Establishment much?
[ If they take Trump out and replace him with Rubio, at least we won’t have a fascist nationalist with zealous, irrational minions as president. ]
No, but we’ll have a slimy globalist with crony COCs and Wall Street lobbyists granting amnesty to thousands of illegal invaders....

Very nice analysis. I agreed, but you also raised points I hadn’t thought of. I hope it’s ok that my post isn’t as sober as your thread. I’m on opiate pain reliever today after an emergency dental trip last night.
“between Bernie/Hillary and Trump, the former are less evil than the latter.”
So, DHG, you will vote for Bernie or Hitlery over Trump?
(voting for the lesser of evils, of course).
Whew! Thanks for clearing that up. I can vote for Rubio now. /s
“gay prostitute”
Rumor or fact?
If fact, credible link that provides source documents, please, not a link to some article saying something but offering no verifiable proof.
Thanks.
Rubio has the homo arrest to deal with.. and Ken Mehlman’s gay FL GOP-e crowd will not be able to innoculate him against that in the South.
LINK?
We disagree, and few think Trump can’t accomplish things-—they just fear what he might accomplish. But with Cruz, I have very serious reservations that his massive unpopularity and lack of GOPe support (without Trump’s personality) would lead to him being unable to accomplish anything.
For what? The arrest or the former RNC head’s gay organization in FL?
“After New Hampshire, I think the picture will be much clearer between Trump or Cruz. But for now the important thing is to Stop Rubio, and make sure Yeb is killed off once and for all.”
What he said.
I know that every elected dog catcher in the country looks in the mirror and sees a President.
But to not take being a US Senator seriously because this tremendous honor which has just been given to you isn't ENOUGH for you?
That's a character defect.
Because they think that someday - SOMEDAY - it'll finally work out right.

I think he was inspired after watching “Scarface”.
He’d do anything for blow and money.
So the little boy blew......kinda like Obama.
I this IA changed little other than Rubio now has some ground to stand on when he tries to argue the establshment should rally around him... Other guys need to leave and enforce and donors should come to him... He outperformed, largely by trying to frame himself as the second coming in the final weeks... If he comes out of NH strong his argument that the others need to leave gets that much stronger... If however, he comes in 4th or 5th in NH as other establishment candidates have up on IA to put a line in the sand at NH this arguement dies quickly and the long slow thinning will continue.
As to IA polls, I don’t know why ANYONE puts faith in IA polling... I don’t recall off the top of my head anytime polling has gotten IA right. Secondly, I don’t know why anyone would have expected a Trump win in IA.. The format and electorate makeup naturally made him a long shot for a win. Had he won IA outright I would have viewed this as an insane upset and at that point and the scope of a Trump victory would be beyond the scope anyone was considering. Trump did well in IA, but I never felt he was the underdog for a win there. Too many fundamentals against him there.
With all that said at present I don’t thin IA has changed much in the long game, though I do agree Trump needs to refocus on NH.. I get the cheating tweets to steal the news cycles back but he need to pivot forward not back to keep things going.
If Trump underperformance majorly or loses NH then we have a major change in the optics of this race. If Rubio beats solidly the other establishment candidates things get a bit more interesting. If Jeb or someone else tops Rubio the field doesn’t thing as much.
If however Trump performs in NH well, he runs the table.
Time will tell, but I don’t thin IA results themselves have changed much of the optics. If NH comes in with anyone other than Trump at the top the entire races optics open up.
Of course Rubio is bi...........partisan.
Thighness was a Senator, too.
Yes, although Hillary’s fans talk about her enormous achievements “over many years”.
Thank you for that. I just posted on another thread how none of the primary candidates thrill me. All I can do is decide which candidate will screw us the least.
I don’t see any of them as a unifying force after the nomination. On top of that, I believe the GOP will lose one or both Houses in Congress in November.
We’re screwed.
