The GOP (Grand Old Party) is now beginning to show its true colors. As the primaries come to a close we see that the leaders of the Republican Party are changing the image of the Grand Old Party to "Government of Politicians."

Much is being said of a contested convention where the leaders of the Republican Party will throw out the vote of the people and choose the candidate they prefer. The democratic process will be completely set aside in favor of the will of a select few.

"Government of the people, by the people and for the people" will be dead and buried by a select few who feel they know more about what the people want and need more than the people themselves.

The GOP is on life support and should they set aside the vote of the majority of the people and choose another candidate, in all probability they will pull the plug and die a terrible death.

People no longer trust politicians and have been given no reason to do so. The Republican Party is giving credence to such feelings.

It is time for the Republican hierarchy to realize they are not to exercise their will but the will of the people.

It has become clear the liberal media is strongly anti-Trump and are using its resources to be sure he will not be elected. The people are speaking by way of their vote but no one is listening.
