GOP insiders: Jindal and Pataki quit next; Rand Paul’s on the departure list too, insiders predict.

Unless Cruz gets some traction, he’ll be gone in the not so distant future too.

How long is Linda going to stay around? And is Gilmore still around?

Who’s gonna get the massive 2% combined.....?

[Gaffer]

Republicans in the POLITICO Caucus

And who exactly would these people be?

[2ndDivisionVet]

There’s a list at the end.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I actually have it on good authority that he is not in trouble. He has the second biggest Super PAC haul and he’s got more individual grass roots contributors than any other candidate as well....and he’s playing a long game. He does well with enough of the big money folks, and he does great with the active member of the conservative base too. No one else really does.

Now, his long game may or may not work - and I’d like to see him get more traction - but insiders tell me to keep an eye out on or around debate 4. I told them debate 3 would be better......but that’s their plan....whatever that means.

[Gaffer]

My bad. Don’t recognize any of them.

[SaveFerris]

Actually you beat me to that question. She’s still doing the GOPe’s work I suppose.

OK, now that was funny.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hahahahahaha! Ted Cruz has more hard money than even John Ellis Bush, almost as much soft money as Bush, campaign staff in almost half the states of the union and is taking in about a million dollars every few days. In contrast, the last I read, Carly had $1.7 million, a miniscule amount.

Normally I like to steer away from the conspiratorial....but the evidence here would indicate there's no other explanation for little Linda hanging around. What's funny is that if he's doing the GOPe work, then SC is where he is to do it...and he's polling just as poorly there as he is nationally I think.

[Lazamataz]

Bout dam time.

[SaveFerris]

There’s just no logical reason for a guy who’s hit 0.2% in some things to stick around.

Especially with the big talk he does from time-to-time.

There’s an agenda. Of course, it’s not like he’s busy doing any real work on the Hill.

"POLITICO Caucus" And who exactly would these people be?

The Republicans in the POLITICO Caucus are one thing; however, the POLITICO Caucus itself is a fully-vested Propaganda organ of the White House.

[C. Edmund Wright]

True, but if it keeps him OFF the hill - then there’s a silver lining to the cloud....

[Jonty30]

I’m glad to hear that, because Cruz is my personal choice.

[DoodleDawg]

Unless Cruz gets some traction, he’ll be gone in the not so distant future too.

Cruz has the financing to play the long game. He can wait out Trump and Carson and wind up with most of their support. When the dust settles, Cruz will be on top.

[SaveFerris]

lol

[Gaffer]

Agree. They wouldn’t really be my kind of Republican anyway.

[C. Edmund Wright]

It’s thin I know.....but in these depressing times....we gotta look for any good angle that’s out there....:)
