re: #122 Charles Johnson

I still think the Republican nominee is going to end up being Jeb Bush, by the way. The Trump drama is going to fade away. It’s Jeb’s turn, and the GOP will make sure that happens.

I think an establishment-forced Jeb nomination would break the GOP in two. The base is still upset about McCain and Romney. Anyway, the #2 from 2012 was Santorum, not Jeb.

If the wingnuts can manage to coalesce around someone acceptable to the GOP establishment (e.g., Walker, Rubio, Cruz?) then I would expect the establishment to join in to preserve party unity for a little while longer.
