Their total lack of positive action when we gave them majorities in both Houses fully exposed their lies and lack of commitment to the People. That’s a big part of the reason Trump enjoys such support - it’s a backlash against the RNC and company.

Hopefully Jebbie won’t win a single primary.

Jeb’s problems are the Bush brand is tainted by his unpopular brother and he’s emerged as even less inspiring than George W.

So far he’s attracted very thin showings after a debate in which he couldn’t deliver a knockout punch.

If he can’t deliver the goods, the establishment will begin looking for a stand-in replacement. It has plenty of time to decide on one.

Oh, I have understood this from the get go. The GOPe is trying to ensure we end up with a nominee that won’t get close to a majority of GOP votes. Let us not forget open primaries.

This is why I am standing behind Trump for as long as he continues to throw a wrench in the GOPe’s plan.

Of course. If its not Bush, its going to be someone else.

As long as their man gets around 20% - what Romney got in 2012, its fixed.

That assumes of course the public will tire of Trump once the winter holidays close.

This needs to be posted about once a day, on the sidebar.:)

This same theme runs through what we’re seeing with Hillary.
In Iowa and New Hampshire she’s in tall weeds and get to the green, but who cares?

Hillary not only has global gazillions to spend, her poll numbers outside these two little scandal states, IA and NH, she is rocking along with a 23 point lead nationally, over her closest competitor.

So how do we the people beat this coming convention set-up and rules corruption that has been master minded by the Romney-ites in order to shut Ron Paul up and out?

If no one gets a majority and Bush is damaged goods, they could parachute in Mittens in a brokered convention.

The stakes are too high for them to give up their iron grip upon the party.

The RNC would just as soon stay comfortable for another four to eight with Hillary Clinton in the driver’s seat, than get drop kicked by Donald Trump.

If they can take him out, they can take anybody out. This is about propping up Jeb Bush and the Bush machine. It is probably Trump or bust, in Florida.

Trump speaks truth and he may not be a polished political speaker but the polished bunch are real crap. They seem to be stuck in the typical things you want to hear but will never be done. Trump is the only chance to reclaim America. Believe in what he says he will do and this outsider will select the best conservative Constitutional mind for his cabinet.

The jebbush campaign is probably going to fund Fiorina and Carson as a way to take votes away from Trump. Then, when one candidate weakens, he will attempt to gain support from the weaker candidate by paying off election workers and the campaign debt. I would not be surprised if jebbush is paying for lots of mole campaigner workers at Carson and Fiorina.

Basically, the jebbush will get the other opponents dependent on his money and when jebbush wants them to weaken, they will be caught short and unable to function. His allies and RNC cronies could also follow this pattern.

If GOPe gives us jebbush, I think it’s worth supporting a 3rd party as a means of destroying GOPe. I think that Trump could go third party if he exposes the dirty tricks by GOPe. Trump said that he wouldn’t go 3rd party as long as he’s been treated fairly. That still leaves him an out.

All that being said, this could be some elaborate scheme to get Hitlery in there.

It may look like the Democrats are divided right now, but I bet they won’t be, come January. They’ll all be for Jeb Bush!

Biden may be riding high and hinting of taking Princess Tiger Lily for a running mate; or worse, the princess of Camelot.

Sanders can’t compete with Biden or Hillary, except in silly season polls. He has a crippling who factor. (”Bernie who?”) Biden has formidable political skills and Obama has his back. Nobody has Hillary’s except maybe the desiccated Bubba, who looks like he had a narrow escape from a microwave chamber. I believe when the calendar turns to 2016, the ‘rats will choose Biden by a margin that allows most to cross over safely and vote Bush (or some other loser on our bench).

But as they say in Red Square, remains to be seen.

I think Cruz is the best candidate, but he doesn’t have the inside track. Trump has a lot of appeal, but some of his previous stands on issues make him a real unknown. What does Trump say about 0-care and health care in general?

Some have said the he is a G-man in this area and would support some sort of single payer commie care.

Bernie won’t get the nod from the Dems, that is why they need Biden. Hillary is so bad that the power brokers who only want a Hillary/Bush outcome need another acceptable candidate who will allow them to pull the strings.

I don’t doubt that the GOPe are doing everything possible to get a controllable candidate nominated. But so far its just not working. If we can just get Trump nominated IMO he will win the general election in a landslide and then those quislings in the Congress will have to work with him. Things will change.

“I predict that prior to Florida Chris Christie will be the attack dog for Jeb Bush as Christie positions himself favorably with the GOP apparatus. Similarly, when the race reaches Florida Marco Rubio will take that role... Rubio would split the Walker/Cruz constituents... This will position Rubio to be the ultimate decision-maker/power-broker in Florida AND provides him the ultimate opportunity to repay his friend, colleague and father-like mentor, Jeb Bush. [Rubio is also hoping for the VP for Bush as a consolation prize.]”

Ugh, makes Rubio even more disgusting than I already thought.

I can see a Cabinet post for Rubio in a Bush III Administration.

The 12th Amendment prohibits a VP from coming from the same state as the P.
