“Oddly this is what Gingrich did in 2012 and he was driven out of the race by the establishment/mediots for his heresy.”
I do indeed remember.
OH, NO!!
Karl Rove was punishing this week, harrumphing about Trump’s LOW favorability numbers, and now THIS. Rove to the ash heap of prognosticators, please.
Thanks for the twitter link.
You’re quite right, I found myself reading through it with a pleasant smile, one that remains with me, even now.
Gingrich was driven out after winning South Carolina, and the purse strings shut him down like striking lightening.
If the Fox News Channel was wise and pragmatic...it would dump Karl Rove into the Republican “Establishment RINO” cesspool on total incompetents!!!
Anybody know if Beck still has his Trump moratorium over calling all Mexicans rapists? I have a Beck moratorium so I have no idea.
It’s true - the conservatives split the vote and allow the likes of McCain, Romney and Trump to float to the top.
From Monmouth: Favorable, Unfavorable, Don’t Know, Difference(my add)
‘Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush 52% 30% 18% 22%’
‘Businessman Donald Trump 52% 35% 13% 17%’
‘Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker 50% 10% 40% 40%’
Looking at these numbers tells you that Walker is more electable than bush or Trump.
Could be. I actually like Walker... I am waiting to see him ‘in action’ on Thursday
1) Christ Christie should drop out. People know who he is, and more people dislike him than like him. Same with Lindsey Graham and Pataki.
2) Ted Cruz has a high "Don't know", indicating lots of people don't know him yet. His numbers will likely improve after the debates.
3) Scott Walker has high favorable, and has the lowest unfavorable rating of the top candidates. His "don't know" is high, so his numbers are likely to improve after the debates.
They were ranting about Trump on Beck’s show this morning. I think they realize they have to deal with him. They may not like him, but because he is right now, ‘front-runner’, so he can’t be ignored.
Wow....combined.
Christie looks like he will make the A debate... The other two’s poll numbers, be less than the margin of error, are simply background noise.
This is what they are trying to do now....shut down Trump because no only does he threaten the GOPe establishment, but the especially threatens the mediots and their virtual monopoly on what passes for public discourse.
Can’t speak the truth about blacks, muslims, hispanics, illegal aliens, gays, communists, feminists, abortionists, lest it paint them in an unflattering light.
The media will not allow any discussion of a constituent group of the democRAT coalition that does not praise them. The only group(s) who may be criticized with impunity is white men and christians.
The jewish groups started this business in the years following WWII. Any discussion about jews in general was not allowed and any criticism no matter how well reasoned and evidenced was forbidden and branded as anti-semitism. Even it it was a legitimate critique. That was the established template, and it has been expanded to include virtually every quasi-minority group to the detriment of OUR society as a whole.
Now, I am not blaming the jews here, and they as a group had reason to be trepidatious of criticism in the years following WWII based on recent history and where it, if left unchallenged could lead.
But this has metastasized into another more malignant operating principle for all groups on the left. No criticism, and no prisoners. Virtual death penalty for anyone who dares cross that line.
Unless you’re Trump whom they can’t just shut down, because he doubles down, will shout them down, and has beaten them at their own rigged game.
Of course Rove is always right.....
