I used to like him, until he got behind McConnell in this last Kentucky Primary. Matt Bevin could have won if Rand and Rubio weren't on the establishment dole supporting Mitch, imo. They do not have Cruz's backbone.

He should have listened to his mom last year when she originally said there are plenty of other well qualified people, and that we dont need another Bush. Think about how pissed those donors are? You know they were pushed to give money, and all would be well. Now, they lost it all and will not have that influence they wanted.

Bloomberg) -- Jeb Bush plans to meet with former rivals for the Republican presidential nomination Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich this week in Miami, a spokeswoman said.
Florida, which Bush once governed, holds a crucial primary on March 15. That contest could set up a one-on-one showdown between Cruz and billionaire Donald Trump if native son Rubio falters there. Kasich has said he'll drop out of the race if he doesn't win his home-state primary in Ohio that same day.
Bush, who dropped out after a poor showing in South Carolina last month, hasn't endorsed any candidate yet—including Rubio, whom he mentored in the Florida statehouse years ago. His plans, reported earlier Wednesday by the Washington Post, were confirmed by aide Kristy Campbell.
Cruz campaigned on Wednesday in Miami, where Bush lives. At Miami-Dade College downtown, Cruz said the results of Tuesday’s nominating contests—where Trump dominated three states while Cruz won one—show that he's the only remaining bona fide challenger to Trump.
“It is a simple question of math whether or not a candidate can get to 1,237 delegates,” Cruz said. The race “will end up one-on-one with me and Donald Trump. Head to head, we win.”

I saw that as well. Worked out well for him yesterday. Love him or hate him, Trump has changed the game. The days of hand picked, fat cat backed candidates waltzing into the White House are done.
The old stand by knock on Trump is he is not a "true conservative" or a "real republican" etc. If he continues to pile up wins in the Republican primaries, does that not tell us he represents the thoughts and frustrations of a very large percentage of current Republican voters? Do the millions of registered Republican voters decide what is the current state of the Repubican party or do a few career politicians and TV talking heads?
If I was able to register independent and still vote in the primaries, I would. I'm fed up with the Republican party all together. This entire process has exposed these people for what they are, self serving, agenda driven shysters. The arrogance and lack of humility in the wake of what their voter base is telling them is beyond infuriating to me.

All in all I think after this go around it looks like the GOP will splinter like the wigs and might be around for another 10 years.
And I take Trumps word of possible riots if they rob him of the nomination, as he has the most loyal followings that I have seen in years.

I keep seeing the same thing when it comes to the nasty protesters at Trump rallies. Red communist flags, burning the American flag, stomping on the American flag, swearing at people going into the rallies, free palestine, black lives matter, moveon.org, and other groups.
Today they shut down a highway in Arizona, and while many of them I am sure cried about Chris Christie and "bridgegate" I am sure they have no problem when it comes to people trying to get to a funeral, a wedding, or deliver a baby.
Screw them. All they are doing is making trum stronger.

i think it already did splinter. When the bailouts were first announced, the GOP's supported them. It took about three days for the anti-bailout people to figure out that they didn't want them. I was listening to Dave Ramsey when he came out and announced that he wouldn't support any bailouts. He started off by saying that what he was about to say would sound wrong, but you needed to hear him out.... At that moment when he said he was aginst bail-outs, i knew if he carried any weight with the idea, there was going to be a big split in conservatism. Family values should at minimum include the notion that every child has a dry warm bed and vittles regardless of how screwed up their parents are. Ramsey always gave excellent advice as far i was concerned, until he came up with the anti-bailout notions. Beleive me i don't like the bail-outs, but i listened very carefully to my Grandparents stories of the Great Depression- it was a national disgrace. We could just as easliy have taken all that bail-out money and dsitributed it evenly amongst all the adults in America and gotten better job growth out of it than we actually got, but that's not really the point. Bush had actually done that twice already in much smaller amounts than they had to use in '08. The point was and remains that the USA was robbed by white-collar workers primarily on Wall st and in the Banking biz and not one thing has changed to keep that from happening again. The only two candidates who are not owned by the same people who caused the collapse are Bernie and the Donald. Trump is at least a Capitalist.... I'm not even sure what Bernie is...
