Palin should have fought back against the McCainiacs; surely she knew her ticket was going down from the start, as McPain did not care to win.
Bush’s an elite... on the list of who he ‘cares’ about - American citizens are last.
Citizens are tired of this type of crap...
By what right is anyone’s vote supposed to default to a Bush?
Actually, Jeb emasculated himself by not just being soft on illegal immigration, but by referring to it as an “act of love” and not really illegal in the sense of being wrong. Jeb later compounded this folly by referring to conservative critics of his views on immigration as “chirpers.” Jeb also spoke about the need to disregard the GOP conservative base in order to win the general election, even if that disregard meant losing a primary or two. Yet now, desperately, Jeb impugns Trump as not a conservative — and does so in Spanish no less.
“[T]he Wall Street Journal is the most powerful tool Republican leadership uses to hit conservatives.”

Trump is Robert Mitchum in most any movie, to Jebs Tony Randall in the Odd Couple.
Zing!!
Good one.
Exactly. The guy is totally tone deaf. And arrogant.
Jeb wouldn't have a clue as to what to do, while Trump would have the drunk tossed out (and would probably have his driver take him home safely).
“So now Trump is the belligerent drunk at the wedding of Jeb to the GOPe. Got it.”
Trump will be sober in the morning.
Bush will be a GOPe gelding for the rest of his life.

I am officially postulating a corrollary to Godwin’s Law, which I am calling “HoosierDammit’s Law”; to wit, in any Free Republic thread on Donald Trump, as the thread grows longer, the probability of someone comparing him to Jesus approaches 1.
I LMAO every time Bush does his speeches is Spanish. I imaging him picking up two Hispanic votes and driving a hundred over to Trump.
So, that is what Trump is a drunk. The guy who doesn't drink, smoke, take drugs or drink coffee. Schmidt does not get it.
FYI Schmidt, Jeb is not a fighter. When asked, “Knowing what you know now, was going into Iraq a mistake?” His response was WEAK.
Jeb should have fought hard and to the death for the Troopers who served under his brother. Those Troopers fought for the United States of America. Those Troopers deserved Jeb’s loyalty. He should have said, “The mistake was voting for Obama. My brother won the war, as Biden has said. Obama lost the peace. The mistake was electing Obama. Obama gave birth to ISIS. ISIS is now at our gates and Obama is doing NOTHING. The greatest movement of people from the Mid East to the West is happening now. And Obama is doing NOTHING. Iraq is not my brother's mistake. Iraq is Obama’s mistake. Obama is America's mistake.”
I can never vote for a man, a brother who said that. If Jeb is not willing to fight for his brother, is he ready to fight for our country?
Despite the fact that the proponent of the proposition is the despicable Mr. Schmidt, we both agree with the sentiment. I thought I would list a few other propositions to see what sort of reaction they generate:
So long as the Republican establishment remains committed to Jeb Bush they will continue to lose the race for the nomination.
So long as Democrats are unable to break Hillary Clinton's hold on the levers of the Democrat party, they will lose the race for the presidency.
So long as conservatives believe that Jeb Bush is a viable candidate, they will remain adhered to Donald Trump.
The GOPe would be well advised to immediately shift all support to Marco Rubio.
If another establishment candidate such as Marco Rubio emerges to pass Jeb Bush, he will not succeed in winning the nomination.
Donald Trump's support and the support for Ben Carson are fundamentally at odds even though both are popular because they are outsiders.
Trump is not essentially a conservative but a narcissist/populist. His supporters believe that having the right enemies within the establishment and winning over the establishment are more important than ideology or character.
Ben Carson is not a doctrinaire conservative but a good government Christian. Carson's support is found among those who want an outsider but who admire intelligence, accomplishment and despise boorishness. They believe that good character is far more important than ideology.
Trump was in a race to establish inevitability for his nomination before his act gets old and his 15 minutes of political fame fades.
Ted Cruz remains the ideological conservative in the race who combines intelligence and character without Carson's passivity or Trump's boorishness who continues to lurk within striking distance but who has demonstrated no ability to generate mass appeal.
Mass appeal?
How many politicians can fill a stadium with an overflow crowd?
Not too many.
That’s the reason the rest of the GOP field is in Trump’s shadow.
None of them as impressive as him.
He’s in his own league as shown by the polls.
No one else on the GOP side commands support in double digits.
I’ll submit to you a simple proposition:
The GOP needs to stop sending me emails offering a lapel pin in exchange for a donation — this after they sent me ten “Stop Obama’s Deal With Iran!” emails.
A lapel pin!
