Coalesce around the water boy. Ok, then. Go for it!
The establishment has no come back plan. For them its full speed ahead with any certain loser they can convince to take the fall. The Marxists must survive in order to bring about the One World Government so long sought after by the Bilderbergers, Tri-Laterals, GOPe & other various Agenda 21 types. They are already more than two generations behind schedule. There is no stopping them now...at least in their opinion.
So their whole reason for dropping out would be to stop Trump? Gets crazier every day.
If/when Trump becomes the nominee he better throw his weight around the issue of the Diebold and electronic voting machine ‘irregularities’... put the fear of God into anyone scheming to cheat the vote via electronic fraud.
The Jeb Bush plan of split and sneak is working for everyone BELOW Trump. It is just the public as a body that has told the establishment to engage in a biologically impossible mechanical act.
The coalescence isn’t going to happen, at least not yet. Carson is not an Establishment pick. Neither is Cruz. Neither is Rand Paul. So, you take Fiorina, John Ellis Bush, Jindal, Pataki, Gilmore, Santorum, Graham, Huckabee, Kasich and Christie, throw all the support to Rubio, and you get maybe 35%. Might work in Florida, though probably not. Maybe California. Nowhere else. Trump throws EVERYthing into play, including the Northeast.
I don’t support Trump, but I could see him picking up a stray ironic hipster vote here and there from those who regard him as their “one Republican friend.”
Carson just implodes if you share with people what he's actually said on the campaign trail, so really, the establishment's choices are to back Cruz or just watch Trump walk away with it. Neither choice is acceptable to them.
What an awful time for a campaign bundler... So much money that's not hitting the table as donors wait to see their candidate pick up steam.
GOP voters, by an overwhelming majority, say the Economy is their number 1 issue.
Trump leads on the Economy 60% to 7% over his closet rival in the polling data.
At this point the only person who can beat Trump is Trump. I think the only reason Trump is not doing even better is there is still some fear that he will flame out. Some people still are hanging on to a “spare tire” candidate.
I suspect that if Trump wins Iowa and New Hampshire the band wagon effect will kick in and this will be all over in March 2017
This is actually a correct assessment, and is why it’s to Trump’s advantage for all of the remaining 13 dwarfs to stay in the race until as long as they can hang in there.
I don’t think that even if the establishment unites behind one candidate it will make any difference. And it could make things even worse for them.
Biden IS the dude who can unite them. He’ll easily take Hillary’s votes and part of Sanders.
Well, if Trump can win it all, I hope he starts a whole new opposition party for the constitution loving American people.
At least picking Cruz for a VP would be a good start.
I still like Cruz best.
Cruz is the Constitutionator!!
