GOP field is winnowing
 

Latest news on the GOP presidential candidates, about six of them are broke or soon to go broke. This should narrow the field very soon. Interesting that all six are career politicians while Trump, Carson and Fiorina are the front runners. So only six standing up at the next debate?

Six cash-strapped Republican White House hopefuls face tipping point

Is there anyone in the country that really thought any one of these six had a chance.....

No, but I didn't think Trump or Carson had a chance either, but they are leading the field. I thought Jeb would walk away with it. He's still got a good chance though because the big money players want him.

Superpacs....are the candidates able to pocket money from them?

Or pay a son or daughter a $100k salary for being a campaign consultant?

Then have it go back to daddy or mommy?

Great to see those asshats as much fiscally bankrupt as they are morally bankrupt. :)

I think pretty much everyone thought that Bush, or maybe Rubio, would sail into the nomination. And who knows? They still might get it after the Republican base comes out of the ether.

On the one hand, it doesn't surprise me that these three assholes - sorry, they really are assholes - have excited the Republican base. What surprises me is the amount of big money Carson and Fiorina have attracted. (Trump's using his own big money.)

Who knew billionaires could be so stupid??

Answer to your question is going to be murky but from the article I linked, Perry's SuperPac returned the money to the donors.

Infighting is brewing in Florida. :D
Trump is already battling Bush and Carly, Carson and Trump are joined at the waist, Kasich is looking on and Cruz is lurking in the background. I do love political fights, brings out the real 'me' in them.

The rivalry between Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio just burst out into the open

So Rubio is not going to be Jeb's VP afterall? ;)

I dunno. Saint Ronnie and Rubbers had some pretty rough patches in 1980.

We have the master-protegee dynamic at work with unfulfilled promises perhaps.

According to the latest Polls Fearina is fading.

She's now in 5th place behind Bush and Rubio that are duking it out for 3rd.

The thing is, Bush has the cash to stay in until the crazies self destruct. Depending on how and why they blow up, Jeb! could be the beneficiary.

I think he'll go broke trying to keep up.

The Republican base wants Trump because they're tired of the arrogant, self aggrandizing ways of Barak Obama.


Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

The latest from the favorite of the 25% ultra-moronic Republican voters:

And the number 2 idiot is still at 23% even though Republican voters have had 7 months to figure him out:

It's not even a sentence.

Can 50% of Republican voters really be this stupid? Yes!!!

They have had memory problems and honesty problems on tape for many years now and still fail to realize it's being taped....

Trailing in Polls, Jeb Bush Cuts Staff and Salaries, Vowing Focus on Early States

Latest polls put him at 5% trailing the three marauders.
Here is a good line: It is “an unbelievable position to be twisted into from ‘shock and awe’ to aw, shucks,” this person said.

I am beginning to think that Jeb? is losing credibility and will not recover. Trump could be right, he is weak or made a mistake by going after Trump.

"When somebody screws you, screw them back in spades."

Donald Trump

His public demeanor suggests a degree of uncertainty and confusion, sometimes bordering on panic.

I really never had any exposure to him when he was screwing up Florida so I don't know whether he seemed more poised and self-possessed then but these days he really comes across as pretty much of a mess.

He was very arrogant when he was governor of Florida.

A lot like his brother when he was President, only Jeb seemed to be smarter.

I'm really surprised at his lack of competence now.

Maybe it's because he finally ran into someone that's a bigger bully than he is, Trump.

Bullies that suddenly find the tables turned on them often do fold up like a cheap suit.

I just had a thought. He may well be in a panic. He's looking down the barrel of a humiliating failure. His father was president, his brother was president and Jeb! is the one "Bar" always thought would be president.

But it looks a whole lot like he's going to have to fold his tent before the first primary. That's the sort of failure that would really spook a guy like him.
