I read this today.

There are also plenty of reasons to run for president beyond just winning. Sometimes it’s about trying to move the needle on a particular policy point. Sometimes it’s a bid to get back into the public eye. Sometimes it’s about book sales and TV gigs, and sometimes it’s just about ego. Or all of these things combined.

And Hillary looks to be running unopposed and that is a very uncomfortable feeling for me. And if Jeb Bush is the eventual GOP nominee, they will begin to sound like running mates.

My thinking is they are flooding the field to make it impossible to fund going negative. That and 30 people on stage going all negative slam on Hillary is going to alienate 47% of the voting public.

It's the same old list of weirdos from the last go around.

At what point does this house of cards finally catch a breeze and scatter to the winds?

You're not giving the GOPers anywhere near enough credit. They have an endless supply of nut cases. The Klown Kar has a whole bunch of new passengers, some Krazier than in 2012. To name but a few, there's Cruz and Christie and Paul the Younger and Bolton Fiorina too but she ran for the Senate last time.

So what do you think is their strategy/game plan?

Alienate the 47% to the point where they don't vote (voter suppresion) or you predict that the 47% is going to get turned off against the GOP candidate. I can see this go either way though in the end this will all come down to the swing states, money and negative advertising.

You're right.

They get crazier with very election cycle.

I never thought I'd say this, but right now in 2015 George W. Bush, who was by far and away the worst President in my lifetime, is now, by comparison, not looking so bad.
