5. A lesson learned from the legend of Eric Cantor............

Jeb Bush may be finished but Teapublicans being what they are, whatever replacement they choose to hold on high will be more out of touch, more crazy and more vile than old Jeb himself could have imagined.

8. The entire party is out of touch. There are no moderates left in the GOP so it really doesn't matter

I'm just hopeful we'll not see another member of their family sitting in the WH. Even hearing the name Bush this week, made my blood boil.

Cantor was defeated by a huge influx of 'dark money' into Brat's campaign! If the Koch Bros. and the rest of the .01% want Jebbie, he'll at least get the nomination.

In a party that nominated his idiot brother and propelled him dishonestly into the Oval Office, we can't count anybody out from that rat pack. They're bat shit enough to have Herman Cain be their front runner again for a while, and then nominate Rand Paul with Michele Bachmann as his running mate (term to be interpreted as loosely as you see fit).

Slim and none. The rest can't play on the national stage and have no legitimate shot at 270 electoral votes

12. "legitimate shot"

Believe me, if they think they have a shot, it won't matter to them if it's legitimate or not.

If Hillary's the nominee, they'll spend a billion dollars trying to convince America she's Frau Blücher, but it will only work with Foxsuckers and fans of National Hate Radio. But that presumes Hillary will run, and despite all the media hype, I'm not completely convinced she will. Oh she'd love to be president, alright. I'm just not convinced she'd love to be a CANDIDATE for president again.

Remember her remark after the Libya upheaval a couple of years ago..."what next, Africa?"

Le sigh...

The more the Iraq War comes into the headlines the more people are reminded that his little brother the dumbshit started the war.

It becomes absurd to even try. Talk radio has had radicalization effects that has moved the Right into Fascist ideology. They have no room for moderate or centrist thinking. And they have a White Supremacy/Crony Capitalism problem that the middle class does not identify with.
