Heard on Hannity today that Jindal was either being considered, or his name, at least floated, for Speaker of the House.

An interesting proposal. I sincerely doubt that House Republicans are capable of such out-of-the-box thinking.

I wouldn't mind the choice, mind you, but I'm not holding my breath.

The GOPe will keep as many “splitters” in the race as long as they can. I think Walker bowed out to avoid any more self inflicted wounds to his future prospects, and Perry was just burned out and frustrated.

The party wants the small fry to stay in hopes of keeping Trump, Cruz or Carson from getting a lock on things and keeping Jeb or GOPe pinch hitter Rubio alive.

Seems to be a script for the “splitter” candidates:

1. Get bankrolled by GOPe big money donors

2. Don’t attack Jeb, make conservative noises

3. Attack Trump

4. Watch poll numbers tank

5. Withdraw from race while attacking Trump or stay in race while GOPe switches home state from “winner take all” to a proportional scheme stacked with GOPe delegates

Correct. The guy claims to be an “Independent” yet votes with the rabid liberal RATS.

So Jindal’s absurd and lenghtly rant trashing Trump didn’t bring in a motherlode of new contributions? Always thought he was very intelligent and capable, but he sure used extremely poor judgment on that one.

“Trump hates rednecks and the Confederate flag. He’s made that abundantly clear.”

Trump doesn’t hate rednecks or Confederate flags, he just hates you Nick.

Why would he hate me? Because I’m conservative and against amnesty?

He would make a better President than any of the mental midgets that Team Donkey deployed on the CNN stage earlier this week.

None the less, it's over. Time to pack up and go home.

There is more than one way to look at the departure of that PARTICULAR flag. It had gone up as a symbol of DEMOCRAT defiance, to protest losing Jim Crow. For REPUBLICANS to keep it up there, with the history it had, sounds like Stockholm syndrome, frankly. Stinks that it went down on the excuse of a madman shooting up a church, and that without the GOP rubbing it into Democrat faces who was responsible for the flag having been there in the FIRST place. But there’s two sides to this story.

Trump hasn’t said anything about Dixie flags on pickemup trucks, etc.

Have you given Donald Trump any reason not to hate you? (After all, he may lurk here.)

“Cruz might shift left”

I doubt that. But I’ve been surprised before.
