment Republicans?

    My point was, due to Kasich's progressive polices and talk of choosing a Democrat for his VP, he was only able to carry one out of the 50 states in this Country.

    This really doesn't say anything about Ohio most candidates ALWAYS carry their home state.

    I think the exception was Ol' Slick.

    I don't believe we will lose the Governorship, so to say.

    The American people are voting against these establishment types as evidenced by Trump's victory.

    Keep in mind there is a reason Kasich is not running for re-election in Ohio.

    Again ....

    I am not familiar with Ohio local politics and do not know anything about these candiates.

    But, this guy is clearly a neverTrumper and I assure you, I am NOT wrong in my assessment.

    This isn't about Kasich's run for President. Wexler spent a bunch of money helping Republicans get elected in Ohio and other states. Not sure why your sole focus is on the 2016 Presidential election when this guy has donated for years to candidates in state houses and you're saying we don't need his money.

    So what if he is? So unless he supports Trump his money is not good for any other Republicans around the country? Good lord dude. I hope you don't have power within the party because we would be out of power like the Democrats.

    Clearly ....

    You do not understand what is going on in the Party.

    I am not sure why you are so hung up on Trump and cannot see that the American people are rejecting the establishment GOP.

    Regardless of who that may be or what level of office they are running for.

    " Should we not want people donating to the party? " c #6
    That depends upon multiple factors:
    - who
    - how much
    - what do they expect in return

    Trump's tax cuts was a gift to the donor class. Trump has given them a huge gift, and sent the bill to the grand-kids.
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    Hello, Red Cow. Which anti-establishment Republican is your favorite after Trump?

    The American people aren't doing anything. We just signed one of the most massive spending bills during a supposed booking economy. Where are these "anti establishment" types the American people supposedly support? That's what the tea party was supposed to be about and now look at us. The phrase anti establishment means nothing because once in office they are establishment. The same goes for Trump.

    listen to the caw of the wacko, crow

    fact is when any party loses a large donor it's a bad thing, every time

    the flagging GOP House races need all the money they can get, especially in Ohio

    the republican party is dead. they folded like a Walmart tent as soon as they faced trump. Mcconnell and Ryan headed for the bunkers and have not been heard of since. there are plenty of ex Repubs who hate Daffy, but are silent. Repubs that stay with him will get blood on themselves. Daffy will not go quietly. Bu a good chance it will be in handcuffs,.

    Speaking of this board specifically there have been calls for over a decade that the Republican Party has been dead. Might as well keep doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on the proclamation
