No, that was Ann Coulter last time.

This message was brought to you by Laura Ingraham, professional loser.

And another thing. How are they gonna pander to the angry white base and still peel off Hispanics and blacks,especially Hispanics?

“Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham has a warning for Republicans: if
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush gets the 2016 Republican nomination for
president, he will lose.”

Works for me.

Laura Ingraham: If (Insert Any Lunatic’s Name Here) Is 2016 GOP Nominee, He’ll Lose

There. Fixed that for you.

There have been quite a few comments along these lines … who will most certainly lose the race for the Republicans … I’m still waiting for anyone of those same people to actually say whom they think might be a winner. I’m assuming their silence might be because they don’t have any candidates of that ilk. Of course the uber-partisan will say such things, as will the candidates, but somehow the people that actually think about what they say, no matter how much of a minority they be, don’t seem to have any names to offer up. Scott Walker and Christie were two of the early flash in the pans, and those don’t seem to have panned out so well. Who is left? Jindal? (oh, but I do crack myself up.)

You got intervened.

enon · March 19, 2015, 10:23pm

man, she really does not like him. i wonder what is the origin of their dispute… because she goes out of her way to slam him.

barblzz · March 19, 2015, 10:33pm

Let’s help Bush get the nomination so Laura can be correct on SOMETHING!

pdxspurs · March 19, 2015, 10:35pm

all these blonde white women look alike to me

darcy · March 19, 2015, 10:36pm

Thanks again! Great, intervention! When I need an exorcism. Or a Cleansing Party.

Another template headline: If _______ is 2016 GOP Nominee, He’ll Lose

A populist movement is always popular. But once the word gets out that 95% of the post-recession economic growth has been captured by the 1%, a populist movement is likely to look very much like the French Revolution.

The one I would worry most about is Kasich.

avattoir · March 19, 2015, 10:39pm

Oh, I think she’s ‘considered’ that, alright. She may have someone in mind to promote, but if so, then for ‘the fuuuuuuuttttttuuuuurrrrrreee’. I don’t think there’s any percentage in her actively promoting anyone in this cycle who actually stands a decent chance of gaming the RNC nomination. Watch her claim to stick to “policy issues” and “populist messaging”, all of which necessarily excludes Jebya.

And while it ain’t quite so necessarily with Kochie Walker. Inghram’s not anything like that baked-beans-for- brains Jennifer Rubin at Bezos’ rag; she’s been around long enough to know it’s prudent to allow a new winger heartthrob to the national arena time to trip over his own unregulated dick before pledging eternal troth.

Checking over the short list of Grumpy Old Party Clowns, I simply have to ask:
Does the GOP have anyone that won’t end up another “Willard” class candidate?
I think the short answer is:No.
I think the long answer is:Heck no.

meri · March 19, 2015, 11:07pm

Note: Comment to be retroactively memory holed the moment Jeb get the nomination.

ryokyo · March 19, 2015, 11:24pm

VP Fodder maybe. But who heads the ticket that can win?

joelopines · March 19, 2015, 11:25pm

There’s a difference?

jimtoday · March 19, 2015, 11:38pm

Why can’t a pretty girl like Laura find a man, and have kids? Somebody tell her that Aaron Schock is available!

hippocritic · March 19, 2015, 11:43pm

Snookums, Jeb Bush may lose. But any other Republican loses BIG.
