The real weakness of the GOP establishment will be measured on Saturday in the (South Carolina primaries) because it will show, in real hard numbers, just how many traditional Republicans are left. If Trump can blame 9-11 on establishment icon George W. Bush and then win the South Carolina primary, then we’ll know that the old Republican Party just doesn’t exist anymore. If that doesn’t sink his campaign, then nothing will, and he will be the GOP nominee. We’ll know for sure on Saturday, but the Drudge Poll today has given us a hint.

He said that going into Iraq was a mistake.
I guess this is too complicated for the dumbocrats.
Trump responded to Jeb’s claim that his brother kept us safe. Trump just pointed out that 9/11 happened on his watch so how can anyone claim he kept us safe.
And Trump was refuting Jebster’s meme that GWB kept us safe. That is true ONLY IF you ignore the 3000 in NY city murdered, and several more thousand injured during the building collapse. Not to mention the losses to the economy.
Remember how after 9/11 the only photos or news about it were sanitized as to “not offend”? This forum was about the only source of real news. Diogenesis posted tons of stuff. (Thanks Dio.)
How many movies have been made about Pearl Harbor? Tons.
9/11? None.
Let’s not offend Islam.
F that.
In previous election cycles, Trump would have easily been Palinized or Quayled out of the race, but the rank and file voters appear to not pay much attention to mainstream media anymore.
I thought that was the plan.
Demolish the old GOP because they have sold out the citizens.
If they will not stand for the rule of law they deserve to go.
Ask Eric Cantor.
No, we aren’t.
The Ministry of Propaganda is pissed about it, too.
GWB’s insistence on calling Islam a religion of peace in the face of all historic evidence was what really turned me against him.
He’s lying.
Islam has never been a religion of peace.
It has always been a religion of conquest and slavery.
Yes, he was happily refuting Jeb’s meme by using a ten year old Democrat talking point. But please, continue your defense of the New York Democrat running as a Republican.
DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!!
Trump didn’t blame Bush, he said 9/11 happened on his watch, which it did.
The buck stops here. And if it happens on your watch, it's your problem. Except for Obama of course, that's the way it always works for other issues, so why not 9/11.
3000 dead bodies is more evidence than any terror event so far in the world. One has to be insane to call that a non-event or democrat talking points. It is amazing how low some people supporting Ted Cruz will go to deny 3000 murders. Desperation is reaching record levels.
Once the attack took place, within hours, the FBI knew all the participants. They had been under the scrutiny of the agency. Because of the various stovepipes within the intelligence agencies, no one could put the dots together. We paid a terrible price.
Did you not see Jeb Bush say his brother kept us safe? Trump was justified in calling that a lie, with evidence of 3000 dead bodies, many crushed so badly, only way to identify them was through DNA testing.
My dream is the death of the old republican party.
Your dream is shared by many here on FR.
Drudge has been in the tank for Trump for a while now. Heck he’s run “who won the debate” polls every single time except for the one debate Trump didn’t attend, then suddenly he only has a “who do you want to be President” poll because, God forbid Trump not win a meaningless online poll just once.
