Well, Jeb knows that the Republican establishment will do their best to sabotage Trump if he becomes the candidate, so Jeb thinks that Trump won’t be able to defeat both Clinton and the GOPe. On the other hand, Jeb hopes he will be able to get votes from the moderates as well as the conservatives like George W. did.
What if the GOPe decided to play hardball? They would say to conservatives: You may not like our policies very much, but you have nowhere to go. We will grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, but we will let you live. You are playing with fire if you think we will let Trump win. If the Democrats win both Congress and the Presidency, they will destroy you. They will ban homeschooling, they will take away your children, they will prosecute orthodox Christians for spreading hate, etc. We are the only ones who can stop this.
I don’t think the GOPe are as crazy as that, but who knows.
“What if the GOPe decided to play hardball?”
It would be much better for the conservatives to play hardball, for a change.
Why should we believe them? They haven’t done anything else they said they were going to do. All they have done is lie to me, insult me, and betray me. So what do I care what they say. IMHO It is the GOPe that has no where to go. The dim’s don’t want em. So GOP elites, do your worst. If you come out in support of Herself, we will kick your asses anyway and then you won’t even get table scraps. Personally I don’t think the GOPe will support Hillery but one never knows.
