Is Jebbie happy that about 9 million disaffected Republicans would never in a million years vote for him if Trump does, in fact, turn out to be his stalking horse? We’re not backing Trump to end up with another RINO.
“Mr. Bush’s top strategists, who have become increasingly fixated on halting Mr. Walker, believe that Mr. Trump is nothing short of a godsend”
I wonder of this is like Carter’s people thinking Reagan as an opponent was a godsend?
This Hayward cat makes no bones about his dislike of trump and his love for jebby.its pathetic.
As I see it, Mr Trump draws attention away from Gov Walker. Yeb is hated by conservatives and barely a pantywaist thought to the rest of the world. Should Mr Trump flame out for whatever reason, I hope Gov Walker has all of his skeletons hidden very well.
This guys argument goes to “hell with gasoline drawers on” due to the fact that Trump is beating Jeb, and Rubio in FL.
If Jeb loses FL, stick a fork in him.
He’s dead, Jim.
Cruz is still the one so far, imho.
If Trump stays in all the way, they are going to have to
pull some very serious shenanigans to give the nomination
to Bush. But I doubt very seriously they are going to
let Trump have it just like there was no way they were
going to let Ron Paul have it. That’s why they are saying
they have to win without their base because they know in
the end they aren’t going to have it. Just like with
Romney, the base is going to stay home and refuse to vote
for another fraud. The choice has already been made, now
they have the task of setting it up to look like a legitimate
win.
The full WSJ/NBC poll won't be released until today. In all the reporting (I've been able to locate), Walker's "My 2nd Choice" numbers are judiciously absent.
Donald Trump Surges in New NBC News/WSJ Poll
"...Jeb Bush is the second choice of 16 percent of respondents, with Carson, Trump, and Rubio all winning the second choice spot from 11 percent of voters....."
Donald Trump Leads Republican Presidential Pack, WSJ/NBC Poll Finds
"......The new poll, whose full results will be released Monday, was based on a survey conducted July 26-30, after Mr. Trump made widely publicized controversial statements, such as when he disparaged former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
The differences among the top-tier candidates are small enough that they are within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Still, the double-digit jump among Republicans picking Mr. Trump as their first choice—up from 1% in the June poll—was significant.
What’s more, Republicans who don’t see Mr. Trump as their first choice seem to be warming to him. The share of GOP voters who pick him as second choice rose to 11% in the new survey from 3% in June...."
Why would they think if moderates panic they will go for Jebbie? If anything it’s helping Walker move up to second place. Walker started out as everybody’s second choice.
Wish these dopes would make up their minds.
Riiiiight - another article said Jeb sees the upside of Trump’s presence - I noted he has to crane his neck to look up at Donald’s receding butt and the only upside visible is the upper regions of Trump’s colon. If the Jeb camp is using Trump as a sign of its future success, it is scared to death and knows it is losing by trying to get “conservatives” to dump Trump.
This is Jeb Bush’s attempt to control the narrative, give themselves that veneer of inevitability by pretending that this is all part of his plan — that he’s playing rope-a-dope and secretly has the support of the voters to win the GOP nod.
They must have gotten a look ar Karl Rove’s little white board. People are going to get a real surprise. Remember when this same crowd said a divorced actor would never win a primary? I do. :-)
The DC crowd wants a owned K street boy like a Jebbie or Rubio or Walker.
The fact Walker has hired George Will wife and Smear merchant Dayspring to run his DC PAC and Romney campaign manager and ex RnC staff tell us who is the back up option for the Powerline lawyer crowd.
A fat, skanky political PIMP, that sells his "wisdom" to which ever cable news show that needs to fill 45 seconds with political, pimp blather. Alex is a shame to his mother.
The are no GOPe alternatives because the GOPe is dead to me.
To say Trump is a stalking horse for Jeb is pure BS. Bush with his pro illegal, name factor, RINO, establishment, etc. is history.
Interesting points.....not sure how to take them tho.
Generally it appears that Trump hurts Bush but according to this article Trump helps Bush? The writer has some valid points. Bush needs to be knocked out before the Florida primary...if not he is the nom. Like it or not.
At some point Carson, Paul, Huckster supporters will have to make a choice because these three cannot win and support for them is support for Bush.
Ask Jebbie if he thinks Trump is his stalking horse? LOL!
Who is it that likes Trump now but would vote for Jeb Bush if Trump were to drop out? Nobody. These guys are using rubber hoses to blow smoke up their own asses.
