This is amazing analysis. I read every word of the article.

I don’t see Rush quite getting it today as he still likes Rubio but Rush did say Christie rocked the establishment and his exacting words were daggers.

Christie has to be VP...I don’t see him not. I don’t like hi as he is still GOPe to me.

Christie is not going to be VP. Everyone is speculating on his motives but nobody haven’t said nothing yet.

I don’t think so. Won’t Trump need someone from a Southern or Western state?

[Ouderkirk]

I won’t say no VP for Christie, but there are other possibilities too. Still too early to make predictions.

Trump needs to do well next week and on the 15th to make things more clear. Still too out of focus, with too many variables in play

Sundance makes an interesting case. We shall see how accurate his predictions are. He’s made some interesting predictions that have come to pass. So he has a solid track record.

The problem here is the Rumsfeld paradigm. He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. He is speculating on what he perceives. He may well be right.....or not.

Christie is more liberal than we would like here, but he is still pretty conservative, and I think he would “grow” in the position if he left his left leaning state and had more freedom to be conservative. He has always been solidly pro life. He, like Scott Walker, took on unions and won.

Great article.

If/when Trump becomes President, hope he shines the light on the RNC elites and appoints his own RNC chairman to represent We the People.

We the People are so tired of the liberal media and the newly exposed RNC (Koch brothers)

What form might this attack take? According to The Hill, the Kochs operatives have carefully assessed Trump's vulnerabilities and those of the other candidates and determined that highlighting his track record of bankruptcies and predatory business deals harms his standing with likely voters. (The Democrats deployed a similar strategy, to great effect, against Romney's “vulture capitalism.”)

“As to whether we would mount something like that, everything is on the table, one senior Koch official told me. “But there's no real plan. In all of our meetings we've discussed it.”

One thing that has held the Koch network back so far, in addition to the Trump backers within their ranks, is the concern that taking on Trump would inevitably draw the thin-skinned tycoon's legendary invective, which it almost certainly would. If the Kochs go after Trump, rest assured that he will take every opportunity to highlight how he's being attacked by a cabal of billionaires seeking to control the outcome of the election. And this more or less explains their caution to this point. By taking on Trump, the Kochs risk lending credence to his claims of being an outsider who is battling against a corrupt political system rigged by the elites.

Everything is on the table, says one source.

They do not care about people who vote. The Koch's want what they want, when they want it, and they will buy anything politician they can. They hate Trump and are afraid Trump will expose them which is why they are using Rubio and their other surrogates. They wanted Paul Ryan, they got him. They have the RNC chairman of their choice, Reince Priebus.

The Koch brothers and Mitt Romney are attempting to take down Donald Trump by way of Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus and Jr Senator Rubio. Ted Cruz should not align himself with these people, otherwise, he becomes the bought and paid for establishment.

Hope Trump wins and day one, hope he replaces Reince Preibus with someone who will have the integrity to represent the party against the RNC elites.

Rush was almost maniacal when I heard him today, clearly angry that Cruz and Rubes hadn’t “taken out “ Trump sooner. He also was at a loss to explain why Cruz is doing so badly.

“Christie has to be VP”

Christie would be awesome on the campaign trail, but I still wonder if Christie would rather be AG.
