The fact that the establishment has been backing Rubio so hard and for so long should give everyone all the suspicion they need.
Once they tried to redistrict Allen West out of Congress, that sealed the deal on him being a reliable conservative who’s on our side.
You mistake “throwing them under the bus” with them jumping under the bus and us watching.
There is no room left under the bus with Jeb, Rubio, Bolton, Trump, Haley, Ayotte, Sununu, Portman already under there!
***************
Well, let’s get a bigger bus.
Romney? Never!
OK, so doing the math, when does Mr. Magic Underwear get to 1144?
We have until June 5 to stop this pathetic cult leader with 3 grandmas bid to buy the nomination.
The GOP will surely die if he succeeds, and that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
In fact, given the recent shennagigans of the likes of busybody Rubio and senile GHWB (who LOST to BJ Clinton), I'd say the GOP is in the goddamned ICU, with a poor prognosis.
Is it just me..or does it seem more and more like we are sliding into parlimentary procedure?
The party picks the nominee...not the people.
(A little disheartened tonight, I guess.)
I gave up after Danica Patrick was thrown under the bus last week here on FR.
Oh, I had an idea.
Rubio was supposedly the greatest conservative evah when he got elected, at least according to FR. A continuous stream of articles posted here praising him. Oh, Marco, please run for President!!!!!!!!!1
Nope...there were always a few suckers on FR who buys into people like Rubio and Christie and there was plenty of FReepers who were battling on those threads pointing out that these men are not what they appear to be
June 5th I think, but it’ll be clear enough after April 24th if it isn’t already which states he’s going to win after that point and that he will hit the magic number. Unless of course some huge scandal erupts like what happened to Cain.
Now Santorum’s guy is saying they are peeling delegates away from Mitt behind-the-scenes and that he thinks Florida and Arizona will be changed to proportional. I can’t quantify what’s going on in the smoky backrooms.
Never say never! But I do understand your antipathy towards Romney. So who are you rooting for? Any name endorsement to your candidate? I am still hoping Newt will win but needs a minor miracle.
Ready to stomp the blue blood country clubbers till the cows come home.
Newt’s the only “president” in the race- both sides.
Die screaming douchebag
Nah, we can give him a gold star and break out the pom poms.
This AP report is by Laurie Kellman and Kamie Hunt. Amybody know anything about these two ?
It’s desugned to influence the WI April 3rd presidential primary
What’s the hurry ? SCOTUS may not rule the way you think it will.they’d better wait until that ruling comes down because Romneycare is in deep do do in MA.
Tell me more about what you think will happen to Romneycare, please.
Tell me more about what you think will happen to Romneycare, please.
Rush said that according to the numbers there is no way for Romney to clinch the nomination before convention, unless newt or Santorum drops out. He said that the numbers just don’t add up for Romney.
I have no idea what Rush said, but I’ve seen very little mathematical analysis worth its weight in water from anyone in the media, conservative or liberal, and I never do regardless of the issue. These guys are not mathematicians.
I believe Romney needs 40-something percent of the remaining delegates to win outright. He’s won over 50% of the ones alloted so far. So that alone tells you he is on track to winning the nomination. Looking at how many upcoming winner-take-all contests are favorable to him, his percentage of the remaining delegates will increase from the previous delegates if he maintains his typical vote levels.
For whatever reason, we just can’t make any negatives stick to Romney. The Etch-a-Sketch thing has already evaporated. And with less money on our side going forward, Romney gains the upper hand moreso than he had before, which was the reason the GOP made this primary process so lengthy in their last rule change in the first place. They wanted to make it long so the non-Romney candidates would run out of money and Romney could pick up the slack in the back half.
Here’s an analysis someone on FR did showing Romney ending up with 1,312 delegates. This is a numbers game at this point, so unless you can point out which specific delegate predictions you disagree with in this analysis, then you haven’t proven that you’ve analyzed the numbers. And if you haven’t done specific numerical projections, your analysis on who you think wins or doesn’t win is meaningless. The numbers are too narrow and tight to just go by a “feeling” on this:

Problem is Obama proved that anyone can win if the public hates the incumbents enough. If Romney wins, one problem will be ending up with a big 2006-like Congressional loss if Romney dissatisfies conservatives with his performance as president. And then of course potentially losing the presidency in 2010 if he’s not well-liked as president. Which would then give liberals the majority they need to pass single payer health care, cap-and-tax, etc.
