Well, the last two go-rounds saw liberals Juan McCain and Milt Romney, one too stupid and the other too gentile against Democrats to win against a complete failure.
NOW, we are likely to nominate a liar who is having wet dreams about “working with” the same beloved Marxists he has donated to and supported in the past. You can’t satire this kind of insanity.

[sparklite2]

Even money? I’d take that bet. It would be low balling to say there’s a 70% chance of Trump taking the nomination.

[smoothsailing]

Might as well face it, the folks just aren’t ready for Jim Gilmore.

[alstewartfan]

Maybe we will never be ready for Gilmore! lol

But if I was a guy who observed and admired Trump’s political record, I would rush to the voter registration office and officially become a Democrat, or Socialist.

McCain & Romney NEVER EVER overwhelmed their opponents in primary season polls. The strength of Trump’s poll numbers is why bookies, 538, etc are giving him pretty good odds of winning in general. I will take a WIN even if the candidate is not pure as wind driven snow. In this election cycle no one is pure. They all have weak on immigration issues in recent speeches on RECORDED VIDEO’s. And trust your lying eyes on the video’s.

The ultra-rich donor class must get their cheap labor express. And the career politician must obey their benefactors, to have a chance in the next election.

I don’t care if Trump has 99% support. The man is a brutal liar and trash talker who gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Marxists destroying America. If HE is the best we can do, America will soon be laying on the scrap heap of history.
Guys like Mike Savage has been vicious against those who refuse to put on their assigned establishment blinders, calling all of us “purists” while screaming and hanging up on us. Yeah, anyone who opposes the guy who donated to Pelosi, Reid, Schumer and Kennedy must be a PUUUU....RIST or a CONSTITUUUUU...TIONALIST. Right, Savage!

That would be silly if you live in a closed primary state.

And then I told them I was a political adviser to President Bush.

During that time I wrote a memo telling him how to explain he didn't support Proposition 187.
It was just a bad idea.  California didn't have a right to try to address it's illegal immigration problem.
Not like this.  Who would dare try to cut off funding for all sorts of programs for illegal aliens?

I also told him how to explain that this was all so harsh since it involved so many chidlren.
It was all about being kinder and gentler.

One day my wife went to work for the CFR.  She only worked there five years.
She was only working for the good part of the CFR.
She did sign a document called, "Building a North American Coummunity"
but that was a very Conservative thing to do.

Then one day the John Roberts was nominated for the Supreme Court.
I had preferred several other people, but when John was nominated I praised him.
Why he had one of the most Conservatve Minds around.  So do I.
After he was appointed, he went on to single-handedly hand the nation,
Obamacare.

So when you think about who you want to appoint Supreme Court judges,
just remember that I have the best Constitutional mind around,
and I can be trusted to pick and support the right people.
Why would you want someone who hasn't been tested?

Then one day, I decided to do my best to defeat the Gang of Eight bill.
One really good way I thought, was to propose that we double the amount of legal immigraiton each year,
and then increaase to 500% the amount of H1-B visas to be approved each year.
I submitted two bills, but they were shot down.  Oh, and that was just at the sub-committed level.
The Republican dominated sub-committee shot them both down.
I'm not sure what I would have done if they agreed to it.
I didn't agree with either of these things.  I thought of them as a poison pill.
Well that's what I told everyone.  Luckily not one person noticed I was still pushing the H1-B idea over two years later.
Shhhhhhhhhh....

Then one day, a bill called Corker came to the floor of the Senate.  It had to do with Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran.
I opposed that bill so stridently, but in the end I voted for it, because I found a way to outsmart every Democrats and
Republican except for one who voted for it along with me.  I fooled them into voting for this Conservative bill.
No, they didn't fool me into voting with them.  Only one guy fully understood that bill.
It was me, not the other approximately 99 people.  They were just stupid enough to vote for a Conservative bill.
Honest.

Then there was the time I decided it was a great idea to oppose TPP legislation.
Once again I fooled everyone by voting for support legislation called TPA.
Now that's how a Conservative blocks a bill he doesn't want.
He votes to approve legislation that makes it possible.
Once again, most Democrats foolishly voted with me.

I'm telling ya folks, I one crafty Conservative.

Excellent! 8^)

I agree those are very good odds. I’d certainly give him at least a 60:40 chance of being the Republican candidate.
