I'm very excited about Mark's announcement. I respect his opinion more than any other conservative talk host.

If Rush or Sean join him and Glenn, we will have a shot at taking down Jeb.

Some people resent this kind of action by conservative talk radio hosts, but it's important to remember that the Republican nomination process is not written in stone.

The nominee used to be selected in a smokey backroom.

While there is now a nominally democratic selection process, it is merely a fig leaf for a smokey frontroom.

Since before Reagan's nomination, and with the exception of Reagan, the Republican nominee has been selected 2-3 years before the election in a smokey backroom. This candidate has received the lion's share of corporate largesse, and the lion's share of Establishment support.

Meanwhile, conservative support has been fractured between several candidates leaving the field wide open for the liberal, RINO nominee.

Additionally, primaries are now front-loaded, giving the monied candidate an enormous advantage in a battle of expensive television ads. And Republican primaries also allow crossover voting in many states.

So the process is rigged, with only a pretense of democracy.

It's time the grassroots used our advantage to our advantage. The RINOs certainly do. This isn't a college debate. It's a street brawl. It's time we conservative treated it as such.

Exactly right.
I hope he does not have Rubio on that list. I’d lose respect for him.
