Repubs Crying for Mitt!

Time for GOP panic? Establishment worried Carson or Trump might win.

Less than three months before the kickoff Iowa caucuses, there is growing anxiety bordering on panic among Republican elites about the dominance and durability of Donald Trump and Ben Carson and widespread bewilderment over how to defeat them.

Party leaders and donors fear that nominating either man would have negative ramifications for the GOP ticket up and down the ballot, virtually ensuring a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency and increasing the odds that the Senate falls into Democratic hands.

The party establishment is paralyzed. Big money is still on the sidelines. No consensus alternative to the outsiders has emerged from the pack of governors and senators running, and there is disagreement about how to prosecute the case against them. Recent focus groups of Trump supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire commissioned by rival campaigns revealed no silver bullet.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, herself an outsider who rode the tea party wave into office five years ago, explained the phenomenon.

“You have a lot of people who were told that if we got a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate, then life was gonna be great,” she said in an interview Thursday. “What you’re seeing is that people are angry. Where’s the change? Why aren’t there bills on the president’s desk every day for him to veto? They’re saying, ‘Look, what you said would happen didn’t happen, so we’re going to go with anyone who hasn’t been elected.’ ”

The insurgency mounts, Muahhaha!

I knew Trump is Hillary's best man.

Maybe Mitt Can Fix It, LOL

What is a dying-out party of cranky white dudes supposed to do? Find a Republican savior, stat. But since there is no Republican out there who can save the party, how’s about the guy who has a gold-plated record of delivering defeat?

Save us, Mitt, save us please!

Ya, I posted a bit somewhere down in the basement that Bill Clinton gave some advice to the Donald, before he announced. I speculated that Bill egged Donald on, to insure Hillary's election. The Donald is just fucking with the Repugs.

I agree that Trump isn't serious. His motivation is more selfish though. It's publicity and money.

Why would we want Mitt? He had a perfect opportunity to win and he couldn't deliver. I would never have voted for him based on my religious beliefs but many were willing to look past that and he still failed.

Conservatives need someone not running a popularity contest. I believe Scott Walker could have done it. I am very disappointed he dropped out.
