Scarborough says he’s spoken to top conservatives and all want a brokered convention. He also states as fact that Sarah Palin wants a brokered convention. Your thoughts? Ping to Today show list.

Sounds a lot like RINO $hit to me.....

I wouldn't believe a word out of that jackoff’s mouth.

*sigh*

*facepalm*

Does anyone really think that Joe Scarborough is a conservative or even in contact with party leaders?

Sarah Palin’s time came and went. Put her on the VP ticket if necessary, but a brokered convention would be nothing more than theater of the absurd.

Real Conservatives tell me they wish you would admit you’re a Liberal suck up.

Why are ‘top’ conservatives talking to Joe? Is this their trial balloon? I mean really now, who actually watches Joe? Why is it ‘top’ conservatives never learn and keep seeking the liberal media to carry their water. See now I think the ‘big’ deception is the usage of that word ‘conservatives’, because why else would Sarah Palin’s name be added separately?

I wonder who would come out as the nominee from a brokered convention.

Since when do conservatives talk to Joe Scarborough? Or put another way, how low is the bar to define a conservative the way Scarborough does?

I think it’s more likely that the establishment Republicans are hankering for a brokered convention. Their man Mitt is losing his luster so now they’ve got Mitch Daniels warming up in the bullpen. They’ll do whatever it takes to maintain the status quo.

If Santorum finally emerges as unequivocal front runner I don’t think there will be a brokered convention.

However, if the national GOP winds up forcing Romney, Gingrich or Paul on the ticket I believe there is at least an 80% chance the convention will be brokered. Red state GOP leaders understand Washington is killing the states from just about any perspective one can imagine. They understand Marxist-demrat-controlled RINOs are not the solution, they are part of the problem. They also understand Paul is a first order loon and will not support him.

The guy is on the liberal network. Just a bunch of baloney. Believe anything from that network at your own peril.

Lots of danger there. GOP E more than likely will get their way. They will cheat to get what they want. Phyllis Schafly exposed their dirty tricks back in the 60's in her book “A choice, not an echo”.

Rockefeller wing of the GOP has many ways to shaft conservatives. GOP E can't stand that their boy mittens is losing to conservatives. They'll do anything to prevent another conservative elected. They did NOT like Reagan.

I have been calling for Rush to start a REPULICAN Operation Chaos for 2 months now! I do not want ANYBODY to drop out, was mad that Perry left.

With four candidates remaining, it will still work though. Ron Paul is good for 20%+ in most states that have an open primary, and 12-18% or so in those with caucus or closed primary. Santorum can pull a good 10-15% in the bible belt states, and Newt seems to have momentum and will get 30-35%. That leaves Romney, who probably is capped at no more than 40% max and probably more like 35%.

If we can keep all 4 going, nobody will come close to getting enough delegates to win the nomination and then we can hope the Republicans nominate somebody like Paul Ryan. The RATS under Obama have been spending millions on oppo research, mostly on Romney. If the convention is brokered, all that money is wasted, and the Rats have a very SHORT window to dig up dirt on the nominee.

“Your thoughts?”

I think they are beginning to get nervous about Romney being able to carry the primary. They just want to go ahead and appoint him. A brokered convention will serve conservatives as well as the Republican House under Boehner.

More games of the nomenklatura.
