I look for the GOP to have another 'scripted' convention.

I think the bridgework for a RINO-scripted convention is already being shattered right now.  Even if Trump wasn't a candidate, Bush and Rubio would still be struggling like hell to form a Boehner bond, or platform.

In '76 it was hard to tell if Ford was the last-minute groom.  By 'last minute', I mean not even in anybody's conversation at the '72 convention.  I was expecting VP Nellie... Rockefeller.  Ford was just filling-in.  I couldn't believe he announced he was running.  He never did anything in Congress to the level of say, Paul Ryan today.  I think Reagan screwed-up by announcing an ultra-moderate as his potential VP...  I had to look-up the spelling:  Schweiker, of Pennsylvania.

Plus, Ed Meese was sort of a floor-bully, trying to force a rule-change to make Ford choose a running-mate before Jesse Helms was ready to present one...  Bob Dole.  I'm not sure Reagan and Helms ever did get along.  The California-posse... after another Californian. 

Those were my impressions. 

Who you hire reveals who you are.

Kasich said in his speech announcing his candidacy that he's proud to have John Sununu on his team, and that he would have decided to not run if he didn't have Sununu.

So, what kind of person is John Sununu?  Here are two articles, one about him, and one by him:

http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2014/05/25/time-let-tea-party-puppy-love/OgnoLwKyKMK4Vuzu2T5wDP/story.html

Few articles ever written will inspire your disgust as much as this insult from John Sununu.  He characterizes Tea Partiers as teenage lovers who need to grow up and accept the superiority of Establishment corruption.  He says that "the Tea Party's genesis wasn't so much anti-establishment as it was anti-Obama" while hoping we ignore the fact that the Republican Establishment in Congress voted for much of Obama's agenda!

I never knew how to classify Sununu...  He caused a bit of a stink here:

I thought it odd that Kasich would bring in an old RINO yo run his campaign.
I mean think about it, Kasich is either truly stupid and out of touch as to the current hatred of the Establishment, or he hopes to suck some money from the party.

I just don't know, it makes no sense he'd come out of the gate with both leftist feet tied together.

On another note. I saw this post by one of the former idiots of the forum, claiming the Marxist wasn't out to destroy the country we all love.
I wonder when reality finally hit the idiot?

The people with the mental disorder are the ones that think Obummer is out to destroy this country.  He's not.

I don't understand how Kasich has already risen to the top ten candidates!

Fox polls have him tied with Cruz at 6%.... #9 & 10.

This is the poll that determines "which" debate you are in.

He has a lot of name recognition. Also, his resume' is fairly impressive. He is a true fiscal conservative. on other issues he is a RINO.

With so many Governors and ex-Governors in the race..... Christie cannot climb into the top ten.  His State is NOT so impressive!!

Damn, I was responding to you last night and the site flummox'd out.

Basically saying Kasich and Sununu are still living in the 90's.  Then I wove New England conservatism into a critique of Sununu, as a sort of RINO's on film summarization/summation...  From the beginning he's been anti-TEA, yamming from the comfort of a studio-setting.  I agree with his anti-lib core, but doesn't he ever appear live anymore?

Yeah, it was probably another attempted attack last night, a Denial of Service.
Chinese or Russians helping the Marxist Dims take down their enemy..

Mark Belling (filling in for Rush Limbaugh Monday December 28) said of Kasich that: 

It was a really bad deal for Ohio
when Kasich accepted federal money to expand Medicaid.
The Obamacare numbers are not adding up.  There will be a huge deficit.
The feds will have to cut their budget.  They'll have to cut funding to states.
Ohio will have to pick up the slack.
But hey, it'll be after Kasich leaves office.  It'll be somebody else's problem.

Who?

If  Kasich ever became a real blip on the radar screen, this could be easily pointed out by his opponents.

But that is only the tip of the iceberg on Kasich's RINO credentials IMHO.
