    Always keep something in mind, while most Fox hosts and guests are rightwing outside the election years?

    DURING an election year....Fox is strictly Republican. IOW, if it comes down to supporting the Republican Party Leadership's choice over some Tea Party wacko?

    Fox will back the RNC and the "Establishment" over the "pure conservative."

    Much to my surprise it turns out that, indeed, Bush is ahead - this likely because of the hate filled radicalism shown by Trump who had taken the initial lead. His bigoted words cost him a lot of support and Bush has benefited from that.


    As for your prediction, yes the critics such as Rush Limbaugh will accuse the Democrats of spewing hate against Bush - but, mark my words - the criticism used against Bush by Dems will first be used by Republicans in the debates.


    This is what happened during the last two elections - Democrats used words that were initially used by Republicans against each other during the debates. This because of the hate and emotionalism always used by those on the far right. When used by Republicans, it is ok to use such words. But when re-echoed by Dems it becomes "hate".

    Warning, warning! Natty Bumpo.....alias grammar police, is in the house. :roll:

    Excuse me. Trite might be an adjective but triteness is a noun. So allow me to rephrase......your endless, ignorant, sarcastic triteness. How's that? :roflol:

    And since we're in the mood for correcting.....you're looking for the word "quite", not "quit". :roflol:

    Finally for the record, in my short time here, I've found very little, if anything, you've posted to be humorous.

    Like I said, Dick Morris was made the scapegoat for "Romney Landslide"....but there were others claiming it too, including Fox's Stuart Varney who dubbed all the "Romney losing" polls as "scientific gobbledegook"....

    and of course El Rushbo.....who also predicted a Romney "landslide".

    (Later after Romne lost, Rush naturally told his ditto-heads "I knew Romney would lose the whole time." :) )

    - - - Updated - - -

    Limbaugh himself, despite being a fan of Dubya, has attacked Jeb openly....

    naturally, once the Primaries start, Rush will back off...and once Jeb wins the Nomination, Rush will claim "Jeb and I have been friends for years....he's part of the reason I moved to Florida."


    And the ditto-heads won't remember anything Rush said in 2015 and before.....as usual.

    Glad to be of help.

    Sorry about your inability to appreciate the humour of it all. That Trump is really a hoot!

    Mann Coulter predicted that Romney would lose...

    "If we don’t run Chris Christie for President, then Romney will win the nomination and we’ll lose in 2012"

    Haven't heard her singing the praises of Christie lately though...LOL

    Besides Limbaugh, an ensemble cast of their media entertainers were orchestrating the delusion:

    In The Blaze's "Romney Landslide!" article of Nov. 4, 2012, there was no shortage of fantasy indulged in by the GOP's brain trust:

    Larry Kudlow: ”I am now predicting a 330 vote electoral landslide.”

    Karl :Turdblossom" Rove: My prediction: Sometime after the c ock crows on the morning of Nov. 7, Mitt Romney will be declared America’s 45th president. Let’s call it 51%-48%, with Mr. Romney carrying at least 279 Electoral College votes, probably more.”

    Dick Morris: Romney "will get 351 electoral votes, a landslide about equal to Obama’s 363 vote tally in 2008. [Politico]

    Michael Barone: The Washington Examiner columnist says Romney will walk away with 315 electoral votes: ”Bottom line: Romney 315, Obama 223.

    George Will predicts 321-217 Romney landslide [Daily Caller]

    Glenn Beck: “321-217 victory for Romney in the electoral college.”​


    Of course, knowledgeable Americans who had been following statistician Nate Silver's astute analysis for months was not fooled by the crackpot wishful "thinking" of the hyper-partisan entertainers on the eve of Obama's easy victory.

    Silver had correctly predicted the outcome of every state, and that drove the wacko birds berserk.

    This OP is factually inaccurate.

    Trump is running #2 in New Hampshire right now, not Scott Walker. Here are the latest numbers:

    Here is the national picture:

    Jeb Bush does NOT "have a clear lead".

    He's barely hanging on, and his 0.1% lead is disappearing fast.

    The words he used will now be employed by Dems in the campaign and the right wingers will now say those words are suddenly "hate".
