papasmurfbell Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 They should drop out. They are wasting time on stage. They have to be left there but they should go. It was the same with O'Malley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc. Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hillary wins by 50 points in South Carolina... And that about does it unless some indictment destroys her. Meanwhile, great pieces from the Times and Post that analyze the failures of the establishment to even be able to create a strategy to tackle Trump... And how it will legitimately destroy the party. I'm not disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, great pieces from the Times and Post that analyze the failures of the establishment to even be able to create a strategy to tackle Trump... And how it will legitimately destroy the party. I'm not disappointed.Rubio is reeking desperation and has stooped to Trump's level. Not looking good for the party, but perhaps it's for the better. It's only going to get uglier. Rubio bluntly said the party will not nominate Trump. The convention could turn into a WWE event. Meanwhile Michael Bloomberg is considering a third party run. I read an interesting article on Bloomberg which detailed a far fetched scenario where none of the three candidates gets 270 electoral votes. If there was every a year for something like that to happen, it would be with this circus we've seen thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 That was so funny. Why is it that comedians dig into this stuff more than the pros? I heard last week that Jeb did no opposition research on Trump. My guess is nobody did that is why they finally started hitting him after doing a little digging.

dc. Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 By pros do you mean politicians or news media? I think some of the big media have trouble doing it with the backlash they get for "bias." Comedians get less pushback. Good news of the night so far... Trump is winning a lot of states on Super Tuesday, but he's lost a few to Cruz and is in virtual ties (if leading) in a few with Rubio. I think we're honeslty on our way to a brokered convention. I have a feeling no one gets the needed delegates. This could likely kill Trump's chances... and if they nominate Cruz, they will lose the general election... they could even destroy the entire party (honestly, I don't think the party can survive no matter what happens at this point). Recent polls continue to show Hillary gaining on Trump by large margins. Losing to Rubio. Sanders crushes all in a general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc. Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I don't. I think it is Trump and Cruz. Tweedle bad and tweedle badder. Don't think what? Rubio has a chance? Fair. But brokered convention seems too possible and end of party with either candidate seems possible too. Watching Cruz give his sorry now... Nauseating. He's nearly as egotistical as Trump. And his views are almost scarier. Listening to him your think we're in a puritanical society and he's our holy father... Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The establishment will get all in on Cruz finally.Except, Cruz is anti establishment, has run anti establishment, and most moderate GOPers will reject him as much as Trump. He'll lose a general as bad or worse... While Trump might claim a handful of moderates, Cruz will literally lose the worst case in history on popular vote.

dc. Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 But he is the lesser of two evils.He's less evil in terms of damage to party long term (though, at this point, the damage is done... If Donald doesn't get the nomination, he'll trash the party). But Cruz is more evil in his actual views and pushing party further towards Tea Party. Establishment is trying to rein that in...

dc. Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Rubio totally still in it... First, all delegates today are proportional, so he's getting a lot and eating into Trump's ability to win the required 1270. More important, though, CNN just showed that without Kasich in the race, Rubio would have topped Trump in at least VA and maybe elsewhere. Hell, in VA, Rubio won most liberal and moderate districts... That's the guy they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
