Does anyone remember Ws campaign? Basically they simply messaged that his name was George Bush, and he was more likable than his dad. Good to have a beer with. He was as tightly scripted as Robotio. (Admission: I voted for W. twice, of course.)


I voted for Bush twice. And I remember how infuriating his 2004 campaign was. Genius Rove and Compassionate George just lay down and took all the trash talk without responding. In fact, it was 8 solid years of maximum wimpitude.

The Wimp is strong in the Bush family.

Got that right.

Whatever is for limited constitutional government, constitutional state sovereignty and individual freedom, that’s what I am. A lot of “conservatives” seem to go the other way on some of this stuff.

I really don’t like the word “conservative.” It implies keeping the status quo. I hate the status quo wand want to see it blown up.

Your post #453 on “Conservative” reflects very accurate assessment of the situation that is occurring.

I was talking to one guy who was raving about Bernie. Kind of went like this:

Him: He’s going to give free college to everyone! What’s wrong with that?
Me: Who’s going to pay for it?
Him: The rich! The rich are going to pay for it!
Me: What happens when the rich run out of money?
Him: The rich NEVER run out of money!

Sigh.

Bernie supporters remind me of the Ten Years After song. Alvin Lee sang, "tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more- where is sanity?"

Certainly not with the miseducated millennials. They were raised to be entitled takers.

"Friends of mine in SC tell me the local buzz is Rubio surge to a strong second

If that is true I am going to be ill.

You'll get over it, the only place where Rubio is less conservative than Cruz is on illegal immigration, and he has been migrated rightward for some time.

You know that when Bush and Kasich drop, none of their support will go to Donald, some will go to Cruz, most will go to Rubio. Carson's support will probably split 50-50 between Cruz and Rubio, none for Trump.

So if you are in Las Vegas today, put your money on Marco for the long hall, ---though Trump will beat him today in SC by 5-7 points.

The polls, so adored and revered by the Trump Camp, actually show Rubio and Cruz doing much better against the Democrats than Trump. In that (very critical) metric, Donald is just not cutting it. He'll have to step up his game.

As for Cruz-Rubio, there is a portion of the evangelical vote that was dismayed to learn that Cruz, despite a mighty fine family income, has not been contributing materially to his church. For some people, including in my own family, that is a red flag. If he couldn't reach 10%, that's forgivable, but not even trying is not. We want the churches and private charities to take the lead in social issues, and thus we are obligated to voluntarily fund them, that's Conservative Citizenship 101. In my opinion, this is the main reason Ted seems to be fading a bit. He presents himself as "Mr Consistency." We ridiculed Biden for being cheap on generosity, now the chickens have come home to lay their eggs.

I hope this poll comes to pass Trump really need to get over this low 30% number!!!

Romney was a 30% candidate until he wasn't.

Got out of Austin and live in the Hill Country, thank God. Why you would want to manipulate a survey to get Trump on top is beyond me.

Cruz was 87% but on my results and Gilmore was only in the 70s. The commies were in the 30s.

Assuming states prioritize it, assuming they work together on it. Some of them might take state-run immigration law enforcement seriously.
