Pat Caddell: GOP Establishment ‘Using Cruz as Cats-Paw’ to ‘Nominate an Establishment Figure’
Breitbart ^ | March 31, 2016 | by John Hayward

Posted on 03/31/2016 10:48:42 AM PDT by detective

Pollster and political strategist Pat Caddell, a mainstay of the “Political Insiders” roundtable on Fox Report Sunday, joined SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Thursday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily to talk about the state of the Republican primary race and the hopes of the GOP establishment for an eventual nominee other than the current candidates running in Wisconsin.

If you think the Cruzer is gonna make it, lay your 401k on his chances, he’s 12:1 on the Euro sites.

Become the next John Paulson!

I’m a grass roots, constitutional conservative who will vote for Cruz on the 1st, 2nd and 97th ballot if necessary.

The “will of the people” is NOT expressed by the fewer than 40% of the Delegates Trump has.

The “will of the people” is expressed by THE MAJORITY, which Cruz will have on the 2nd ballot, under the rules established 4 years ago, without regard to this year’s candidates.

You failed to mention that same Fox poll shows Kasich beating Clinton by 11%. By your argument, Kasich should be the nominee.

Do try to think for me, as you’re incapable.

Kasich serves only as a nuisance.

Cruz will win on the second ballot.

I agree with everything you said.

The funny thing is that a mirror image drama has broken out on the dim side with sanders. Not much noise on that. But, I also predict that his supporters will break away in a ron paul type "bedsheet over the freeways" campaign.

It is not that those little snowflake sissies won't take no for an answer. it's just they have never been told "no" at all before in their lives.

True that and additionally, he was spot on in calling out the media a few years back though he hasn’t said much about it since. I hoped my not too bright lib friends would get a clue when I circulated Pat’s videos regarding our disgraceful media.

Not sure why you’re screaming at me.

Honestly, I don’t do the whole poll thing, but if it helps you feel better, don’t let me stop ya.

SO WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

All the other candidates are owned by the Uniparty. You’ll get the same thing with them no matter who is in office.

Trump is the only one who’s not. I don’t care how low his poll numbers go; he’s the only one who won’t eagerly sell this country out to the illegals and end conservatism for good.

End of story.

I think he is correct.

It is illegal for an American to bet on an election.

So the GOPe has clearly decided they would rather have Hillary than Cruz or Trump. Because they know that’s who will win if they nominate anyone other than those two.

They've thrown their lot in with the Democrat/Socialists a long time ago. What else could explain their utter tone-deafness when it comes to the will of the people?

It isn't like the people aren't making their wishes known. The Tea Party is a pretty strong indication.

Doesn’t matter:

Trump is in a statistical tie with Clinton in FL, a MUST WIN STATE.

Cruz is 5 points behind.

My guess is: the Donors to the dems are the same who donate to the GOPe.

“It isn’t like the people aren’t making their wishes known. The Tea Party is a pretty strong indication.”

“I’m going to win the nomination without the base.”-Jeb Bush

That summarizes completely the GOPe. And the dems.

“I believe both Trump and Cruz have a responsibility to pick delegates who won’t vote GOPe”

In some states they don’t get to pick their own delegates, the party does. And in Pennsylvania the delegates aren’t required to vote for “their” candidate on any ballot, including the first.

I heard GOPe crapweasel Hugh Hewitt speculating that the PA delegates might just be “missing” from the floor on the first ballot so that he won’t get their votes at all.

Yes, in NYS I believe they recently changed it where the local party assigns the delegates instead of the candidates.

I would like to know other examples of this.
