This all is really amazing that Jeb! is not anywhere near the front of the pack after he supposedly had it wrapped up and Hillary was looking forward to running against her "brother."
I can remember back when Nixon and Kennedy ran against each other, and I remember when Goldwater ran, but this that is happening right now is squirrelly, to say the least.
The GOPe is catatonic. We should all rejoice.
Voters think in 2015 that they are incompetent, bumbling fools because the voters clearly sent them an urgent message in Nov. 2014, and they have totally ignored it.
Voters also think they are incompetent, bumbling fools because they keep foisting worthless candidates such as Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney on us.
What puzzles voters is why do they insist on nominating losers that can't possibly win?
Then one realizes that Politicians don't play by the same rules as their voters. They have millions of dollars in personal fortunes and also their absolute power to protect from any staus quo disruptions threatening their fortunes and power. Thus, they connive and conceive of plans to secure their fortunes and power while also appearing as incompetent and bumbling with no power to do anything without the voters continued support to give them more power and money.
Look how much they have stood by and let Idi Obama get away with. Disgusting more and more voters who then have no other place to vent their anger except to keep voting not for them, but against the other guys in disgust.
Be interesting to see how much money has been recently poured into Ben Carson's campaign to disrupt/split the phenomenal disgust/contempt that Donald Trump has tapped into with his outsider campaign.
I will sit home on a RINO nominee.
Jeb and Crispy are my line in the sand.
Those are Establishment candidates, though. How does that help Little Jebbie?
America’s Party, whatever constitutional conservative is on your ballot.
Most states are either going blue or red with or without us. We may as well make our presence felt.
He would be fine with that. The GOPe is the Democrat party.
If Jeb won, we need to figure out someone to write in and get behind that person.
The GOPe knows exactly what they are doing: lie to the voters and then claims they are unable to keep their promises because they don’t have the votes. Except they find enough votes to please their big donors.
It appears that we are faced with the reality that the Republican Party is obeying O'Sullivan's First Law:All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.. . . the reason is . . . that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don't like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels’s Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows.
IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY:First defined by German sociologist Robert Michels (1876-1936), this refers to the inherent tendency of all complex organizations, including radical or socialist political parties and labour unions, to develop a ruling clique of leaders with interests in the organization itself rather than in its official aims. These leaders, Michels argued, came to desire leadership and its status and rewards more than any commitment to goals. Inevitably, their influence was conservative, seeking to preserve and enhance the organization and not to endanger it by any radical action. Michels based his argument on the simple observation that day-to-day running of a complex organization by its mass membership was impossible. Therefore, professional full-time leadership and direction was required. In theory the leaders of the organization were subject to control by the mass membership, through delegate conferences and membership voting, but, in reality, the leaders were in the dominant position. They possessed the experience and expertise in running the organization, they came to control the means of communication within the organization and they monopolized the public status of representing the organization. It became difficult for the mass membership to provide any effective counterweight to this professional, entrenched, leadership. Michels also argued that these inherent organizational tendencies were strengthened by a mass psychology of leadership dependency, he felt that people had a basic psychological need to be led.
Actually it is perfectly consistent. Viewed from 30,000 feet, you can see it all very clearly. The end game is POWER. Get it, keep it and use it by whatever means necessary. So, while the GOPe IMPERSONATE a “bunch of incompetent, bumbling fools”, their eye is the power. Step One, GET the power.
They have consistently fooled the base with promises of things that will change and nothing changes. They suck our money and our votes, telling us to hold our collective noses. What they really want is someone will not upset the apple cart, so that they can KEEP their power.
We know all too well what they USE the power for. Amnesty, Israel sellout, government dependency, ad nauseum.
Keep your money. Keep your votes. Bring them to their knees.
“How does that help Little Jebbie?”
The answer is in the article.
Right now the Republican Congress isn’t worth a bucket of slop to be thrown to the pigs, I wouldn’t waste gas money to vote for these spineless pieces of amphibian crap.
Perhaps in local elections or at state level I might vote for conservatives but Bush and the current Republican Congress? Not interested whatsoever.
They don’t mind if Jeb wins against Hillary or not. The DNC is totally with them in globalism. They keep all their marbles and their minority power structure in place and the anti-American game goes on. Both parties, “The Establishment”, hate Americans and America. They are out for themselves.
They just don’t want anyone who will turn over apple carts and break things up. Trump is the only one willing and able to do that. Don’t know if he’ll do what he says but if he does “the Establishment” is up the creek without a paddle for ONCE! I know he’s not dependent upon the Establishment for funding so they can’t all quit and funnel all their money to Jeb.
I’m going with Trump because he’s not dependent on GOPe’s guidance and money and can make it through the primary and election if nominated, even though I really like Cruz. I hope Trump picks Cruz as his VP and keeps the Establishment candidates at arm’s length from the White House. They lie, cheat and steal - just like the Demonrats. The difference is that the Demos do it open, loud and proud and GOPe sneaks around to help the DNC screw Americans.
I agree that Carson is an Establishment player only because he’ll be totally dependent on the Establishment to guide (because of a total lack of experience playing with politics and issues involved) and fund him. I know he does not see the bigger picture because he’s been too busy in his life in another all consuming and excellent field of study and work. I know a lot of doctors like him. I think he’s sweet and smart and never want anything bad to happen to him and those who support him. If he agrees with Trump’s health care plan to replace Obamacare, I hope Trump puts him in place. Carson would agree with Trump’s assertion that everyone needs health care and he probably would agree with a competitive free market Nation-wide.
Right now as he runs for president, he’s helping GOPe to split the conservative vote in States Trump needs to be competitive for the nomination so he is hurting Trump (the only one who has the money and agenda and caginess to beat them) - but not on purpose, I don’t believe.
