I think it will be Jeb and Ted!
Thanks Rush for making the GOP-e's job easier, jerk. After 15 years, no more of you for me.
So according to Rush Cruz is a great candidate, but he’s basically got the same problem Palin had so his candidacy will never work. Is that it?
If this is his analysis, I think it’s terrible. Has Rush been spending time in Rio Linda?
NO!
What rush is criticizing is the GOP, not Palin or Cruz.
He has been criticizing the GOP for months for attacking the tea party and anyone associated with it, ie: Cruz and Palin.
He said, and correctly so, that the GOP is afaid of them and the tea party. (which is why the GOP ignores and/or attacks them)
What you are doing is taking the comments literally without context.
If you understand that Conservatives are currently waging and will continue to wage a war of words against the GOP while we try to gain some modicum of control of the party so that we can field a Conservative as the nominee, should be all the context you need to understand Rush.
He said it again today that the days of supporting the establishment candidates are over.
With that.....I will let you think about it..
Are you some sort of democrap implant at FR, or are you just that ignorant to believe what you just said.
Are you able to read that graph? Cruz is ahead of Walker. For now.
Polling and graphs at this stage are meaningless..
The candidates will not all be officially on the slate for a few months yet but the stage is beginning to take shape.
Most of us are well familiar with both Cruz, Walker, Paul and Bush-3 right now, but the rest of the sidewalk walkers are only concerned with the super bowl and deflate-gate.
(note I did not mention Huckabee) I don’t consider another run by him to be possible without major funding and I don’t see that happening.
There are a number of other “also ran’s” that I am not even going to mention.
We will have to see how it shapes up, going into the 2016 primary, but I think I have mentioned the top of the slate.
Rush did not endorse Walker or insult Palin and Cruz. Someone or a group of someones, is trying to make it look that way for their own purposes.
The one major theme the Rush has had for decades now is that Conservatism works, everytime it is tried. Rush used Walker as proof of that in a argument he made supporting his age old statement. He could not use Cruz to do that because Cruz has not done what Walker has accomplished. That is all it was.
Lastly, The GOP is indeed afraid of Cruz and Palin. They see them as populist usurpers, or vocal critics of the GOP and dangerous to unity. As is the tea party.
So stated the facts and the current situation. His venom was directed at the GOP.
It would be difficult for Fallin to get in now. I would imagine she has very low name recognition.
As a VEEP she brings a woman to the ticket. But that is about it. Its not like Oklahoma is going to vote Dem.
How about Reagan?
Walker has done good work in Wisconsin and is a fighter.
He is good on the stump in small doses but becomes monotone and boring when allowed to go on.
He would make a good VP.
Rubio is a degenerate little opportunist twerp who never had a real job in his life.
A snake in the grass that can’t be trusted.
I think that is true, but if someone votes for anyone based on what an entertainer has said, we are in trouble.
You should listen to Rush. You should listen to Beck. Or hannity, or any of the other talking heads. Each one brings something to the table.
But if you base your decision on just what they say, you are a fool. You can listen and learn...and then make your own decision.
Indiana Gov Mike Pence---dedicated pro-lifer.
As a US Cong/man, spoke at the March for Life.
PENCE ON IMMIGRATION---all the right moves: http://www.ontheissues.org/Governor/Mike_Pence_Immigration.htm
Rush has like 40 minutes of commercials for every hour he’s on the air.
Its kind of tough to actually hear what he has to say, it’s getting ridiculous.
The GOP is no longer afraid of Cruz. Koch is taking Walker and Rubio to the WH: it became evident last weekend and this week.
Rush may not actually support Walker over Cruz but Walker - as you see on the graph above - is lagging Cruz but that won’t be the case after this week’s lavish treatment.
You saw how Iowa was spun. Even though Ted got twice the applause and excitement, it was spun as a Walker win all week. Every poll and most articles this week mention Cruz in passing, if at all.
What I’m saying is the establishment is lighting the rockets on Walker/Rubio this minute and if we don’t vet Walker enough, he’s going to leave Ted in the dust with his new mega-supporters.
Rush says the same thing every election.
But if this time is like the rest, he’ll use subtle means to plant seeds of doubt about the conservative candidates who actually believe what they say.
I hope I’m wrong. It would be great if Rush would actually try to help our country with the power of his voice.
But his record isn’t good.
Ted Cruz is going to have a harder row to hoe when up against accomplished governors..
Frankly speaking, we are going to have one of the best slates to pick from in a generation.
As I said, I am not ever, ever going to pay the slightest attention to a flipping chart or poll at this stage. It’s pointless. But if you must, then do, but you are wasting your time.
I will begin to pay attention to them about 3 weeks from the primary.
Yes, the GOP is indeed afraid of Cruz, as they are Palin and the tea party and this is proven by the constant attacks.
The GOP money will likely be going to Bush. Unless something huge occurs to change this..
The something I refer to would have to be that they finally take that fear seriously, but I really don’t think that they will. I think they will continue to attack tea party candidates, Cruz, Palin if necessary and associate them with the fringe right wing as usual.
If they finally get it, things might change, but if they don’t get it, the Democrat candidate could possibly smoke them again.
I like Cruz, I like him a lot.
I highly respect Walker and what he has accomplished.
Mike Pense is pretty good, but I have looked at him before and found his campaign ability somewhat deficient.
But it’s way early....and I won’t be voting for Jeb. If it come to that, I will violate my straight ticket pattern that I have used for 45 years and throw away a vote to one of the independents or libertarians.
If the GOP believes that there are enough voters that will do the same thing as I am planning to do, they might come in our direction to prevent a loss.
If not.....well... Probably won’t make any difference anyway. I don’t think the country is going to survive another 20 years no matter who gets the job. Nor will the rest of the western world unless they can eliminate their debt loads.
Chances are good we will be in a global conflict within 5yrs..
Sorry, but Rush has never gotten involved until after the Primary is over..
In the past, he has supported the establishment republican candidate, the winner of the primary. As he should.
But this time, depending on who the winner is, he may not and has said so through inference.. Did it today.....again.
Just like the rest of us in the conservative camp. he is fed up with these wishy-washy candidates.
But I don’t think he will get directly involved until after the primary as is his custom.
Ummmmmmmm, I think you either don't listen to him and get someone else's analysis, or you are off your meds.
