Instead of viewing the developments in the Republican race as separating the field on pro-amnesty and anti-amnesty, consider the race is breaking down between those people who speak out against the Republican establishment and those who do not. Viewed from this perspective, the results of Trump, Walker and Cruz (rapidly improving therefore included) versus Jeb Bush are equally well explained.

Of these three candidates, Trump has been only a talker. Trump has been the hypocrite but Cruz and Walker have actually fought the fight, they have put their political reputations and their political careers on the line in public confrontations with the establishment. Walker took on the establishment in his state and won, Cruz took on the establishment in Washington and lost that battle but history has yet to tell us whether he has won the war. He claims, with some justice, that his battles won Republicans the Senate. While Walker and Cruz were battling, Trump was contributing to Democrats, registering as a Democrat, declaring himself for abortion, and praising Hillary. Eventually, Trump's support will fade away as the public tire of his act and the party will turn to those men who have tempered their politics in the real fires that count.

Trump remains the wrong messenger with the right message.

I am sorry about the losers trying to dig you up last weekend. Is Mrs Forrest ok?

Never thought he was any different than you say. I picked illegals because they are our downfall above anything else you can put a real name to.

Right now what GOPe means to me up is enemy. More so than Democrats frankly.
