Kudlow Predicts Brokered Convention: McDonnell/Christie Ticket

www.wabcradio.com ^ | Saturday, 2/18/12 | Larry Kudlow

[11th_VA]

It's about 40 minutes to his second hour. Says if Romney loses Michigan, no one gets 50% of delegates. Says Jeb Bush will be in the room when McConnell/Christie team is picked ...

[11th_VA]

If McConnell is at the top, I could live with that ...

[paudio]

Well, just hope it’s Bob McConnell, not Mitch McConnell...

[the invisib1e hand]

whaaaa?

geez, do they put crack in the water supply nowadays?

[Christie at the beach]

McConnell is a first string establishment guy. Christie is a liberal. They just refuse bold changes. Again, we get the shaft. I wish Palin would get in with Newt. I am so sick of the ruling class.

[Verginius Rufus]

I assume this should be McDonnell (the governor of Virginia), not McConnell (the senator from Kentucky).

[fortheDeclaration]

Are these people on drugs?

[SatinDoll]

No. This is all about money and power, making certain that those who want to change the way business is done in Washington, D.C.

[Christie at the beach]

Correction in my comment: McDonnell

[Signalman]

The governor of Virginia is:

Bob McDonnell

[11th_VA]

sorry, I;m on a netbook :)

[pabianice]

WABC radio? The people who have never mentioned Fast and Furious or stopped fawning over The Lovely Michelle? ? Yeah. I believe them.

[Dapper 26]

Kudlow is smoking some bad weed.... never happen.

[2ndDivisionVet]

[Christie at the beach]

McDonnell has endorsed Romney (Romneycare/Obamacare)

Santorum previously endorsed Romney.

Christie, was for the ground zero mosque/could go along with that.

[traditional1]

"Well, just hope it’s Bob McConnell, not Mitch McConnell...

Darned....I was thinking a totally Conservative Ticket of Mitch McConell w/John Boehner.

/sarc

[marygam]

I just threw up.

[11th_VA]

wait ... wait ... wait it McDonnell NOT McConnel

my really, really, really, really ... bad ...

[Roklok]

Senator McConnell and Gov Christie??? Oh boy, that team will really fire up the base! sarc... That is just nuts.

[MestaMachine]

THIS is ridiculous...(so it’ll probably happen.) But I damn sure won’t help.

[TSgt]

And if that happens this will be the scene on the Washington Mall in January. God help us!

[ak267]

Isn’t McDonnell a Romney supporter?

[11th_VA]

Ya know, there comes a time in every ones life where you think, ... maybe I should stop posting ... I don’t think I’ve got what it takes to do this any more. I mean, it’s just one letter but ... wow ... i keep thinkin’ ... how many laptop screens did I ruin ... did anyone go into cardiac arrest ... this is a young guys game ... maybe I should just give it up ...

[Christie at the beach]

Not to worry-I knew who you meant.

Keep sharing, my friend.

[BRL]

ping

haha

[The Wizard]

A brokered convention is Sarah’s

[Mariner]

I read a lot about some odd-ball getting picked at a brokered convention. I think it's a deliberate scare tactic.

Seems every author forgets to mention that it STILL takes 1,144 delegate votes to win the nomination.

If the first ballot fails, they can vote for whomever they want.

And it doesn't have to be McConnell or Bush.

[spokeshave]

Is 0bambi wearing a Zoot Suit in that pic....

He has the loooong black coat and the crispy folded trousers at the ankle...........?

[ngat]

The Turtle and the Walrus? on stage and campaigning together? That is a mental picture I do NOT want to go to sleep thinking about.

[quantim]

LOL, and it’s even worse for those of us with large touchscreens.

You spray one of those and the PC feels a 1000 inputs at once and tries to follow everything instantly and you have to pull the power and reboot.

[Hebrews 11:6]

So, when was the last GOP convention that got past the first vote?

[NativeNewYorker]

[goat granny]

If he means our courageous senate minority leaders he’s nuts as Jimmy Carter.....Wouldn’t vote for the other guy named either.....Christie? I’d sooner vote for Ron Paul than 2 non vetted insiders. I don’t know either of these guys....The choice will have to be from the 4 left running, you cannot just pick someone at random and run them. Thats even too stupid for republicans to do....

[Elle Bee]

[struggle]

AHAHAHAHHAHAH! Never gonna happen.

[CapnJack]

Sure it isn't Ronald Mc...

[okie01]

If the first ballot fails, they can vote for whomever they want.

Some states don't release their delegates until after the second ballot.

[Buddy Sorrell]

The GOP-e is delusional. I wouldn’t trust Mitch McConnell to bring my garbage cans to the curb. Christie would bring the cans to the curb. But, he’d probably pull a Costanza and fish out a half-eaten eclair.

[Bluestocking]

A Mitch McConnell/Chris Christie combination would be insane. But, fortunately, Larry Kudlow meant Bob McDONNell, not our zombie-esque, charisma-deficient Senate Minority Leader.

But that combination is still crazy. Why choose candidates from two non-crucial states instead of John Kasich and Marco Rubio from must-win Ohio and Florida?

In any case, if Romney loses Michigan to Santorum it won’t be solely because Romney is awful but also because Santorum is very good at convincing people to vote for him, even when outspent 20 to 1 — an ideal trait for a politician, which should propel Santorum to the nomination and probably the presidency.

[funfan]

I wish he had tripped on the wire under his foot

[section9]

I really can't stop laughing at Kudlow for this, especially since I'm such a Palin supporter. I mean, the Convention would turn to McDonnell?

That is like turning to Mitch McConnell!

Speaking of sombreros, if Kudlow insists on Full Metal RINO, can't we go with a guaranteed Open Borders Candidate and end the hypocrisy? You know, like this guy?

Best,

Chris

[campaignPete R-CT]

FINALLY, WE HAVE OUR NOMINEE!

[TSgt]

[SuperLuminal]

...and the moon is made of solid blue cheese...

We don't need a McCain/Dole lookalike ticket...

1948 Tom Dewey, 3rd ballot

[rfp1234]

I thought his name was McDonnell.

[Iron Munro]

I see Moose is passing on her sense of style to the little one.

[beethovenfan]

Is Kudlow on the sauce again?

[rfp1234]

Branstad / McDonnell might be a tiny bit better.

[tennmountainman]

And if it does happen, the GOP will get a drubbing from top on down in historic fashion. There will be NO enthusiasm for this loser ticket. And maybe that’s what the GOP really wants.

What better way to break up the Tea Party and maintain Status Quo at the same time than depressing GOP vote.

A real ticket would mean Bonehead, cantor and McConnel would
lose their positions. Can’t have that. So depress the vote.

[RegulatorCountry]

Dang, I figured the Mayor of Munchkin City would be up in there somewhere, as far as establishment wet dreams.

Who are they kidding though, really? In the event of a deadlocked convention, Palin will play a large role. Nobody motivates Republican voters to support a candidate like she does.
