Band (of consultants) paid on: Explaining Scott Walker

Mr. Walker bought the Establishment plan and he ran the same playbook that the Republican establishment has been using for nearly two decades. That is, raise a boatload of money and spend it on consultants and staff (especially in early states) and then raise more money and run ads in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Take the GOpe $$$$ and it comes with a script to follow. Conservatives saw right through it. It was another pathetic and jaded attempt by the GOPe political class to fool conservatives for support and votes (see McCain/Romney/Jeb/ Rubio, ad nauseum).

Being successfully used by the gopes shows that he is not the man for President. I had high hopes for Walker. I do expect he will continue to be the best governor Wisconsin has ever had.

If Trump gets spooked by a Carson win in Iowa then he is not the man I take him to be and we have no one who can either win the election or who can do what has to be done if elected.

If Trump maintains momentum through the whole process and can get at least 75% of the delegates and more than the minimum 8 primary majorities then the Republican party may decide they have to relent and allow him to be nominated.

Even should he get all that he may not be nominated. Bush can go into the convention having won only eight primaries' majorities in the Democrat voting states that are assumed to be gope gimmes, and doesn't have to win another delegate and still get the nomination because of all those super delegates and, I am sure, because the RNC will reduce delegations by half or nix delegations altogether because of some infraction of the rules that they make up on the spot. Vp>Trump has to win really big to beat that. If he wins majorities in the assumed Bush walkover states he will make it almost impossible for the RNC to justify nominating Bush.

Pray for the unlikely to happen, for the Democrats to have a real contest to keep them out of the republican primaries. Last time the Democrat voters understood that Hussein was the Democrat candidate way before anyone else seemed to know. I knew, but then I am nominally a Democrat and get all their literature and hear what is on the wind down here in Florida, at least.

Agreed! You can tell how disappointed and disillusioned he is, though.

He hates to lose, but he’s got some people around him whom I would like to think will steer him clear of the Iowa mind set, and not make it, the big enchilada.

THE ONLY, THE ONLY THING I’VE HEARD TRUMP SAY THIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN THUS FAR IS THAT HE WOULD CONTINUE ETHANOL SUBSIDIES. WHY? PLEASE TELL ME WHY WE’RE PUTTING THIS SHYTE IN OUR CARS?

Arthurus,

I pray about this stuff everyday.

Did you see the 60 Min intereview?

Best line in the whole interview when asked, “why do you have all these portraits of you on magazine covers on your wall?”

“It’s cheaper than wall paper!”
