That is how you discern a column of made up bull poop manufactured by the leftards who now embody Politico.

Anyone who buys their crap needs a brain transplant.

The message from Republican insiders is clear: We cannot let our primary become another clown show.

Then stop running clowns, GOPe.

Christie sank himself when he got photographed with his arm around Obama just before the 2012 election.

That photo-op will haunt him every time he may try to run for the presidency.

RE: Gingrich admitted it was a big mistake to be photographed sitting on the couch with Nancy and advocating for global warming.

He can’t seem to get out of his own way.

Perhaps we can rid ourselves of the GOP establishment along the way to November, 2016?

Bill Scher seems to have been born with a corncob up his sanctimonious butt.

Limbaugh only said the reason Walker got great polls was that he is a fighter an people know that. Rush does not back anyone at this time.

When you spend the majority of your show, on numerous occasions, giving one candidate positive coverage, you’re endorsing him, whether it’s “official” or not isn’t the question.

It’s good to see the GOPe agrees with me. Only Ted Cruz needs to apply.

Heard him, he was saying that Walker’s fight against the left and winning was a blueprint for the GOP and other candidates. He said the people crave a fighter, but that he did not agree with all his positions and is not endorsing anyone yet.
Also mentioned there was no love from Rove who is backing the loser Bush.

The establishment hounded Sarah out. Conservatives wrote Mitt out.

The big money donors wrote Mitt out when they jumped ship for Jeb.

The Uniparty will do or say anything to assure that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, perishes from the earth.

"Frightening Tea Party candidates"?

I don't recall seeing any of them. Progressives must be easily frightened.

Yep, an attack piece by the left to promote candidates they KNOW they can beat.
Same old polls with the same wrong data.
