FReegards to all,
Sargon
The Uniparty has been on a slow march to erase the pretense of the continued existence of the two-party system for many decades. Doesn’t matter which electoral cycle.
The “NeverTrump” people are traitors... where was the “NeverRomney” crowd? that could have saved us...
You and I share a lot of the same ideas.
We are screwed. No way an R wins this fall, too many peeing in the well. If the leaders could join forces they would be unstoppable, but that cannot happen, not after the last couple of months.
Hello President Bernie Clinton.
I can’t disagree with your analysis.
Scenario #2 is out in any case, Cruz can’t win 1237 from where he’s at.
“So that is my analysis.”
Your analysis is right on.
Trump is the only one with a path to victory over Hillary.
I know that makes Cruz people mad, I LIKE CRUZ!
And the GOPe is totally to blame for this.
I would add: they will sabotage Trump, then blame Trump supporters for the upcoming loss to Hillary. And the MSM will play along with that explanation.
We’re toast.
I think it’s pretty good. Thanks for doing it.
“But the real villain in this tragic sequence of events is the GOPe: Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Lindsay Graham, John McCain, Bob Dole, the National Review, and all of their elitist ilk.”
Can we make a motion at the convention to kick them out of the party?
The scenario I see is that neither get the delegates they need. The GOPe will pick their establishment guy and offer the VP slot to Cruz…..to avoid a revolt.
VP’s have no power, they pretty much only serve to gain votes.
The GOPe establishment wins. The game is rigged.
Scenario 5- we’re F*****! I get the feeling we’re being played.
Mr. niteowl77
If the GOP had tried a tenth as hard to stop Obama as they are trying to stop Trump they wouldn’t have Trump to worry about now.
The GOP establishment deserves to lose every single federal election down ticket, we need to be entirely rid of these people. We already know the GOP leadership will do absolutely nothing to stop Hillary Clinton, so why should we reward them with our votes. Just vote libertarian or constitution, or whatever 3rd party is on the ballot that most closely resembles what you believe.
If there were any good whatsoever that would come from a GOP controlled congress I would think differently, but what is this difference with this GOP congress and the democrat congresses that came before it?
The missing ingredient in the core of your analysis is: The GOPe doesn’t want to lose congress, and will once again sacrifice the White House to keep it.
Boiled down: The GOPe does not intend on winning the White House. They intend on losing and will do whatever it takes.
So be it. I was shopping for a party before Trump announced.
It’s time to rally around Kasich. /s
And they are not done yet — they sold out to the Dems for $$$$, to ensure a Hillary presidency.
Just look at this:
GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.
See:
Tech billionaires (major Dem donors) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump
I'm sitting on the rooftop beside you.
On the other hand I am a pan-ist.
I think it will all pan out the way God wants it to in the end.
That gives me hope.
Our Man Ted needs to man-up and understand hat he cannot win alone, under any circumstance. The best for him would be to MAKE THE DEAL with The Donald.
A unified, guns-blazing Trump/Cruz ticket would easily win 45 plus states.
As a not-NBC, it is his ONLY opportunity to save our Republic from Her Thighness.
Unfortunately your whole analysis can be boiled down to “vote Trump”.
I mean, that is all you are really saying right? If Trump isn’t the nominee you think the country goes to hell in a handbasket.
But people like myself who support Cruz see Trump as an utter disaster as a general election candidate. I see absolutely no path for victory for Trump, he has simply alienated too many people. You can’t have 3/4’s of women in this country view you very unfavorably and expect to win. Other than white males, I think Trump loses every demographic. And no, Trump is not like Reagan at all. Let’s put that nonsense to rest. Reagan had electoral experience, Reagan was a grounded ideological conservative and Reagan didn’t spend an entire campaign trashing, belittling, insulting, bullying and otherwise alienating every other candidate in the field.
So you support Trump and your analysis is basically “vote Trump or everything goes to hell”. I mean that is the standard line of just about everyone who supports Trump at a gut level.
