Neil Bush: Trump Can't Survive a One-on-One Race
Fox Business ^ | 3/9/16 | Matthew Wisner

Posted on 03/10/2016 6:14:16 AM PST by jimbo123

As the 2016 presidential race appears to be creating a divide within the Republican Party, Neil Bush (Jeb’s brother) is looking to Ted Cruz to bring unity to the GOP.

“Well, it’s become very clear to me Neil that Ted is the only guy that can unify our party and we have huge challenges facing our nation. I was excited to see that Paul Ryan wants to lay out an aggressive reform-minded agenda and we need to send to Washington as our chief executive a president that is principled, who is focused on sticking to his principles of conservative leadership and Ted’s the only guy right now in the race that’s left, that has these strong, principled, conservative views,” Bush told the FOX Business Network’s Neil Cavuto.

“So you’re only establishment is your last name is Bush??”

No that happens when you get support from McCain. Wait…whoopsie, looks like Tedders has that too.

“McCain”

The other day a “reporter” asked McCain about the establishment’s anti-Trump move. McCain said “Well, I don’t know about the establishment, they used to call me a “Maverick.”

The only thing I remember reading about Neil Bush is when he ran a savings and loan, pulled out all his cash, then watched it go under as everyone lost their cash. Lots of pensioners went to his house where there were four luxury cars in the driveway and begged him for their savings back, or alternatively asked him to give them one of his cars. Bush then made sure all his luxury cars were garaged and inaccessible. Since then he has kept a low profile...probably told by the Bush clan to hide out. Why he thinks anything he promotes (Cruz) would be adhered to by he masses is beyond me.

No, I really don't.

Look, this apparent need to trash everyone who isn't Donald Trump or one of his supporters is a malignancy that really turns me off him as a candidate. Trump himself is openly courting GOP politicians -- all "members of the Establishment", to support his candidacy. And if someone does, it's hailed as a positive, and a sign that he can unify the party.

But if the exact same person were to back a different candidate, then it is just prove that other candidate is "the Establishment" candidate, and unworthy of support. It is the grossest of double standards. If Chris Christie or Rudy Giuliani had supported one of the others, Trump supporters here would be cackling, and saying that proves those candidates are just tools of the Establishment and unworthy of our votes. We all know that's true even if some might not want to admit it.

The truth is that even a President Trump isn't going to be able to do much of anything unless he has the support of Republicans in Congress. But then -- at least according to the prevailing thought-processes here -- their support should mean that he is now a tool of "the establishment", and should be unworthy of support. At least, if there was a modicum of intellectual honesty.

I absolutely detest this "if you're not with me, you're against me" mentality, where honest disagreement is just taken as a sign of corruption or evil intent. It's a disingenuous, vacuous, self-destructive mentality that is gong to do long-term damage to attempts to righten the course of the country.

It's amazing. Every time I convince myself that maybe I could vote for Trump in the general election, I come here, read posts by Trump supporters, and change my mind.

Major sarcasm follows:

Yeah that makes sense. You see that all the time in racing where someone beats a whole field but he simply can't win a duel.

Right. Because a footrace is a perfect analogy to an election.

The desire to hammer Cruz as “establishment” stems from being told that we aren’t conservative for the past six months. That was an insult from the start.

My sense is that the Bush family is the first family of the establishment. That is why he was the huge odds on family to win the nomination when this process started. It’s why his poor performance was denied in the media, in the punditry, in the debates, in the polls, and even in the actual voting until everyone else in the world could see reality clearly. They had to come around.

Treating a Bush as if he were the same as everyone else simply doesn’t recognize the power and position they have accumulated.

No one denies that Christie is a liberal republican, but I can deny that the establishment ever had him as a serious opponent to ANY Bush.

When CEO’s, politicians and financiers fly in their private jets to a secretive meeting on an exclusive island in Georgia to plot against a candidate...that candidate will seem very appealing to a lot of people.

“When CEO’s, politicians and financiers fly in their private jets to a secretive meeting on an exclusive island in Georgia to plot against a candidate...that candidate will seem very appealing to a lot of people.”

And when establishment cronies like Bush and others come to the aid of Cruz I think that will be bad for him...it may pop the balloon of illusion he worked hard to build to fool the electorate.

But, I have learned to never underestimate the evil these power hungry bastards can do...

Cruz is bringing in some real trash....he is actively courting the GOPe...instead of fighting them.

Neil made the claim he does not talk to his brothers much.

Somehow, I believe it. Poppy always seemed to Favor W and Jeb over Neil and Marvin.

What people keep forgetting is that Cruz MUST add moneyed tycoons if he has any hope of winning the general election.

Those people DO NOT come for free. They want something.

No, it doesn't.

In a race, one car blowing a motor doesn't make the other cars run any better.

In an election, one candidate dropping out inherently means that one or more candidates are going to gain a higher percentage of the vote. That's inarguable.

So no, the analogy doesn't work.

I’ve seen a lot of Trump supporters acknowledge that he’s not a conservative. Do you disagree with them?
