Good day all. Remember the presidential candidacy of Senator Lindsey Graham, (RINO-SC)? No? Don’t worry about it, no one else does either. After he dropped out of the race, Senator RINO endorsed Jeb! Bush. We know how well that worked out for Bush.
Graham, or Linseed Grahamnesty as he is also known, (For his support for open borders and amnesty for criminal aliens), came up with, what he thinks is a smashingly brilliant idea. In order to stop Donald Trump, how about a Marco Rubio/John Kasich ticket? Now, if you have stopped laughing, Graham, and a few others, are actually very serious about this. Here are the details from The Hill:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is urging leading Republican presidential candidates behind Donald Trump to unite in an effort to bring down the GOP front-runner.
“I think a Kasich-Rubio ticket would be great,” Graham said late Sunday during an interview with Rita Cosby on WABC, describing Kasich as a “terrific” governor of Ohio and Rubio as a “very, very talented” senator from Florida.
“Rubio-Kasich, Kasich-Rubio — I think those combinations, if they could consolidate and come together, would be [a] very potent ticket in the fall and maybe help us stop Trump,” Graham said on the program before also floating a potential “Rubio-Kasich-Cruz alliance.”
I can see why Graham is more excited than going to the grand opening of a fabric store. (H/T Ann Coulter) Kasich is basically a Democrat. Marco The Rubot is the newest heartthrob for the open borders RINO’s of the GOP(e). Those two have yet to win anything, and Kasich is essentially out of money. As to why Senator Light in the Loafers thinks a Rubot/Kasich ticket is a great idea? He’s worried that Trump will change the Republican party.
Graham suggested that a Trump presidency would “change the party for the worse.”
Let’s see, do you mean making the party actually pay attention to the conservative, (Real ones, not the pretend ones like Graham, Rubot and Kasich), Tea Party and Constitutionalists that they’ve been ignoring for decades? Or is there another reason?
“Donald Trump would get wiped out in November, but really make it hard for the party to succeed in the future,” Graham said Sunday, arguing that Kasich and Rubio could help bring out voters in Ohio and Florida, which are swing states in the general election.
“I didn’t make it, Jeb didn’t make it, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But I can tell you this, that I think I understand the nation pretty well in terms of what problems we have as Republicans,” Graham said, ripping Trump’s rhetoric on Hispanics and his “race baiting and religious bigotry.”
Graham is a part of the problem, but flat out can’t see it. The Establishment has finally pushed the base to the breaking point, and they are breaking…to Trump. After decades of one loser candidate after another, where the base was told to hold their nose and mark the ballot, the base is saying ENOUGH!
Watching all the pundits and the talking heads, mostly on Fox, I can see that they, for the most part, do not have a clue. With the death of Justice Scalia, McConnell the Wimp said that there would be no supreme court justice approved until the next president takes office. Then the little yellow coward began walking back the remark.
If the RINO’s in the senate approve another Obama pick at this late stage, then we can kiss the Republic goodbye, and the Republicans can kiss their own seats goodbye as well. Most of them are probably looking at their last terms in office, thanks to their lies, cowardice and incompetence. People want candidates who won’t cave in to the PLFD’s and right now, that is Donald Trump. Suck it up you losers.

If he truly wants to have a chance, he should be proposing Cruz-Rubio instead. Even that might not be enough. Probably wouldn’t, because I could see the oil-and-water mix causing some disillusionment among both groups of followers. So I’d still have my doubts they could win… both in the primary AND afterward. And further doubts that they really SHOULD. But it’s the only combination with a realistic chance. Kasich is not even a bad pun, much less a good joke.
Earlier, I was thinking of a Trump/Cruz ticket, but those two have nuked each other from orbit, so I’m pretty sure it won’t happen. Perhaps Trump/Carson?
Yeah I’d expected Trump/Cruz at one point too, but it does seem unlikely anymore. I’m not entirely sure who initiated the firebombing. It seemed like Trump with the birther bit, but Cruz has pulled a few dumb plays of his own and one of them might have not actually gained significant public recognition yet still pissed off Trump enough to “publicly” start it. Oh well, too late now. It would have made sense in the past, but the bridge has probably taken at least 3 megatons of overkill by this point.
Trump/Carson has been bandied about. It makes sense on some levels. I still don’t expect it, for some reason. It’s just TOO predictable, TOO obvious, and what has Trump done yet that was even halfway predictable (by “normal” rules, at least)?
Cruz/Rubio has some chance but Rubio is hated by many Cruz supporters for his shamnesty lies, so I don’t think it has a good chance. But it has more of one than Cruz on his own. Way more of one.
I think this is part of the source of the hatred that some Cruz supporters have been showing more of lately. Many don’t want to admit it but they have to know their odds are extremely low and as they realize that they always were that low they’re getting angry and lashing out. It’s sad. They’re right that Trump isn’t remotely a “true” conservative, but he’s the ONLY shot they have of getting somebody who’s not either a cuckservative or worse an outright commie or kleptocrat. If Cruz truly had ever really had a shot, it would be different. But he doesn’t and didn’t. The GOPe made sure of that with their arcane rules designed to force a brokered convention. Had Trump not entered, the nominee would be Jeb or Rubio or some other similar joke and it would just be designated loser v3.0 (McCain/Romney/next).
Trump’s not actually good in my book. He’s just the best* of an utterly putrid lot.
(*after you exclude “no-hopes” like Cruz and Perry and Walker, all of whom I have liked to at least some degree, but none of whom ever really had a shot)
Initially I thought a Trump/Cruz combo would be good but as you noted they appear to be busy fire bombing each other. Also I’ve started having doubts about Ted Cruz’s eligibility. The more details I learn about his situation the more I doubt that he meets the NBC requirement. There is no doubt that he was a Canadian citizen and Canada only started allowing dual citizenship in 1977. Cruz was born in 1970 The demonrats would wait till he was nominated and then bring it up thereby assuring a Hillary win.
