It's definitely a lose-lose situation but at least going independent would let them either preserve or recreate the type of party they want to be.

It wouldn't preserve anything. It'd create even more division. Though it won't happen, they will chicken out and no one of note is going to want to be a sacrificial lamb candidate.

Start?

It's already in progress.

It's not a war yet, not compared to what would happen with a 3rd party run.

 

[CCS]

Today in shocking news, encouraging an atmosphere of anger, hatred of the establishment, and a belief that victory is inevitable leads to angry, anti-establishment voters who believe their candidate cannot possibly lose.

Jeb could be the nominee after all..

Just saw Graham's comments and I'm dying. Today is such a bizarre day.

The hat. The hat.

It won't, though. There is a huge base that wants the Trump-type party. We might seriously be watching the end of the GOP as we know it.

 

[User 463088]

The power of Trump compels you

 

[Jarmel]

This just totally killed Rubio's press coverage.

 

[Brinbe]

Shameless. Christie is a self-serving piece of shit.

As fucked as the GOP establishment largely is, at least they believe in their bullshit conservative values and won't just attach themselves to the Trump ship at the first opportunity.

Might? At the rate we're going, no matter what happens the party will undergo a massive change in the coming years.

Amazing.

[Jarmel]

Christie has work to do in Florida.

On the prowl.

 

[Basileus777]

He's probably right. The writing is on the wall and Christie won't be the last person to see it.

 

[gcubed]

this reminds me of the best Trump line from the debate last night.

When questioned on how he can make up a 10 trillion dollar shortfall from his tax proposals his answer was (this was after they pointed out that what he said was under 100B): Waste! There is so much waste, fraud and abuse, we are going to clean that shit up!

He's probably right. The writing is on the wall and Christie won't be the last person to see it.

Christie had no future in the party anyway. Its not like he's losing anything

 

[Vinsanity.]

"we're going to have a great country again, it's gonna happen, we're gonna win a whole lot"

Trump says this literally every other second. Repetition really makes people believe this nonsense, huh. He has absolutely no substance.

"Hope and Change" "Hope and Change"

 

[Y2Kev]

Honestly any functioning adult would see these three clowns and vote for kasich. Holy shit this country has lost it.

 

[Mac_Lane]

This rally was unbelievable.

Please America, don't elect that utter fool, he sounds more and more dangerous by the minute.

I can hold you and splash something over you, can't promise it'll be water though

Christie wasting no time. One can only imagine just how much he must hate Rubio.

 

[Macho Madness]

If the GOP was full of rational people, we'd have a functioning government that makes progress.

 

[Basileus777]

He's far from being the only opportunist in the Republican Party.

 

[Bowdz]

This rally was unbelievable.

He needs to get the nomination nod first and then the destruction of Trump will begin in earnest. His base will never leave him, but you are already seeing cracks in the GOP establishment wall saying they'd take Hillary over Trump.

Promises promises. I could get into that. I'm free now....😝

 

[Jarmel]

I now want Bush to endorse Trump. We're almost there.

Huckabee needs to get on the Trump express and get to work.

It's frightening.

[Bel Marduk]

On the prowl.

He doesn't

Trump has a substantial lead over Rubio here just like he does everywhere else

SHUT UP

Sam Bee knows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBF3K5X6XE4

And that doesn't even get into the anti-labor and racist shit Kasich has pulled here.

 

[B-Dubs]

Huckabee needs to get on the Trump express and get to work.

Could you even imagine what a Jeb endorsement of Trump would look like? Jeb standing there all awkward as he endorses Trump, who then pushes him out of the way and starts to shittalk him right there on stage.

 

[gcubed]

He's far from being the only opportunist in the Republican Party.

oh, i didn't say he wasn't, but threatening him with being blackballed is irrelevant because he didn't have anything to be blackballed from.

 

[Bowdz]

Huckabee needs to get on the Trump express and get to work.

Yup.

Huckabee and Jeff Sessions before Tuesday, Scott before FL, game set match.

SHUT UP

I'm not saying he's a moderate. They're not moderate either. They're just not...children.

 

[Jarmel]

He doesn't

Trump has a substantial lead over Rubio here just like he does everywhere else

The bigger the blowout, the more embarassing it is for Rubio.

 

[User 463088]

What happened?

Haha nothing. I'm just free for splashing at the moment.

God that sounded better in my head.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Yeah.. as shit as he is.. (I know Manky, I know). At least the man seems semi-sane in some ways.

Promises promises. I could get into that. I'm free now....��

I'm sorry friend. At least you have your cats.

Edit- Oh good, I am glad it's okay. I thought you meant you broke up with your friend.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

I'm sensing more panic today than on the SC or NV election nights. Friend who worked for Jeb said the feel about last night was that Rubio did what he had to do and the endorsements were coming. Well the endorsements are still coming but Christie has people panicking due to the validation he gave Trump, and the potential for more from desperate officials.

Trump and Christie are destroying Rubio on some personal levels, this is insane. And given that Trump is probably going to sweep the south he could bury Rubio. I'm guessing the endorsements will come immediately after Super Tuesday. McCain, W, HW, etc.

 

[Guevara]

We're in this weird place where 20% of the GOP can see that Trump has it in the bag, how long and how painful it will be to convince the other 80%.

Whoops, meant to post this in the OT. I'm just a lurker here, awkward.

 

[CCS]

Haha nothing. I'm just free for splashing at the moment.

God that sounded better in my head.

Haha I could continue with the innuendo, but I'd rather get back to fantasizing about Christie destroying Rubio

did it? did it really?

 

[Basileus777]

The bigger the blowout, the more embarassing it is for Rubio.

Rubio's campaign would be over if he lost Florida, margin wouldn't even matter as it's a winner take all state.

 

[Jarmel]

Now does Kasich drop out after Ohio and endorse Trump?

 

[JesseEwiak]

SHUT UP

Sam Bee knows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBF3K5X6XE4

And that doesn't even get into the anti-labor and racist shit Kasich has pulled here.

Kasich is an asshole Republican, but he sounds like every other asshole Republican I've heard since I was a kid. Trump, Cruz, etc. are different.

and if Trump still gets the nomination after all that then what?

 

[Veritigo_X]

He's going to have a ton of pressure to drop out now and endorse Rubio.

I don't think he will though.

How's that not innuendo? 😝 My berniebro was texting me through this whole thing in total shock. I mean my god. What have we done?

Endorsements for Kasich?

 

[Jarmel]

It's about image. Either way it looks bad but the image you got schooled in your home state is worse than if you loss by a narrow margin.
