This was the funniest one, though, like Doctor Phil's diet book.

There are a handful of “Christian conservatives” who are Huckabee-ites no matter what. It baffles me. He has yet to catch on in two election cycles. His book did ok, not great. His debate performances are ok, not great. A true mystery.
The GOPe spit in the faces of conservatives after the 2014 midterms. They have used us and played us far too long.
They will lose if they give us another GOPe candidate.
>> Hilarious.
Yeah, no kidding.
“Trump as the GOP nominee remains fantastically unlikely”
Throwing in bias in the form of adjectives unsupported by the raw data — i.e. “fantastically” unlikely — is an only slightly more subtle form of yellow journalism than outright name-calling.
I’m loving this “king-maker” meltdown that our press and pundits are experiencing waaaaay too much.
Yeah, I think “toxic to the general election” must be the new talking point.
I think the reverse is true. Trump is going to pull blacks, hispanics and women from the democrat base in greater numbers than any republican in the past.
His “Jobs” theme resonates with blacks and hispanics. He’s reached out repeatedly to women. He is a very smart campaigner.
Well, the battle is on. The GOPee are likely working on Cochraning as many of their enemies as pissible.
Pretty much just summed it up for us, Matthew. You, and the other journalists you know, are just as clueless as the GOP elite.
LOL. Those "tactical blunders" are a big part of the reason that Ted Cruz is ahead of all the other politicians in the race.
And this passes for "analysis". Give me a break.
Upon reflection, no need to fix the spelling....
” I thought Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had the most impressive performances”
Someone is on crack.
Mathew needs to take a 10 day vacay.
does anyone know Carson’s net worth? I’ve heard he’s extremely wealthy.
This was the funniest one, though, like Doctor Phil's diet book.
I know a doctor who doesn’t even practice anymore, he just owns a chain of surgery clinics and he’s worth nearly a billion dollars, so Carson might be in that neighborhood.
“Watching the debate, I thought Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had the most impressive performances. So did almost every other journalist I know.”
I think everyone is getting sick and tired of “sounds good!”
Rubio sounded wonderful, but you know he can’t wait to get into office to backstab the conservatives and do the work of the GOPe.
“I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him."

Misses the essential point that Trump deals the GOP the wild card they never dreamed they’d get: a candidate who doesn’t need their money and who doesn’t give a damn what they say or think.
A total game-changer.
And to think we keep sending these people back to Washington. It really isn't very difficult. Do, or at least make a good faith effort to do what you said you would do, and what we elected you to do. How can people who claim to be so smart, be so stupid?
BWAHAHAHAHAH!
We shall see. I am glad Trump is pulling issues out for all to discuss. This is good for the nation. It's long over due. However, Trump does not strike me as a patriotic constitutionalist. His conservative creds are nil. He blows in the wind. Right now, he correctly has a pulse on which way the wind is blowing, and it is in favor of the conservative movement, in at least it is the opposite of what Obama represents.
When the media can get their game back on track and the winds change direction, what will Trump do to remain in the spotlight, to continue his hero play? Trump is about his image and standing. I have my doubts he cares about the the future of the nation 50 or 100 years out. I think Trump wants to be the next Bill Clinton in terms of name recognition and popularity. He wants to be able to get $300K speaking fees down the road.
He might be better for the country than any liberal in contention. But I am not confident he will stick to his current conservative views once elected. Trumps claim to fame is knowing when best to fold. He has made lots of money by predicting failures and getting out early.
