Cruz’s donations are from normal people. Jeb’s all come from elites who gave maximum amounts.
Walker is my second choice, but I’m wary to see how he responds to the media now that he’s officially in it.
Unless he stumbles badly again like he did today with the Boy Scouts, Walker probably wins IA, Trump wins NH, and Cruz wins SC. By the time we get to FL Jeb is hanging on by his fingernails.
Rubio probably wins, but a big push by Cruz, as a Cuban, and Trump...who knows.
Could be fun!
I believe that Donald Trumps numbers will begin to crater soon ...
The check is in the mail.
We’re in the media so we know why Trump will fail.
Walker has a great record and experience as governor of Wisconsin. But he makes me feel sleepy during his speech. He needs to spice up his delivery and if possible his personality.
Looks like Cruz also has Nevada and many of the so-called SEC states.
I agree on both, but especially Cruz- Perry is not out yet, but I think that he will be.
2012 Republican primary. The candidate who most directly appealed to the base wound up being after much searching former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. But,... he was consistently financially outgunned by Mitt Romney, who went on to be the nominee.
Or go back to 2008 when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was the bases preferred candidate. .... He was outspent badly by John McCain, who, yup, went on to be the partys nominee.
Today, the guy with the biggest warchest is Trump. So it’ll be a war of attrition between Trump and Bush, with the LSM & GOPe being squarely on Bush’s side.
Very astute poast!
Write this down: Perry will endorse John Ellis Bush.
If Trump drops out, as many think he will (I don’t see it after going to all this trouble) then the two people with the biggest war chests will be John Ellis Bush and Ted Cruz.
“Today, the guy with the biggest warchest is Trump. So itll be a war of attrition between Trump and Bush, with the LSM & GOPe being squarely on Bushs side.”
And Main Street America will be on Trump ‘s side.
Of course!!!!
Of course!!!!
I am 100% Cruz. But regarding Trump, I say rise with the tide, go with the flow...
Dittos on the "gay" Boy Scouts!
Walker had been a strong second choice for me, but now he’s just a third choice (after Cruz and Trump).
He’s flipped on Amnesty and flipped on Boy Scouts - I assume after being scolded by Republican ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way). He’s also hired some people with questionable political pasts (such as working for McCain and treating the base like garbage).
But given the rest of the field, he’s still my #3.
Bush can’t translate donations into votes by any means. I think he gets blown out in the first primary.
“Regardless of who Trump is, we need to hear the truth from someone. If it’s from a fake, frankly, I don’t care. It’s still out there, which is more than you can say about the worthless GOP. “
I’m with you. The media won’t lift a finger for us, and if the other candidates simply following the brilliant wisdom of their Republican ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way), then NOTHING gets accomplished, or even talked about.
Trump, since he announced, has not done A SINGLE THING to anger the base - not even Cruz or Walker can match that (Cruz with that stupid trade authority and Walker flipping on Boy Scouts).
I’ll get angry with Trump when he gets me angry with him. I don’t blame him for participating in “Pay-to-Play” with the Democrats to get his $10B wealth - look what happened to Microsoft under Janet Reno when all Bill Gates wanted to do at the time was simply stay out of politics.
