Our best hope is for some of the RINOs to stay in the race and split the Bush vote.
If the Establishment gets their amnesty candidate, the GOP is over.
GOP-RIP
Mr. Rothenburg oversimplifies the issue; feminizing the angst we have by stating that we ‘feel’ ignored. What we ‘feel’ is the outrage knowing that the Constitution and our country being sold down the river because a few homosexuals and pantywaists have power in the Republican party.
I, for one, WANT to be ignored...left alone to live my life full measure the way I see fit. I want my country to once again truly be the land of the free and home of the brave.
Funny how he doesn’t mention Reagan’s name and only the date. Could it be he doesn’t want to remind people (especially younger voters) that the most popular and loved Republican President was what he calls an “insurgent”?
Good article until I got to this last sentence...
I could not disagree more...
Jeb Bush knows it's about GOPe party and their money and power structure what that brings to him and not average republican voter cares about...
Money wins elections more than anything else...
If he thought the current GOP isn't his father's party, he would modify some of his positions to attract some semi-conservative voters...
He seems to actually take positions that ruffle conservative voters on purpose...!
One can say that is a strategy to win yellow dog democrats, but you do that after you win the nomination.
He arrogantly thinks he can buy the election...
The GOPe leadership wants massive legal immigration via HB-1 visas,amnesty for low skill illegal aliens, Obamacare to offload corporate healthcare costs, abortion and homosexual marriage so they can finally get those issues off the table,and finally crony capitalism so if you want to be in business you have to come to Washington and pay to play.The leadership will war against any conservative and pour in money to defeat them in the primaries and yet not be too negative against the fine candidates put up by the Democrats in the general .The GOPe keeps going left against it’s base which is the opposite of their voter’s values. The day of reckoning is fast approaching either they start to represent the beliefs and values of their voters or their voters will go elsewhere.Now some of the GOPe will say “so what let them go we got the Chamber cash!” But guess what you won’t have any votes to bring to the table so all those goodies will flow even more to your “good friends the Democrats” who thanks to the votes of the new Americans will have the votes and power to “get things done in Washington!”
The establishment picks are like the Chicago Cubs...LOSERS. It’s time for a real conservative to win, and time for the GOP followers (of Democrats, AKA the leadership of the RNC, Senate and House) to be defeats and leaders to emerge to rebuild the party. I don’t want Democrat light, I want a ‘States Rights’ party.
The GOP establishment of perk-loving, Beltway centrists may need to lose a few more times before they get the message. Apparently, they’ve rationalized away what happened in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Here’s your clue, GOP: Adapt or die.
I think Rove and company see a surge to get a non establishment type and are prepping for a brokered convention where they can put “their guy” in. It jibes with why Jeb seems to be acting like hehas the nomination in the bag.
Nah. The RINO elite has engineered a 39 car train wreck and a brokered convention with Jeb crawling out of the rubble as the winner.
“Party’s History of Establishment Pricks Could Be Over”
Fixed it.
