“imagine these folks nominating Bush with 10x more support for Trump. Bush was their guy from the start. They’re going to have some real big issues.”
Yes, I’ve imagined that. In great detail. And every time I imagine it, I smile. A conservative actually having a fair to middling chance as a second party candidate AND destroying the putrifying remains of the gop at the same time. Some of us might look at that As a two-fer.
So on that note, let me encourage the gop to do whatever it can to drive Donald Trump from the race for the gop nomination. His comments are abhorrent and an embarassment. The other sorority sisters running can galvanize the base, especially with jebito at the helm. Come on girls. You. Can. Kick. Trump. Out!
You might have missed it but the Republicans had no intention of nominating anyone but Bush.
That was the strategy from the beginning. Nominate business as usual insiders to protect the party brand and their own positions.
They’re bought and paid for and will do what they’re told. And they’ve been doing this for decades.
If things stay as the are, they’ll have no choice but to nominate Trump. He’s certainly does not trust the Democrats or Republicans for obvious reasons.
Good luck!
