And I feel really bad for all those who are pumping cash into Jebber & Rubio, as this ‘not real campaign’ is steamrolling right through their big cash liberal lite agenda.

Pumping cash into Rubio cuts into John Ellis Bush as much or more than the others. He also might be the one guy who can beat him in Florida and get the WTA delegates.

I am no Trump fan, but he is sucking the oxygen out of John Ellis' room, as well as the others. I am hopeful that Trump has turned around on abortion, but because his positioning is more emotional than philosophical (though healthy emotions are good, too!) I cannot assign the same level of trust to him than I can to a Cruz, Walker or Santorum.

The plutocrats pretty much run the Republican Party, and through the tech whiz kids, have made serious in-roads with the Democrats. Odd, that a plutocrat is positioned to blow the whole thing wide open and make them scatter.

I think my list right now is Trump, Cruz, Walker.

I think both Cruz and Trump would nominate judges who follow the constitution, Walker I have less confidence in. On foreign affairs, Trump is king, with Cruz behind and Walker in the dust. On military issues, again, Trump is miles ahead of Cruz and Walker. On economic issues, all three have their standouts, which pretty much makes that a wash.

Is Trump's evolving viewpoints on abortion all that much different than Walkers? No. Cruz does stand out on that issue, but I'm also not expecting a lot of leadership on that issue, aside from budgetary priorities which will reduce abortion, and I consider all three to be equal on that.

On other domestic issues: Cruz stands out on dismantling the ObamaCare system, but I doubt any of them will actually push away from nationally mandated ‘equal pay’ coverage, or the mandatory inclusion of maternity care.

And Trump and Cruz are the lone contenders if the issue is illegal aliens. Cruz's positions on giveaway trade & unlimited patents & copyrights as well as the infection of the senate are the biggest reasons why he's second in my list and not first.

I went last night to my local brewery in my liberal leaning town and had a couple people ask if I had another Trump speech I could stream onto the TV. Again, people stayed, they listened, they agreed with him, even the morons in the corner with the rainbow stickers and fading Obama/Biden sticker on their Prius. They were the first to ask, ‘Why wasn't this on the news? Why do they just include little tiny tidbits?’

Trump's inspiring discussions and viewpoints that have not been part of politics for a very long time. The rest of the GOPe field had best pay attention to this and start campaigning on these issues, or they will lose.
