They are coming to him. He is not seeking them out.

It doesn't sound like it.

What are the odds that all three of them would be seeking out Jeb?

Yep. Bush and Kasich want to the “brokered” candidate so they’re both trying to get Rubio to drop out and they’re both offering Rubio something. Then Bush and Kasich are trying to “out” offer each other.

Yep.

Wow, the four establishment guys getting together to plot another path forward to destroying Trump.


Oh but Cruz is the consummate outsider...

Why is Cruz meeting with a man who started his primary race insisting he did not want or need the Republican base???

Here we go....another Conservative sells out to the GOP.

Whatever gets you through the day, my friend.

Sad to see so many conservative Cruz supporters lining up behind the GOP-e like good little lemmings. Your guy has now dispensed with all pretence, but your blind faith in him compels you to march in lockstep anyway.

Cruz has my vote. Let the anti-Trump coalition form. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Yes, the abortion fight is a con game. The “conservatism” of “free trade” is another con too.

Because Ted is a faux ‘outsider’. He’s been bought and paid for. .

It’s weak to compare what Trump might do in some hypothetical future scenario, to what Cruz is actively doing in real time.

Can you provide any reasonable explanation for why Cruz would agree to meet with Jeb Bush and three of the four remaining Republican candidates?

Can you provide a reasonable explanation as to why the fourth candidate wasn’t invited?

Are you even considering the impact of the optics this meeting presents - especially in light of the palpable anti-establishment mood of the American public at this time?

Considering the DC cartel hates Cruz with a burning passion of a thousand suns

But Cruz talks about fighting the DC Cartel but has never actually beaten them, including with the Gang of Eight fight he actually tried to improve so that it could PASS the House, according to his own words. Cruz has delivered more victories for the DC Cartel than he's ever managed to stop.

When your guy's bloody wife is a CFR open borders globalist who received her promotion and a half a million dollar a year salary just 9 days after Cruz won public office, it's time to buy a clue.

Riddle me this - How do you square Trump’s lifelong dealings with the mob?

By pointing out that Trump's "ties with the mob" is a BS story believed only by the media and crazy and or stupid hacks.

Anti-Trump coalition means Mitt Romney selected at the convention. Cruz blew his chances already and has no path to victory. Bush and the GOPe want to get behind Cruz now because the mission is to deny Trump the necessary delegates. Nothing more.

Yes, and yet somehow there are people who think he bats and misses.

The family of that raped and murdered 16 year old girl finally got justice and guess who they are voting for?
