In other news, GOP and RNC plan to hand governance completely to the democrat party as “that’ll show those uppity conservatives!”
It's been clear to me for years that the GOPe, despite some disagreements wit the Democrats, regard a conservative takeover of the Executive Branch as a catastrophe to be prevented at all costs.
This is why I support a third party - not as a vehicle for an egomaniac nor as a single-issue vehicle, but as a genuine party that contests all 435 House seats and all open Senate seats, as well as the Presidency.
The problem we have is not that a Jeb Bush or Chris Christie nomination will split the party openly - either of them would lose quietly as conservatives stayed home.
The problem is that a Cruz or a Palin nomination would split the party openly. I think that either Christie or Bush would run as Hillary's VP to "save the nation" from - us.
And, although we could beat that ticket with a two-year, positive runup to 2016, a last-minute "emergency" coalition with the enemedia fanning the flames of panic about the "extreme right-wing takeover crisis" might not give us enough time to change enough minds to win.
Bottom line: If they win the nomination, they expect our support. If we win the nomination, they have no intention of supporting us.
Think Jim Jeffords or Arlen Specter on a national scale.
The split has already happened, and it's permanent. The Bush-Clinton crime family coalition exists to prevent another Reagan. Let's not fool around any more.
