And if the Establishment continues to support Bush, it will be clear to us all (if it is not already) that their sole goal in pushing Bush would be to prevent a conservative from getting the nomination, and becoming president.
That has been clear to me for quite a while.
Look at the previous two election cycles. McCain was as popular as poison ivy in June 2007 after pushing amnesty TWICE and had no money. Yet he had the nomination sewn up by March.
Romney was the author of the precursor of the hated Obamacare and had taken all positions on all issues at one time or another and was less popular than McCain. Yet again, by March of 2012, he’s the nominee.
They have the calendar rigged so red states have virtually no say until it’s too late. Elsewhere they have purposefully open primaries. The rules have been tweaked to smooth out the bumps Romney experienced on the way to his nomination. The GOP exists to block conservatives, not represent them.
The last 4 Presidential elections have been amnesty D vs amnesty R.
We have to think outside the box the parties have put us in.
The Texas primary is on Tuesday, March 1, 2016.
Hopefully that date will give a lift to conservatives (most notably Ted Cruz).
Great analysis. Thanks.
Dear God, please give us a conservative candidate to vote for in 2016.

What would it take? A lot of us are catatonic at our lack of power. The media holds all the cards.
