Time for GOP panic? Establishment worried

Too late now. Had they not wanted the revolt, they should've been listening for the last 5-10 years.
I can understand Trump's appeal...but I just don't get Carson's...maybe it's because I haven't heard a lot of him but when I do her him speak he puts me to sleep.
He a religious nut. Or at least that is the he wants people to think. Hence, he's the darling of the GOP.
The tea party is the reason the republicans have gained control of congress. Why should anyone be worried about what that part of the party stands for is beyond me. More people vote because of them.
The GOP now has enough nuts to dictate the nominee. But, thankfully, there aren't enough nuts overall to win them the general. I'm not sure when White middle class folks are going to wake up and vote in their own best interests. But if and when they do, the GOP will need a paradigm shift. As to Mitt, it is funny that the wingnuts think the reason Mitt lost was because he wasn't conservative enough. The farther right they go, the bigger the asskicking.
I fully agree. So when they nominate a Cruz and he gets trounced, what is going to be the excuse from the right wing bed-wetters?
No, more Republicans vote for their candidates because of them. I've said before that few if any independent swing voters are going to vote for Trump, Carson, or Cruz. If you want to see how the Tea Party's bull in a china shop approach works, look at how they screwed up the Virginia elections -- the top 3 state posts went to Democrats for the first time in more than 40 years because the Tea Party controlled the GOP nominations.

Yeah, Carson's appeal is beginning to look more puzzling by the day, even if his story remains compelling (which I acknowledge) and he's a great guy (not sure how true that is necessarily).
However, I've said it before and I'll say it again; when the campaign starts reaching the bigger states......and where the candidates' (unlike in Iowa and NH) organizations really start playing hard ball for big numbers of delegates.....that's when I believe Carson will run headlong into the brick wall. And coming off the way he babbled his way through last weekend's West Point stuff.....not to mention the manner in which Trump has redirected his loudmouth focus toward his direction (presumably) full-time.....Carson is beginning to have the look to me of a guy who could get steamrolled.
As the days progress, the more Trump is looking like the far more viable outsider candidate (at least compared with Carson).
No, the reason the dems won was because Soros funded sarvis's independent run, ala Perot. Soros is a marxis and favors how the dems do things. Sarvis or whatever his name is ran in both the senate and governor race and took 5% of the vote. Enough to allow Warner and McCauliff to win.
