Did we not say that it was a huge mistake for Bachmann to hire Rollins? Did we not say it will be a disaster? It would doom her siding with an establishment guy who trashed her and Palin earlier this year?

[magritte]

She was doomed after Iowa no matter what after Perry entered. You didn’t really think she’d make it to South Carolina, did you?

[mancini]

For crying out loud, can’t these people ever shut their mouths? Must they always try to be relevant?

[SamAdams76]

I did a little research into this "Ed Rollins" character. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. He "earned his bones" in national politics so to speak by running the 1984 re-election campaign for Reagan. Hell, Reagan could have had hired any fool to run that campaign and he would have still won.

Since 1984, Rollins record has been less than stellar. He ran Kemp's campaign in 1988 (winning zero primaries), then jumped to Ross Perot in 1992 and we all know what a train wreck that was. Then he ran Huckabee's road-to-nowhere campaign four years ago and now poor Michelle Bachmann saddled herself with him. Then there are a bunch of lesser campaigns that he worked on with not a whole lot of success.

Palin is wise to stay away from these so-called "pros".

[Rudder]

Rollins is wrong. Bachmann is done before Iowa.

[Buckeye McFrog]

HUGE mistake! Rollins was an establishment plant, sent out on a mission to sabotage her. And if she was not smart enough to see through that, then maybe she should not be President.

[HomeAtLast]

Might be bad news wrt the executive, but it’s good news for the legislature if Bachmann doesn’t win the nomination. We are all lucky to have such legislators as MB.

[Outlaw Woman]

Gosh I bet she is so pleased with her choices now. Pfft...Bachmann has this coming. Not a word when this maggot attacked Palin; which imo is acceptance and approval.

Good riddance Michele.

[ez]

I, for one, won’t miss her. She is not ready for prime time, and was the first to bring out the long knives against those who still have a shot at the nomination. I would support her for Speaker, however.
This field needs to be narrowed to Perry, Romney, Gingrich, and Palin, if she decides to run, so we can hear them at length during debates.

[indianrightwinger]

Come on....you FR folks bashing Rollins should quit the whining and look in the mirror. NO LEADER FAILS because of his/her underlings.

Bachmann was a lighweight firebrand and now she is proven to be a disastrous candidate. Get over it and give up on Rollins.

[Christie at the beach]

With friends like that-he seems to be a hack! She made a BIG mistake hiring him. Talk about being done, that’s Ed Rollins.

Yes, you did.

A shame Sarah Palin didn't run instead of Bachmann. Nothing against Bachmann but a former governor has a better chance to win the Presidency over a Congresswoman.

[WOSG]

“Did we not say that it was a huge mistake for Bachmann to hire Rollins? “

Right, but if a candidate makes bad hiring decisions, it puts his/her executive capability into question. Bachmann has Kamikazi’d her campaign.

I am all for Rollins joining the obama campaign now.

-——a bunch of unsubstantiated speculation-——

It has been said before and guess what, here it is again. It is neither unsubstantiated nor speculation. If not all gone or dripping in dribbles, her money has dried up like spit on a Texas Hiway

[PieterCasparzen]

Bachmann may get the nomination, but I’m not counting on it.

If she does not, Cain would be better than the rest.

If he does not, we’ll have a big-business, establishment Republican in the WH. Which is cr@p, but whatever.

I haven’t been excited about the Republican brand since Reagan.

Congress is what’s most important, and hopefully we’ll have more real conservatives put there in 2012.

Politicians have NO CLUE as to what to do to help the economy.

Establishment republicans simply want to give tax cuts to big business but leave disgusting unconstitutional regulation and laws in place, since their big business handlers like that.

How many government agencies will be completely eliminated ?

How many cabinet-level departments will be completeyl eliminated ?

Zero.

So the economy will STUMBLE ON, jobs AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT will continue to go mostly overseas.

We’ll keep making deals with arab sheeks.

We’ll keep doing business with communist nations.

Thanks Republicans !

[stellaluna]

Is Ed slipping mentally or is this enemy action?

[goat granny]

She was silly enough to hire that idiot, she deserves what she gets.....

[Baladas]

Ed Rollins’ treachery here is big, even for him. The remarks he’s making now are completely unprofessional,and, no, Michele Bachmann doesn’t “deserve it”. Rollins is an ass.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Why is it you and your Palin ping list and others like it; never post on important Obama news and crimes of the day threads?You seemingly post nothing but all Palin all the time and 99.9% of these threads are national enquirerish,trash, date guessing,bashing everyone but Palin,blaming everyone but Palin for not running; childish cultist bully pulpit threads.

NEWSFLASH: Your agenda is not winning anyone over nor does it favor Palin well.

[Rocky]

Rollins is a creep. Who would hire this idiot now?
