There are lots of political machinations going on with the GOP presidential primary. Word is that former Florida Governor and presidential candidate Jeb Bush will be meeting with remaining candidates Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich. We know Neil Bush is a Cruz campaign finance committeeman. And after what can only be referred to as poor performances this past Tuesday, I surmise there are growing behind-the-scenes calls for Rubio and Kasich to exit. Man, there are probably some serious “Godfather”-type discussions going on.
Here’s what’s at risk. If Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich remain in this contest and end up losing next week Tuesday in their respective states — very probable –to Donald Trump, he walks away in those winner take-all-primaries. What that means is Trump gains an even bigger delegate lead which will be even more monumental to overcome.
Now, Rubio and Kasich will respond to the calls to drop out by saying, we got this” but that’s a gamble some aren’t willing to take. What I find very interesting is — as we recently shared — the real losers in this whole episode are the GOP elites and their special interest crony capitalists who benefit from fiascos like the Export-Import Bank and bailouts. The GOP elite have truly found themselves in the predicament of being between the devil and the deep blue sea — and it appears they’re going to choose the deep blue sea.

No, I didn’t, but can’t help but smile at your joke.
Shrewd/diabolical. Puts Trump in the mean white male role picking on the Hispanic and female. Proving him a racist & misogynist.
So if you don’t vote for Cruz - your a racist who hates women and Jesus.
I guest that explains Cruz’s PAC sharing money with Carly’s campaign.
“Most women with not vote for a man when a woman is running.”
That idea makes sense but it does seem to be holding true for her. In her contests against Bernie, the breakdown seems to be young vs old instead of men vs women. She’s not a likable candidate.
The ticket would more likely be Trump/West.
Everything now looks like it’s coming to a head in May based on what the judge and the ex-US attorneys are hearing.
What is it that I don’t understand? How is a straight line conservative ticket going to beat Hillary without the help of the Independents and the cross over minority votes? Yeah, yeah, Reagan won everyone over. That was 2 generations ago. Reagan’s base at the time were people who were here during the “Great Depression”, they are no longer around in the numbers they were back then. They were smarter voters than we have to deal with today. They weren’t brought up with 2+2=5, and America is an evil nation. They didn’t have to deal with the late 60’s generation as a voting block like they do now. Unfortunately, they seem to all have become media majors and journalists, if not politicians. Hillary’s arrogance is beyond belief and yet she is strong and continues to have the Press’s backing? Want to defeat Hillary? You better think it out more. I wish Alan West was running, but what he did was worst than Benghazi, at least that’s what the MSM will certainly come up with. Forgive me, if by chance, I’m not too PC here, but IDGAS.
Cruz has won one primary outside of his own state. He has almost zero support.
I won’t attack him, merely point out that he’s wrong. A candidate who has won as many states as DT has never has lost the nom. And assuming that foam boy and kasich hang through next Tuesday, its close to done.
If he is right, though, it’ll save millions of us an hour or more of our time. Why vote for uniparty’s designated loser when you can get in some fishing or range time instead? Gotta look on the bright side.
Kasich will not leave the race until after Ohio. There is no way around that.
Now we have a conspiracy of failure taking charge.
There is that word again.
See, stealing is illegal and implies doing something wrong or unethical.
What you are advocating is actually unethical. You would like to change the rules of the convention at the last minute to make the threshold for the nomination less than the 50%+1 that it currently is.
Your "ends justify the means" attitude is fitting for a leftist.
You might be right on that one.
Teddy Milhous doesn’t have a path to victory in the general. So he’s really going to win VA? PA? OH? FL?
His appeal is limited to deep red states.
This is all academic, though. Teddy’s role if he makes it to the general is to be the designated loser and judas goat for the right.
That’s absolutely wrong, but believe what you wish..
Don’t think West supports Trump from the indications in this article, the more likely beneficiary is probably Cruz. Not that I can speak for Col. West.
“...was able to make his case without calling us Trump supporters some type of disparaging name.”
Like the FRasshats throwing these epithets around:
Trumpys / Trumpees
Trumpholes
Trumpaloompa
Trumpsters
Trumpanzees
Trumpenistas
Trumpers
Trumptards
Trump Cult
Trump Diehards
The Trumpkin Proletariat
Trumpites
Trumpkins
Trumpettes / Trumpets
Trumpists (thanks Rush Limbaugh)
TrumPinHeads
Though recently, I noticed some of the worst offenders have ZOT on their faces.
Hate to say it, but Cruz/Bush
...nah, Ted’s from TX and knows you don’t want a Bushie as Veep unless you like attracting lead from wacked out friends of the family (Bush or CIA, take your pick)...
ymmv
As far as I am concerned, Allen West himself is the man to beat for the VP slot.
1980, Reagan choose Bush I
ahh, no, RR was threatened and HW was forced on him... Nancy said it was the worse night of their lives....
ymmv
I haven't.
