Just where is this "TALK" coming from? Best I can tell it's only the MSM........
Could this be another case of "throwing shit on the wall" and seeing how much will stick?......Nah, they don't do that.
Sorry but I'm not falling for their BS...........
Supporters for Bush and Rubio attended the meeting, according to the Post, and officials from those campaigns did not respond to requests for comment.
“This is getting totally blown out of proportion,” said Katie Packer Gage, a veteran of Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign whose consulting firm is assisting Rubio’s efforts in Michigan.
This says everything. The FACT that Rubio and Bush surrogates were at the meeting needs to be highlighted in the next debate.
Someone, Trump or Cruz, needs to call out the low rankers, i.e.: Bush and Rubio, that they HAD surrogates in that dinner meeting with McConnell.
And Mitt Romney surrogates need to shut up. Romney is a loser. He LOST big time.
I’d like to see Trump and Cruz broker a deal in advance for one of them to give his delegates to the other thus thwarting any GOPe plans. I have no idea whether that’s doable. But I am sick to death of the way the “elites” manipulate the system. That goes for the Democrats in double measure who foisted an illegal candidate on us in 2008 and 2012.
My thoughts exactly.
News flash to GOPe: We the people are tired of having your “electable” candidates foisted on us and then going on to lose.
My personal preference is exactly opposite of the GOPe. I’d prefer either a staunch conservative or a candidate who is chosen by the unmanipulated votes of everyday Republicans. Hopefully the two would be the same person. I would rather see a real candidate run and lose than a Democrat-lite candidate win.
If Bush is the candidate, I will vote 3d party.
Candidates can’t make deals on the first ballot. In most cases, candidates’ agreements aren’t binding on delegates even after that. A lot of goodwill has to be involved.
Third parties are pointless and counterproductive in our system. In the short term a 3rd party would mean democrat victory (which is death at this point). In the long term everyone who was a Republican would move to the new party (or the new party would collapse) and it would be the Republican party with a different name. That’s the way it works, the vast majority of Northern Whigs became Republicans just like virtually all former Federalists became Whigs. The longer the split went on, the worse for the country. Look at Canada in the 90’s.
And there is zero indication of any major constitutional changes coming any time soon.
I’ll be backing the Republican nominee for President. Anyone on the right who mounts a third party bid is a scumbag trying to throw the election to Hillary like Ross Perot.
As opposed to what we have now?
Frankly, I can't tell the difference in ideology between the RATs and the GOPe. The only difference is the speed getting there.
With a 2/3 democrat Congress like we got after the 1912 election, you’d feel the difference. And there would be no bouncing back from the vicious raping this country would get from today’s democrats. 1 more bad SC Justice taking the place of a good one and we’re well phu**ed.
You just described the current situation. I am not sure there is any bouncing back. It may take a revolution.
No, I didn’t. Pelosi and Shoemer with 2/3s majorities would enact single-payer health care, mostly ban guns, pass a new soak the rich economy-killing tax hike, repeal the Taft-Hartley act and outlaw right to work, possibly go after talk radio and try to shut down this website, ect. And wise Latina would give it all the thumbs up.
with president hillary and a 2/3 dem congress, obama could replace scalia on the high court. churches will monitored for saying anything negative about gays or planned parenthood. i will back the most electable candidate.
Anybody “backlashing” over the thought of a brokered convention when we’re still a month away from casting a single vote is frankly stupid. Let the votes happen kids, then see what happens.
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
Wouldn’t it be Stevenson in 1956. And Dewey in 1948
