“Nightmare” scenario of non-establishment GOP candidate looms large
Hot Air ^ | November 16, 2015 | Jazz Shaw

With the Thanksgiving break and the holiday season almost upon us (and the attendant lack of movement in election news which usually attends this period) I’m noticing some serious panic beginning to set in among fans of politics as usual. A pair of articles popped up this week which seem to encapsulate the fatigue inside the Republican establishment and the likely misplaced glee on the part of Democrats. The formerly hypothetical question of could one of these crazy people really win the nomination is beginning to solidify into, okay… so what do we do now? (continued)

Uncle Ben? No way.

Actually heard some talking head on FNC suggest that Republican voters may give Lindsey Graham a second look in the wake of the Paris attacks.
Could these people be any more clueless?

The Cheap Labor Express is in full panic mode.

The citizens seem determined to elect a President who will stop them from importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.

Fox News is all in for The Cheap Labor Express. Their job is to try to steer the voters into supporting one of the amnesty candidates. Can’t believe anyone would sink as low as Grahamnesty, though. I thought Rubio was as low as they would sink looking for a Yeb! replacement.

Poor GOPe, their SOP strategy isn’t working this time around. McCain flopped and the base hoped they got the message. Then came Romney and the base stayed home. They made excuses why GOP majorities first the House and then the Senate couldn’t do anything beyond rubberstamp Obama Regime policies. Now, the base is ready to use thumbscrews on GOPe and elect a candidate that can win, actually represents our beliefs, and will stand up for what he believes is right.

Can’t imagine what could be a bigger nightmare — until January 21, 2017.

Why is this considered a ‘nightmare’?

As Ann Coulter said “The only people that want Donald Trump are the voters”

The GOP had better pull it’s head out of its ass

Donald Trump is just stating what most of us are thinking...and many are afraid to say.

Only the media thinks he’s crazy.

Ok GOPe and Demowits, lemme splain it to you. If a non-establishment candidate manages to win the nomination despite all the obstacles thrown in their way, then it will be because that candidate is dynamic and has generated excitement and interest. That is a good thing because it is not going anywhere in the general election. That is not good news for the democrats.

But hey, keep pushing Jebbie and Romney at us. I mean, really it is a good time for another Bush given that the dems have reverted to their blame Bush strategy. Let’s run the one guy that breathes life and breath into that strategy.
