I don't hold with ad-hoc prophecy when I speak, but personally, I expect folks are angry.

I expect Cruz is going to win and the Bushes lose.

I never send money to politicians, even ones where I volunteer my labor to phones and shoe-leather.

I'm not sure how many times I've given now to Cruz.

For me to do that, he's got to be something special. I did give him time when he ran for senate, and didn't give money really, until he announced for President.

Very few Cruz delegates, if any, will be seated.

If you think otherwise, you’re fooling yourself.

The late, great Lawrence Auster covered the subject of how, and why, liberals hate democratic processes in this post.

As the GOPe is more out and proud (in the liberal sense), it explains how they will approach the 2016 nomination, and why.

How do we get the Walker bandwagoners to jump off their bamdwagon and get behind Cruz?

Pete, thanks for pinging me. I didn’t know about the new rules. I like other conventions, that I watched (especially in 1980 and ‘96), when at least five candidates got votes. I hope the rules will be changed, by the RNC, before the 2016 convention.

Walker hasn’t even announced. It will all fall in place.

I’ve already sent Cruz some money (twice) and will send Walker some money when he announces. I like both and will support either when he gets the nomination.

Well this year the southern states are banding together to have a Super Tuesday primary so it may have some effect as far as stopping a Jeb Bush etc.

I see Jeb Bush dead in the water by this summer.

I also see Jebbie crashing and burning. He has almost no grass roots support. It takes more than money to win votes. Christie is just so vile and uappealing I see him going nowhere. In the end the establishment candidate IMO will likely be Mitt Walker.

Have you seen anything official regarding the actual dates of the primaries.
This is from the Green Papers but I find nothing on the GOP website.

Well with regard to the possible SEC primary I think they are talking about March 1st and the states that are in discussion to be part of the event are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.

Thanks. I find a lot of talk but nothing indicating that the dates have been
agreed upon. FL jumped the ship last time and says they won’t do so this time.

Why would any sane person spend all of their time, energy and money on a rigged game?

a sense of duty.
God’s Omnipotence.
An understanding that cynicism as being contrary to the Gospel.
