‘Top GOP Senator’ To ABC News: If Romney Loses Michigan, ‘He Will Publicly Call’ For Jeb Bush
Mediaite ^ | February 18th | Frances Martel

Posted on 02/26/2012 6:35:08 PM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing

For those out there loving the current Republican race but worrying that it has become somewhat orthodox in appearance and stable in candidates and support numbers, fear not: ABC News’ Jonathan Karl has the blind item for you. In the most mysterious and, for the GOP, worrisome dispatch on the Republican field in a while, Karl reports that a “prominent Republican senator” told him that the Party will not stand for a Mitt Romney loss in Michigan, and that he expects a result like that to lead the Senator to “publicly call for the party to find a new candidate,” likely former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

The GOP “Elites” are as much the enemy to this country as are the The Marxist-In-Cheif, and the Communist Democratic Party!

The elites have learned nothing from Novmeber 2010, or the current condition of Mittens!

FUJB, FUMM; and a really BIG...FUBO!

So GOP primary voters turn down Romney because he's not a conservative and the GOP's plan to address their concerns involves trotting out yet another Bush - this one the least conservative of all?

I have trouble believing that even the GOP leadership could be this out of touch or this crazy.

Is this another story or the one from days ago? They don't want Newt at any costs.

People in Florida do not like Jeb as the people are made to believe. He was at one time a fighter against the libs here; then under pressure, he did like his brother and dad did/cave to the libs so they would like him more/tho, they about destroyed him.

OK, this is a game my Mom used to play when I was a kid. If you don’t eat your peas for dinner, I’m going to feed you liver for breakfast!

They’re trying to scare people into accepting Mitt because the alternative (Bush-3) would be worse.

RINO’s need to start their own party.

It is too late for anyone to get in the race and if the convention is split I certainly hope we don’t end up with some moderate who isn’t even running. I wouldn’t mind seeing DeMint or Palin get the nod, of course.

One could see this coming.....they are in panic mode, all due to Rick Santorum and to a lesster extent Newt Gingrich; their guy just cannot stand up to it; well, I say, to H*LL wit these bastardis with their "coronation from on high" business. Full REVOLT.

CONSERVATIVE THIRD PARTY TIME then, if they want to ignore the will of the base. They cannot win without them, WE in turn can with without them.

I was looking for something last week, and found I still have a couple Palin bumper stickers.

I’m truly considering putting one back on my vehicle.

If the goal is to nominate a moderate, I do not see Romney dropping out as the optimal strategy for that end. It would be really easy for Santorum or Gingrich to get a majority then.

California’s filing deadline is March 10 or March 14 (for US Senate/US House candidates; I’m assuming it’s the same for President). It would be really hard for Jeb Bush or anyone to mount a campaign at this late stage.

Now if no one gets a majority then maybe Jeb would have a shot. However I would expect Santorum-Gingrich to coalesce before Romney and anyone else.

They might get that with Ricky’s supporters but the Newt supporters are steadfast.

I hate this whole sham. These tyrants are saying that if we CHOOSE Santorum they will step in and negate that decision? Surely the American people can see how out of control these dictator wannabes are.

Have nothing against Jeb Bush but the “top GOP senator” can kiss my rear end. Like anyone cares what they call for.

Who is this nitwit? McCain?
