The Dumb and Dumber Party bought and paid for by establishment idiots!

The GOP has a death wish. If the good old boy establishment is going down, they are going to take the whole country with them. They want Clinton to win just like they wanted the Kenyan to win. McCain and Romney were expendable and were used as token candidates against their beloved, “historical” Kenyan.

Is the author implying a true-to-life Pelican Brief scenario?

There may be no solution but to let the GOP wither and build a new party from scratch.

Money and power are such powerful intoxicants and are the source of so much evil for sure.

I too wondered about implications. It will never be known however and probaby the situation was siezed as an opportunity.

Yup. It was all arranged. Jeb was to loose to Hillary. Then this dam Donald Trump came along and ruined the whole plan. He must be defeated at all cost!

It is an interesting construct.

The idea that Scalia was killed to stop Ted Cruz from being ruled as ineligible is over the top.

If that was a real concern, why didn’t the many cases brought up on Obama’s elegibility gain any traction?

A willingness to construct a sufficiently convoluted conspiracy can explain any situation and set of facts.

For all the paranoia and lack of confidence, Trump is taking over the party. It’s the Establishment that needs a new party, or needs to join with Democrats like the GOP Mugwumps of the 1880s.

I don’t buy the Scalia thing either but go back and read what sundance has written about the plan to elect Jeb and it all makes good sense. Grain of salt, sure, but some of the better analysis on the web and certainly makes more sense than most of the blather from the usual suspects.

Sickening. The tree of Liberty withers as the oligarchy grows.

We almost won with Romney and McLame.

Cruz will do just fine.

EVERYBODY who endorses an "anybody but Trump" candidate since it became a way to thwart the will of the voters should be voted out of office. If they stayed truly neutral, that's acceptable....judge those candidates on their merits.

Best guess is President Trump is going to have to make a lot of real good deals to succeed in the US Senate. The worse-than-useless Republican majority there is GONE!! Case in point.....Senator Portman. He endorsed Kasich before the OH primary, instead of just shutting up. He was already in a close race. Now, the dems smell blood and there are some real fine TV ads about how Portman is a job creator, for overseas jobs....NAFTA, CAFTA,,,,,he voted for the whole dang alphabet.

I'll NEVER vote for him, and I don't think I'm the only OH 'pub who feels that way.

No sale. They're supporting Cruz so they can steal the nomination. The Cruzer fantasy of Ted coming out on top at the convention is ridiculous.

Scalia’s death keeps Cruz in the race as a splitter? Kinda hard to believe. We live in interesting times.
