Panic in the GOP elite! Is this a job for Mitt?!?!?

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/13/1449492/-Panic-in-the-GOP-elite-Is-this-a-job-for-Mitt



The fact that Donald Trump and Ben Carson are still around and are still sucking the oxygen out of the primary race is causing real panic among Republican elites. All their hopes that either of the two would self-destruct are not materializing, because no matter what these guys say, people seem to like it, and that makes it very difficult for another candidate to try to destroy them. What's more, there's not a lot of time to do something about it...

is pretty pathetic but I guess they could do worse.

How is it that they can't run anything but laughable candidates on the national stage but states are swamped with people whom are just as bad at the local, state, and Congressional levels. Is it just the massive right-wing Gerrymandering that elects/keeps the crazies in power locally (but can't help at the national level)?

The nut cases won't be fooled into supporting someone who isn't just like them. Besides, if the repubs want someone they can count on to do the bidding of their masters, they already have Rubio....

non-media outlets "bloggers" run with it because nothing else to talk about-

main-stream media might pick it up later in afternoon as nothing to talk about-



Rinse-
repeat next day
