20 Things Smart Republicans Secretly Know
Rant Political ^ | April 7, 2015 | David Rackoff

Posted on 12/17/2015 5:03:43 AM PST by detective

Politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle like to say outrageous things. But at the end of the day, we all know that much of it is just a cheap shot to get a rise out of the other side. These are things that thoughtful, smart Republicans know, but probably won't admit out loud. You're not going to tell anybody, are you?

This is an article from April but it is a good indication of how the media and the Republican establishment (aka thoughtful, smart Republicans) think.

Check out number 11.

"The primaries are going to be fun, but in the end, it's going to be one of these two guys. Just like we all knew it was going to be Romney in 2012, this is something we all know in 2016."

I guess I will never be a thoughtful smart Republican.

“Thoughtful” is one of those weasel words used by the leftist establishment to continue supporting their insanity and treasonous agenda.

W wasn't *great* but he was a hell of a lot better than algore or John Friggin Kerry.

Global warming might be real (it's happened before),it's *man-made* global warming that's BS.

Other than that,just more Marxist claptrap.

It’s always more fun when people make relatively short term predictions which you don’t have to wait too long to prove they’re wrong.

David Jack....er, Rackoff is just a closet homosexual liberal. I guess since the media and Democrats are so good at trying to pick the Republicans’ nominee, so are they at divining what’s in their minds.

This isn’t anything ‘Republican’ - it’s just mindless trash.

Sounds like a whole lotta BS.

I put less than zero credence in blogs with ads such as “2 pills to get you ripped” as advertisers.

Scott Walker? Please and Jeb Bush needs to walk on water with a flaming blunt to get the voters off their recliners.

Came across as wishful thinking to me. Useless mental masturbation. It should have been sent to the Onion.

Jeb Bush is still at least an even bet. Or RNC might have substituted Rubio. That would be confirmed if Jeb drops out. All Bush/Rybio i.e. the gopeman has to do is stay in it.

“......thoughtful, smart Republicans.”...............

Name one. Having been long time republicans, we have given up on the party and have turned to independents. The rinos have complete abandoned what true conservatives have sent them to do, represent “We, the people”.

Dumbest list ever. A far leftist view, with no basis in fact. Lets just start with Obamacare didn’t raise rates. I do not know a single person who’s not furious about their healthcare costs, high copay and deductions and removal of options. No one. That includes a couple people who bought Obamacare plans through necessity.

“Smart Republicans” is an oxymoron.
