If it’s not Jeb, I guess I’m going with Chris Christie (at least that’s what I think today)
SaintPetersBlog ^ | December 4, 2015 | Peter Schorsch

I just finished reading Eli Stokols and Marc Caputo dispiriting report about the Jeb Bush campaign and how many staffers and top level donors – even those still committed to the former Florida governor – recognize the campaign is in a death spiral.

I genuinely don’t want to believe that. Counterintuitively, I still believe there is a possibility Bush can pull out of this tailspin. And even if he doesn’t, there’s really no shame in remaining committed to a man who did great things for Florida and is, especially since the terrorist attacks in Paris, the most sober-minded presidential candidate.

Yet, as much as I want to believe in Bush, I am not putting (any more of) my money in my PredictIt account behind his candidacy. So which horse do I now back?

Obviously, it’s not Donald Trump. As much as I enjoy the circus, I don’t want to live there. Not to get all Alec Baldwin, but if Trump becomes President of the United States, it’s time to move to Australia.

It’s not Ted Cruz, although he’s as likely as any candidate to end up the GOP nominee. But I feel the same way as Frank Bruni: Anybody but Ted Cruz. I don’t like Tea Party. Cruz himself is not likable enough. And if he’s the nominee, too many of my moderate Republican allies down-the-ballot in Florida will be blown away by no-name Democrats....

And now we know why RINOs have a 'DREAMER' agenda.

Sober minded?
The buffoon is the lone Republican supporter of common core on stage.

Let’s go with feeble minded.

He’s an Establishment Uniparty hack (by his own admission) that will most likely vote for Hillary if anyone but Jeb or Christie is the nominee.

He’s nothing but a wannabe Political Officer in this neo Soviet State that we have been transformed into.

“This country has an abundance of idiots.”

I’d say “over-abundance”.

I’m seeing indications that the GOPe/RNC is thinking or working for Christie being their hoped for dark horse.

"...if Trump becomes President of the United States, it's time to move to Australia."


When this guy gets down there, he can sing this song all day long to celebrate his marvelous decision, which I think we can all agree (except for our Australian friends, of course) is a much better place for him to be from now on:

That's exactly what we DON'T need. Another idiot. Arab-friendly Bush to tell us Islam is the religion of peace and give radical mosques the full kid gloves treatment. I'd rather have a pissed off Trump make them PAY, as we should have done, as George W. Bush utterly failed to do after 9/11.
