Just sayin' ..... the clown bus is going to crash, the convention will be deadlocked and, riding in on a pink unicorn, Romney will save the day!

The way this gong show is going don't be surprised to see Sarah Palin ride down the center aisle of a deadlocked convention on a white horse....for once she will be an equal among her peers.

Lol.... trump is currently stealing the show but everybody has forgotten about Bush who still has 96 a million dollars in the bank more than any other candidate by about 3 times. Well except for Trump who can spend his own money. But I'm still not really sure he's trying to be president.

There is still hope for the establishment.
Convince a few establishment also rans pulling in a few percentage appoints apiece (e.g., Christie, Kasich, graham, maybe bush) to pull out and throw their support behind someone who could win, I.e., Rubio, while there is still time.

If even by New Year’s Day (a month before the Iowa caucuses, which are scheduled for Feb. 1) only about one-third of Iowa voters will have come to their final decision, the percentage must be even lower now — perhaps something like 20 percent of voters are locked in. When you see an Iowa poll, you should keep in mind that the real situation looks something more like this:
CANDIDATE SUPPORT IN IOWA
Undecided 80%
Donald Trump 5
Ben Carson 4
Ted Cruz 3
Marco Rubio 2
Jeb Bush 1
Carly Fiorina 1
Mike Huckabee 1
Chris Christie 1

If Jeb really has that $96 million maybe the Bush dynasty is planning something. With the amounts of money and ridiculous nonsense involved, I find the notion that we have free elections implausible. Obama was talked about as a president way back in 1990. And that young Hispanic guy from Texas (sorry I forget his name) is looking like the next rising star. According to wiki Jeb made a couple millions as an advisor to Tenet Health care company (whatever that is) as a result of Obamacare. Then ya got the Clintons and American thinks they are liberals! This sh#t doesn't make sense.

Hahahahaha....... I don't get no respect, but this is from Talking Points Memo, 03/02/16:
One day after Donald Trump's racked up a slew of Super Tuesday victories, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced a Thursday event to talk about 2016.
The former Massachusetts governor is scheduled to address "the state of the 2016 presidential race" at the University of Utah, according to a statement.
The Hinckley Institute of Politics event is slated to start at 11:30 a.m. ET.
The announcement immediately kicked off speculation that Romney plans to jump into the Republican 2016 race, as Trump's path to the party nomination becomes more and more clear.
Romney recently attacked the Republican frontrunner for not releasing his tax returns, an issue that dogged his presidential bid in 2012.

Well, still, maybe..........
Craig Fry from the Donald thread:
I still think that there is a high possibility that the GOP will Dump Trump at the convention
and nominate someone way better, like Paul Ryan/Romney
or Palin, or Cruz,
or some real person that people actually like that changes everything
We have to be prepared for any possibility, since the right wing will work every angle to achieve their goal of winning elections

Saw a sound bite with Cruz today. He said he is still not ready to endorse trump.
