Poll: Which Candidate Does Bush Exit Help Most?

by  •  • 1 Comment

Michigan GOP leadership now will look to others with Bush exit from Race.

PollThe SC Republican presidential primary in 2016 had a nearly 25% greater turnout than in 2012.

The less than 8% showing by Jeb Bush was enough for him to declare “no mas!” and suspend his campaign.  Both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz will be expecting to see some of the support Bush formerly held.

Michigan establishment players had been strongly in the Bush camp even throughout the miserable polling and results of the first two voting/caucus events.  Only now have they been released to look at the other candidates.  We ask, “Who do you think will benefit from Jeb Bush dropping out?”

Let’s look at this through the lens of reality for just a moment, and hope it sinks in…Money buys power, which in turn buys more money, through the trading of favors…Both parties hand pick their candidates for primary elections, which would appear to be ‘normal’ on its face, but they also provide these people with a well oiled mechanism not only to win, but also to destroy any and all competition…This was demonstrated with devastating effectiveness in the 2014 37th District Senate primary…Republican establishment lobbyists and support groups attacked Greg MacMaster with hideous ads and heralded the ‘virtues’ of Wayne Schmidt as a true ‘conservative’…When confronted (personally, by me) with the blatant lies and pandering of the campaign ads, Wayne simply said “I didn’t put those out.”…So I guess that made it just fine with him…

PastedGraphic-1There was also this mailer (again, “I didn’t put those out,”) that our ‘conservative’ Senator-to-be used to encourage ‘crossover’ voting in the primary…

Please note that the “League of Conservation Voters” (responsible for this, and many radio and TV ads) is NOT a ‘conservative’ organization, but Senator Schmidt had no problem embracing this support…and refuses to reject it and its venom…
