5 GOP candidates who should follow Jindal out the door
The Hill ^ | November 18, 2015 | Eddie Zipperer

Posted on 11/18/2015 8:28:28 PM PST by detective

A good looking Indian-American governor decides to run for president. He's a Rhodes scholar. He’s the first Indian-American ever to run for the nation's highest office. If he'd been a Democrat, they'd have cancelled the primaries and declared him the nominee. He'd have had so much press coverage that the national news media would have gone into full TMZ mode and the average person on the street would know that his given name is Piyush.

And he completely forgot that Jim Gilmore is running, but then, so did everyone else.

“What about that Gilmore guy or whatever his name is is he still around? Him and Graham are tied, I think”

Yeah, they’re tied with 300,000,000 or so other Americans at 0%

You know, you keep putting this graphic up but it doesn’t mean $hit insofar as getting Cruz the nomination is concerned. For whatever reason, Ted’s not caught on with enough primary voters to make the show. His best shot is to join forces with Trump and maybe be president in four or eight years. There simply are not enough votes in those who lie below him in the polls to give him the votes he needs to win the nomination. And none of the other leaders is likely to bow out, so there are no large numbers of disaffected voters available to give Cruz what he needs. Personally, I’d like to see Cruz as VP because he will leave Hillary’s VP candidate’s jock strap torn and bloody in the upcoming debates (that is if her VP needs a jock strap in the first place).

You're very astute.

It's just a graphic representation prepared by CR where Mark Levin whom I greatly trust and respect is (I believe) the executive editor.

It's pretty clear that Trumpees are only interested in the obnoxious factor that Trump displays so magnanimously. I'm sure Trump would make a great totalitarian dictator which I don't think anybody really deserves despite how badly you all seem to want one.

Well the GOPe plan now is to split the anti-establishment vote between Trump, Cruz, and Carson but unite the establishment vote with Rubio. It’s a very good plan and might work if Cruz can rise above single digits. Cruz has been getting very nice press from the RINO rags like national review so it’s obvious the GOPe wants to use Cruz to take down Trump.

Clintonista Trump, the phony, will take himself down. He is the new designated loser, which is why he gets all the media coverage.

We saw the same thing in 2008. The media has a new “Maverick” to prop up.

After he wins the nomination, he will be destroyed. So much ammo on him it’s not funny.

“It’s pretty clear that Trumpees are only interested in the obnoxious factor that Trump displays so magnanimously. I’m sure Trump would make a great totalitarian dictator which I don’t think anybody really deserves despite how badly you all seem to want one.”

That sir, is simply your opinion, which is unsubstatiated by any facts. It cheapens the discourse here to call someone a “totatalitarian dictator” without a shred of evidence to that effect. I don’t think any of us here on FR deserve that kind false narrative from you. I think if you were to expose your comments to Ted Cruz, he’d be disturbed that anyone who was a supporter would resort to such an unwarranted attack on a fellow candidate.

I am just soooo devastated by your harsh remarks.

I thought it was pretty obvious that my comment, “I’m sure Trump would make a great totalitarian dictator” was just my opinion. I didn’t mean to confuse you.

Sorry, but I’m not capable of commenting in one syllable words to make it easier for you to understand. It’s above my pay grade.

The only “false narrative” I’m seeing is yours.

“Is that a fact, or just your opinion? </sarc>”

From the tenor of the other posters toward your “little chart.” I’d say it’s the opinion of a number of folks here. I really did like Jane Long’s post to you!
