Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* \u201cWoo\u201d Lindsey Graham. \u00a1Jeb! would just have to wink at him and speak a little Spanish-accented English to have him swooning, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

* \u201cMr. Bush immediately sent him a message, and the two men spoke on the phone later that day, when Mr. Bush made his pitch\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

So in this relationship Jeb Bush is the pitcher. I always suspected\u2026<\/p>\n

* \u201cMr. Bush immediately sent him a fruit basket, and the two men spoke on the phone later that day, when Mr. Bush made his pitch\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

* Clearly this is too ridiculous, even for GOP \u201celites\u201d. My theory is that Yeb is secretly an iSteve fan, and is simply trying to feed Mr. Sailer some layups before he (Se\u00f1or Bush) officially drops out of the race and fades into cucky oblivion.<\/p>\n

* Of all the damn people\u2026 Lindsey Graham.<\/p>\n

A true cuckservative with a face just begging to hit with a frying pan. Apparently he\u2019s considered an expert on foreign policy and national security. No really. The same guy who said Saddam Hussein was a destabilizing force in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The same moron who said this:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m president of the United States and you\u2019re thinking about joining al-Qaeda or ISIL, I\u2019m not gonna call a judge,\u201d Graham said. \u201cI\u2019m gonna call a drone and we will kill you\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lindsey Grahamnesty needs to stay out politics. Jebito continues to be an unattractive presidential candidate everyday.<\/p>\n

* Go look at Trump\u2019s Twitter avatar pic. He\u2019s squinting and surveying like a captain on deck during wartime.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t know what Jeb!\u2019s Twitter pic is but I\u2019m absolutely positive it communicates softness.<\/p>\n

* Throughout the campaign, Mr. Bush had made a point of texting Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina weekly, just to check in. <\/i><\/p>\n

So Jeb is an eager beta in that relationship too.<\/p>\n

On the morning Mr. Graham dropped out of the race for president, Mr. Bush was ready with the hard sell.<\/i><\/p>\n

Shut up, Beavis. Sell IS a four-letter word though. <\/p>\n

Mr. Bush immediately sent him a message, and the two men spoke on the phone later that day, when Mr. Bush made his pitch.<\/i><\/p>\n

You mean he’s pitcher, not a catcher?<\/p>\n

Mr. Graham has publicly said he has no plans to endorse anyone right now. Many believe that privately, however, he is strongly leaning toward Mr. Bush.<\/i><\/p>\n

I hate that kind of innuendo. Who was doing what to whom?<\/p>\n

* Graham is the favorite of the \u201cForget the Euphrates, On to the Tigris\u201d big money neocons and defense contractors. Yes, they are few in number but all have very deep pockets and lots of influence. Don\u2019t think for a minute that these donors don\u2019t know all about Graham\u2019s skeletons, but they have decided to see them as a plus since it means that they have \u201cPurdy Mouth\u201d entirely under their control.<\/p>\n

For now \u00a1Jeb! may want to be able to distance himself from Dubya\u2019s disastrous foreign policy but he also knows that he will still need to have access to lots of neocon and defense industry donor cash to win the general election.<\/p>\n

If Yeb can somehow reemerge as the Establishment Republicans\u2019 favorite Cuck of choice, or at least last cuck standing, then being able to count on Lindsay to throw a couple of cocktail parties on his behalf is a huge advantage.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Graham is a pimp\/gatekeeper to Neocon\/Defense Contractor universe just as David Geffen is to the Hollywood Lefty\/ Gay Jewish Mafia set.<\/p>\n

If the thought of having to \u201cWoo\u201d Prissy Graham makes you nauseous , think of what having to slip into a hot tub with David Geffen would do to you.<\/p>\n

* The GOP establishment still don\u2019t understand the rejection of Neoconservatism by the wide population, its like they have no idea and despise their voters which is probably true.<\/p>\n

Is there any surprise why Trump is being successful? He sides with the American people and not with the Plutocracy.<\/p>\n

* I have a feeling that if Jeb woos Lindsey!, both men might have a chance to come out on top.<\/p>\n

* Bush + Graham:<\/p>\n

A drowning man begging to be thrown an anvil.<\/p>\n

* Yup, its not about Graham voters but his powerful Neocon connections that Jeb really wants.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard educated people say that during the Bush II administration there was crypto-war between Bush and Neocons, the Neocons wanted Bush to invade Syria, Iran and start a confrontation with Russia all which Bush II refused, the Iraq mistake was enough for him.<\/p>\n

Obama has been Neocon friendly, his Syria and Russia policy is made by them.<\/p>\n

* I fully anticipated this move. When Real Clear Politics ran a piece back on December 21 re Lindsey Graham\u2019s withdrawal from the Republican race, I posted as follows: \u201cI am looking forward to watching the mad scramble to secure Graham\u2019s \u201cbase\u201d of between 0 and 1% of Republican voters. I think we are in \u201clipstick on a pig\u201d territory.\u201d<\/p>\n

* Yeb! Please! No!. An endorsement from Miss Lindsey would be the Kiss of Death!<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m guessing the \u201cconsultants\u201d are thinking that Graham can somehow deliver the voters that re-elected him to the Senate. However, with the emergence of a candidate (Trump) who is actually willing to say what the GOP primary voters are thinking, the electorate\u2019s mood has shifted sharply since then (from \u201d *sigh* I suppose\u201d to \u201cOh, hey-ull NO!\u201d) . Graham would have about as much chance of being re-elected if the election were this year as he would of being able to deliver those voters to Bush.<\/p>\n

To demonstrate these chances, I\u2019ll use this flamethrower and this snowball\u2026.<\/p>\n

* My impression is the candidates other than Trump and Cruz have all but given up on the voters. The others are appealing directly to party leadership, in the hopes that Trump\u2019s mouth or RNC machinations will sink him, at which point it\u2019s a whole new ballgame, and whoever the elite finds most appealing will be handed the nomination on the floor of the convention, or something. It\u2019s as if there are two races going on.<\/p>\n

All I know is when I start reading up on the rules of the process, my eyes roll into the back of my head and my hatred of politics and political people surges. To imagine someone who takes pleasure, objective enjoyment, out of this shit! I would throw myself out a window if I had to spend time in a room full of these people.<\/p>\n

Lindsey! may be the least appealing candidate to voters and other humans, but his policies make him the most appealing to the party establishment and donors. If not for his complete lack of rapport with voters, he\u2019d be the RNC\u2019s favorite. Bush wants his backers, for the Deep Campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
