Fiorina's the Flavor of the Week Because the Establishment Thinks She Can Take Out Trump(Posted elsewhere) The GOP-E reminds me of those old time kids shooting galleries with the moving line of duck targets - as one goes down - Jeb, Carlson - another - Carly - takes its place.
Over the last few months the GOP-E has been running around like a duck ( :-) ) with its head cut off trying to shoot down Trump. Rather than attack the Democrats, they attack one of their own - someone they can't control.
So, now that tip-toe Bush is fading, as is Carlson, the next duck up is Carly. She will fade also as Boxer's old campaign ads about her ruining Hewlett-Packard are rerun.
It's gonna be an interesting few months as they still have about 10 ducks to put up.
Last week it was the news that The Donald had insulted Carson & Fiorina- the media was all over that remember that?
Ok, well in my mind I saw it as The Donald trying to clear the playing field albeit a bit too early.
So now we had a brief apology tour (this past wks debates)
I don’t blame him for trying to clear the field but I think it was a bit early- he jumped the gun.
What concerns me most is this: I have been behind Ted Cruz from the beginning from when he first came to Washington DC.
He’s intelligent, he’s on top of the subject matter but more importantly he’s a publicly God-fearing man. I see where his priorities are. But the dealbreaker with him is position on the HB1visas situation and frankly as one reputable pundit has noted in the media there’s a problem with his citizenship. I’ll leave this open to interpretation by anyone who would like to comment on that here if you feel moved to do so.
I like The Donald , too,. At specific moments I have actually cried in private when I have listened to him because he’s speaking a lot of truth in very plain words on how to repair , reconstruct this abject monstrosity of the current situation at home & abroad. When I hear him he “just busts me up inside”.
This current fracas with the Q&A on obamas religion/origin of birth etc is so typical of these so-called teflon left wingers who want to conflate the issue(s) to tear him down of course. The odd thing NO ONE has said , NOT ONE PERSON even conservative political pundits like Rush or Levin is this: These political gatherings that people go to whether it be democratic or republican are nothing but RALLIES -it’s an open forum- the potential candidate is NOT required to have all his ducks in a row nor all his/her positions engraved in stone.
& if you watch closely how Hitlary has managed her way thru this past week w/no shows/ abandonment in Laconia NH/and “read my book”, & all her other garbage that spews from her mouth is not being challenged along with NO SHOW JOE- of whom we haven’t heard a peep out of either this past week-
other than a brief mention of Jerry Brown’s contemplated fling it at the wall & see if it sticks idea of running for president-
He can’t even run the f*ckin’ St of Calif for God’s sake- run the country? We’d all have to put on Mao Jackets and ride bicycles if he won.
Well, thanks for reading this post It’s rather diff right now to consign one’s heart & vote but in the end (with lots of prayers & discernment I pray to God & ask you & I know you will , pray to God for the best Republican candidate in the General Election to lead our country to vote for the next President of the United States.

A little sidebar on my impression(s) of Marco Rubio:
I’ve watched him over these past years and I would never vote for him for ANYTHING not even DOGCATCHER .
I see him as someone who thinks (the construct in his own mind)of how he presents himself w/his perfect suit, his perfect hair & grooming his “literacy in politics as a hispanic”, his aligned co-horts in the Republican Party- and have come to understand the image that HE THINKS ALL THIS makes a PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and it doesn’t. And he’s deluded by his own image and here’s the kicker-he’s only a niche candidate.
If my comment here is a bit long as some of my comments have been on other threads I do not apologize.
It’s easy a lot of times to leave a few word response and I have seen threads filled with snark (some of which I have contributed to) but in all honesty Free Republic forum is rather a unique place & I hope y’all appreciate my comments as I will yours.
