      Nothin' left to lose.

      Jeb Bush on Monday challenged Republican front-runner Donald Trump to a one-on-one debate.

          Trump has already wiped the floor with Jeb, and would continue to do so in a 1-on-1. Not because he's a more skilled debater or has a better platform (to the contrary, he's displayed neither), but because he's already rolling and his "I'm Type A++" shtick resonates with the most impulsive, "us vs. them" conservatives.

          It would be great if Trump would call his bluff here and agree to such a debate, but I don't think the RNC would go for it.

          Sorry Jebbers, it's time to let it go. The Bush political dynasty is over, and you can thank W for that.

            Interesting take.

            There's been a lot of third-party talk among Republicans lately. Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol is perhaps the most prominent conservative leader to say we need "a new party" if Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination. Trump, who flirted with seeking the 2000 Reform Party nomination, has occasionally threatened to desert the Republicans if they don't pick him as their presidential candidate.

            All this runs counter to the lessons of the country's recent election cycles. Trump has been so successful in part because, unlike Ross Perot, he doesn't have to divert his considerable resources into making an independent candidacy viable. He's running as a third-party candidate within the Republican Party itself.
            The article goes on to make a pretty good argument for the thesis that recent political protests are being run from inside the major parties rather than by using third parties. In short, serious protesters understand that the fix is in and third parties are not just critically hamstrung but also ignored by the media. The solution is to run your protest campaign as a major party nomination candidacy. Even though you won't win, you'll reach far more people and have far more influence than if you ran as a third party candidate.

              Umberto Eco's excellent 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism" covers this perfectly:

              3. Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake. Action being
              beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is
              a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical
              attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism,
              from Goering's alleged statement ("When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun") to the
              frequent use of such expressions as "degenerate intellectuals," "eggheads," "effete snobs,"
              "universities are a nest of reds." The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in
              attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional
              values.
              That's the main artery of the right-wing's Cult of Authenticity: "Thinking is a form of emasculation."

                Fascinating article especially for those who wonder how minority voters can possibly consider voting for Hillary instead of St. Bernie!

                  It really bugs you that someone dare run against your Soulless Fembot and that many of us havent fallen for her charade like you have doesnt it? It is ok to admit it, we all know you cant think clearly as the blood rushes south every time you see a pant suit.

                  You are no better than the conservatives who were fleeced by Dubya...I doubt your ego will ever recognize it though

                    Awwww.....I'm sorry if a crotchety 75 year old man who will get his @ ss fed to him in a general election doesn't get my glands going like it does for you, but the dude just doesn't do it for me. Not that I'm judging you... You may want to consider a Bernie vs Trump general election campaign where Bernie is trying to have a wonky discussion with a man and a compliant news media that doesn't want to listen, thus ending up with a Trump Presidency!

                      I think it's time for a Trump Presidency. It's time this country gets what it deserves. Just entertaining him being President after what they put in there from 2000-2008 proves that no one ever learns.

                        Hey I'm with ya! Too many Libs/Dems fall for that old, stupid "there's no difference between the parties" crap. A Trump Presidency coupled with a GOP Congress, even if only for two years, ought to wake people up. Amazing some still think like this even after the Bush years...

                          Outside of Kep, I have never chided anyone for not liking Bernie. You seem to have your feelings hurt every time someone dares go against the Annointed One. You were the same when some of us supported Obama over Hillary...you just cant stand people thinking for themselves because we are the ones who see how full of crap (and how much like the Faux Crowd) you truly are (you and your Limousine Liberal Overlords)

                          Your girl is going to win, lets hope she doesnt blow it...just dont complain to me when she sells you out.

                            I rarely get my feeling hurt Handy, and never by anybody on this message board. Frankly I've gone easy on Sanders supporters because I don't mind the old dude at all and your passion for the guy is amusing to say the least. At the end of the day, I'm here to educate, even if that means fellow libs. For example, would you rather have me tell you out here that the notion of Bernie Sanders winning over Trump supporters is absurd, or do you want to get laughed out of your next dinner party or family reunion when you blurt this out to an unsuspecting audience? Seems to me its better to learn these lessons on the message board, although you really should be paying me to do so.

                              You think you are educating me? Do the voices in your head tell you to post this tripe or are you actually this arrogant/ignorant?

                              I dont care if Bernie ever wins over the Trump people...those people are nowhere near anything I would support. Of course I wasnt the one who said that Kep was. I wont hold my breathe for you to admit you are wrong I have continually said Bernie wont win, I just wont sell out like the rest of the Dem Sheep. They dont mind their hypocrisy.

                              The funny thing is you actually believe Hillary cares about liberal ideals. Tell me does she do the Monica trick with your cigars?
