Be of good cheer and enjoy the removal of one-half of the globalists 2016 objectives; indeed a difficult Rubicon has been successfully traversed. However, do not be naive in thinking one significant battle means the war has been won.
The bloodiest battle still lays ahead.
Jeb Bush has been forced out of the race. It cannot be overstated how significant this victory is in the grand scheme of things. The foundational block, upon which the entire road-map was built, has been removed. However, the GOPe engineers will now shift attention to a scorched earth campaign to benefit their retention of power.
We would all be wise to remember in 2014 Chris McDaniel actually defeated Thad Cochran in the first GOP Mississippi primary. It was only after their initial defeat the GOPe decided to destroy anything that stood in their way - again, the retention of power was the ultimate motivator.
We can now expect those same DC influences, including the entire camp that supported Jeb Bush, the old guard, to work diligently (albeit under darkened cover) to assist Hillary Clinton, and destroy anything that would interrupt their grip on power.
Yes, the GOPe would rather lose to Hillary and retain their place at the trough than to see entry into their cloistered club by the Vulgarian Donald Trump.

Even dickweed said that Trump would not be elected..that is something Tony Soprano would proclaim..not a sitting US president..dangerous times.
IMHO, there’s a very real possibility of the GOP losing not only the presidency in 2016, but the House and Senate as well.
I think the Senate may already be gone, given the treatment of Chris McDaniel at the hands of the GOP-e in 2014 as well as the unbridled contempt for the conservative wing of the base displayed by McTurtle and his minions since.
Similarly, the House GOP, having turned its collective back on those who delivered it a majority and, instead, giving Obama more than he ever asked for, may be held to account by its constituents.
BTTT

Not quite yet. Eggs are in the Rubio+Cruz basket. ANYTHING to defeat Trump, and Hillary is not it.
As always, a well thought out and expressed summary of the current role of government, as perceived and peddled by the state.
I do differ from your conclusion above though. I think they KNOW that diversity undermines cohesiveness, and this is precisely why diversity is pushed. A cohesive people represent a threat to plantation-style government, and so the cohesiveness must be undermined and replaced.
I also don't think the elites care one whit about the total productivity of society or any given nation. Their paradigm is to retain royalty status (under the meme of "democracy"), and as long as they live the life of luxury, the only reason productvity matters is to prevent the diverse public from becoming restive.
Not according to McDaniels, who is co-chair of Cruz's Mississippi campaign team.
You must be getting your talking points from the Liar's Club.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Cruz was chairman of the NRSC during the time McDaniels and Cochran were competing in their primary. The NRSC defended Cochran, because the NRSC supports incumbency. Cruz claims that this was offensive to him, and is one of the areas where he claims McConnell misled him.

One has to infer what one does, from the facts and explanations. Cruz likely has plausible deniability, but to me it looks like he is trying to straddle the fence between establishment and insurgent.
Fascinating. Especially after NV and the affect of Jeb dropping out on those averages. For political junkies this is a year to remember. Thanks for this work, Jeff Head.
BUMP for more great work done by FReepers.
Definite possibility, however, so obvious it would foment revolution.
Glory be Cruz is losing his mess of a campaign. He is horrible. Keeping that liar out of the Oval Office must be the only prioity. God bless trump and Carson!!!!!!!!
“members of Congress are the biggest insider traders on the planet.”
Bears repeating. There is no penalty for insider trading for members of Congress, or so I have read.
Lol. It matters not that Trump has basically lied about everything about himself. . . .
If saner heads prevail, this is the math: Trump + Rubio = majority.
Here's a thought of a source of votes. A lot of Sanders voters aren't ideologically extreme Socialists. They're mad as *ell, just like we are, and angrier still about hillary's campaign against Sanders. A lot of them will either stay at home or vote for Trump. That would not happen if the 'pub is anyone but Trump.
QUESTION:
Since Trump stands to gain most if not all of the delegates in South Carolina, does this mean he has secured his FIRST of the EIGHT state minimum?
I think it does, but I’m not 100% sure.
It thought the whole significance of Caesar crossing the Rubicon with his army was that it would start a war.
I believe Ted Cruz does not see the opening.
In only 24 hours, Ted Cruz could contact Trump and secure 100% the VP spot. In a heartbeat. And...he could cut a deal to be the FIRST choice for the SCOTUS opening.
If he did and endorsed Trump, the Trump/Cruz ticket would unite and BURY the GOPe.
The ironic thing is, the ‘art of the deal’ guy may not see this either.
The...DEAL needs to be drawn up and agreed to secure Trump as POTUS, Cruz as VPOTUS, and defeat of the Georgetown crowd.
Come on, Cruz can’t win this now. But, in only minutes he can be the VP and then POTUS in 2020/2024, etc.
It is only thru a team effort that you can possibly take down the GOPe.
Remember how we allied with the Soviet Union to defeat Nazi Germany.
CUT THE DEAL!!!!!
NOW!!!
The article talks about the unrealistically conservative voters.
The conservative voters that wait in vain for George Washington to run for office.
Literally George Washington. Or Jesus.
Anyone else, they don't vote.
To a lot of these people, Ronald Reagan wasn't good enough. Ronald Reagan actually drank a beer from time to time.
These people clutched their pearls and **GASPED**............ "He's having one of them alcohol drinks!"
I know people like this in my personal life.
I see these people on Free Republic every day.
No candidate will EVER be good enough for them.
Eventually Cruz will do something that will displease them, and they'll go into a religious ecstasy.
That's why they're being ignored.
