I realize there isn't much chance of Republican leaders choosing Carly Fiorina but she would be the best choice best choice to beat Hillary. Carly is a self made woman. Hillary is a klutz.

Bloomberg/Romney, that’s the ideal GOP ticket.

Well I’m one of those and there is no viable alternative at this point.

And then there is this little thing about actually having to win delegates when Trump already holds a commanding edge in polls, in two waves of primaries that will be done in 15 days. Little nitpicking detail.

This cycle, nobody not firmly and credibly planning to enforce border security is viable.

And the f’n gopE is still looking to take Donald out of contention one way or another. At the risk of losing any semblance of a conservative party. If you’re not part of the ‘club’, you’re part of the problem. They still don’t get it.

Bottom line is that Cruz cannot beat Hillary. She’ll go for free stuff and emotion while Cruz will try to argue logic with people of 75 IQ.

And logic will never get a person out of a position that logic did not get them into.

Only one choice makes sense: Eric Cantor.

Given the heat of the anti-Romney faction, given a choice between Trump and a Romney ticket, what happens?

GOPe is going MAD. When Trump gets the nom the GOPe will run a 3rd party strawman candidate, guaranteed. AS an added bonus for the GOP, throwing the election to Hillary is the easiest way to get amnesty and TPP.

We had 3rd party candidates after way less acrimony in 1980 and 1992. It’s 99% certain it will happen this cycle, IMO.

The Cuban sandwich. Toast on the outside, dead meat covered with amnesty sauce on the inside.
