GOP establishment stares into the abyss
Politico ^ | February 10, 2016 | Alex Isenstadt

Posted on 02/10/2016 7:01:35 AM PST by C19fan

For the establishment wing of the Republican Party, the picture just keeps getting bleaker. Far from winnowing the crowded field of mainstream GOP contenders and allowing it to unify around a standard-bearer, New Hampshire thrust it further into chaos. Marco Rubio, after taking steps last week to coalesce the backing of the party’s upper echelons, saw his momentum halted in the state, which punished him for delivering an overly scripted debate performance.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like victory.

Keep dreaming, Politico.

Your witch’s broom is in full stall, and your commie is beyond being a joke.

Promise one thing to the voters, then do the opposite with impunity and arrogance. They brought this disaster on themselves

We MUST beat The Cheap Labor Express.
Every Presdidential election since the last amnesty they have stuck us with an amnesty candidate.

Until we have driven a stake through the campaigns of Yeb! and YoungYeb! they are still a threat. The RNC/GOP still has tricks up their sleeves.

I don't even think they get it. That or they just don't even care.

What halted Rubio’s rise was his support of amnesty, which is far worse than being overly scripted and memorized.

GOPe is not worried. They want to keep their lobbyist $$ and power.

If it’s Trump or Sanders we just have to decide how far Left we want to go. ConMan Left or Commie Left?

Not much difference.

I would not be surprised if he gets more press coverage now, than he got when he was running.

Cruz is running a Washington Cartel campaign complete with anonymous and money laundered donations. Not much difference between Cruz and the GOPe on that front, sadly.

Is this an official tweet?

Sounds like he may during the day today do so. Wish the best for him.... in NJ, that is.

About as much difference as it made when we got majorities in the house and senate. ALL of the Governors and Senators are PART OF THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THEM.

Do you truly believe there’s not much difference? Do you find Sanders’ and Trump’s vision for the US similar? Do you think they have the same positions on international affairs?

Or is it more a thought that given the makeup of our congress, neither would rock the boat and we just continue on the same path?

I’m sincerely interested and trying to sort things out.

If Hillary’s lard@zz tried to straddle her witch’s broom, she’d take off inverted & then auger into a death spiral.
