STRANGE BEDFELLOWS …
S.C. governor Nikki Haley has some serious bad blood with the Palmetto State consultants running the presidential campaign of Marco Rubio – the latest crown prince of the “Republican” establishment.
But will that bad blood stop her from endorsing Rubio’s presidential campaign come 2016?
No …
In fact Haley’s longtime political advisor – Jon Lerner – co-authored a memo last week with Warren Tompkins, one of South Carolina-based “Republican” operatives running the political action committee that’s supporting the diminutive U.S. Senator from Florida.
“When you consider all angles, as we do, we believe there are really only four candidates with a reasonable chance of becoming the Republican nominee: Senator Marco Rubio, Dr. Ben Carson, Donald Trump, and Senator Ted Cruz,” Lerner and Tompkins opined in the memo (.pdf here). “And when you look on to the general election against Hillary Clinton, we are convinced that Marco gives the GOP its best chance to win. The Clinton Machine itself openly acknowledges that Marco is the candidate they most fear.”
The language (and the conclusions) contained in the memo are irrelevant to us …
The names appearing on it, however, are significant.
Haley has been on the leading edge of the GOP establishment’s attacks against Donald Trump. But to what end?
She’d reportedly been hoping to endorse the presidential bid of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker – but his campaign imploded. Meanwhile the establishment’s top choice – former Florida governor Jeb Bush – also appears to be dead in the water.
And Haley hasn’t done Bush’s campaign any favors during his Palmetto State visit.
That leaves her with Rubio …

“diminutive”…fits, FITS to *T*.
You only like your men really hung, huh? That’s a good submissive bottom, most of you little southern boys are…
See you at the gloryhole (or not, actually).
Trolls are diminutive also.
like a STD virus?
Just using one of FITS words, that’s all.
“Trolls are diminutive also”
At least you’re a self aware little bottom bitch.
I love you down low southern conservative types…
You keep it dirty, girl.
You are so diminutive, I’m not a southerner.
If Rubio somehow got out of the way of the Trump express(or Trump’s train simpy ran off the rails), he would be eviscerated by Hilliary, assuming she doesn’t eventually get prosecuted for the email thing.
It wouldn’t even be close. The GOP better hope that Rubio doesn’t somehow double his current polling, which is unlikely anyway.
The GOP establishment is desperate for anyone BUT Trump- but they don’t realize(yet) that Trump probably gives the their best chance to win. (and I’m not endorsing Trump, just sayin’)
Are things so retarded in the South that people really think Trump has ANY chance of winning? Thank god the rest of the country is here to keep you moronic goobers in check!!!
Your nominee is Hillary…Hahahahahahaha…and you’re attacking the South’s intelligence…how fucking stupid are you?
other than your demographic ” angry old uneducated white male” what demographic are the republicans winning in?
You better hope there is a spike in the number of muliti-voters (there won’t be) pedophiles, drunks, man-haters, drug addicts and homosexual radicals…because the GOP is successfully blocking all the illegal criminals entering illegally (not gays) from voting…
Well they didn’t vote last time (illegal criminals) – so that should boost you what, 1 or 2 votes – ha!!!! Looooza!!!!! Huge Looooza!!!!
Ready to lose again?
About time for another landslide victory!
At least you don’t support anyone or vote.
Like you and Obama predicted in 2014…and he said you still won, because all of his voters stayed home…but if they would have voted, the Democrats would not have gotten your asses waxed…LMAO…
You can’t make this crap up.Hahahaha…
Rick Perry buddy! That was your prediction. HAHAHA
I think Big T called that one PRECISELY right. He told you Gov. Perry picked the wrong consultant. Didn’t He? He NAILED it…
Top ten reasons it sucks to be you:
1) George Bush
2) USC football woes
3) Clemson football prowess
4) Failed blog
5) Obama
6) Gay marriage
7) Fitsnews whipping boy
8) Tea party disintegration
9) The impending legalization of drugs
10) Your life is tantamount to posting here
You know your party well.
I Don’t Know How To Love You
They must be winning somewhere. Republicans dominate the Senate, HR, governorships and state legislatures. Are you sober?
of course, that is an apples to oranges argument, the comparison to local elections is not analogous to national elections
BT is a Nazi!
I know a lot about Nazis.
Hey man, it’s easy once Parker gets you your subpeana, he actually will drive up to Lexington to do the deposition. Lasts like two hours or so.
he is easy to find too, look for the trailer with the biggest confederate flag and the gas log cross burning in the front yard.
I’m sure they’re serving him this week.
Any idea which clown will emerge ?
Bernie???…LMAO…
So he’s a republican ?
“Thank god the rest of the country is here to keep you moronic goobers in check!!!”
I’ve read that the American People read on average around 7th to 8th grade level in terms of comprehension. I think you’ve got some work to do.
“(and I’m not endorsing Trump, I’m just sayin’)”
They hate Carson and Cruz, too.
Democrats fear Rubio most…That’s BULLSHIT.
Now that Jeb has crashed and burned…FITSNews is trying to push his next-best hope to get a more Liberal-Tarian – Liberal the nomination…That way Hillary has an easier shot…
You got McCain (who you still hate Tompkins for destroying in 2000) –and you got Romney…You FAILED..now sit down and STFU…we did it your way…and we’re not going down that road again…
He, my deposition went really well. Did you get scheduled for yours yet? Wanna compare notes?
When they gave me your deposition to read I was shocked. They spelled your name “Rockie” — no respect for you from those guys.
Can’t wait to read Tango’s. See how many time he says crap, poop and LMAO.
He still says “poop” .. !! (Haw)
Rubio better hope Haley doesn’t endorse him, she is the kiss of death. Romney in the 2012 SC primary, then Walker this year.
?
Wait, yesterday I thought Haley was blowing Bush the kiss of death endorsement.
She might have been “blowing” Bush, but I doubt it was the endorsement kind
Here’s my guess as to who Haley endorses:
Take the last credible poll around a month before the primary for SC, find the 2nd place spot(I’m assuming Trump remains in first), and that’s who gets her kiss of death.
The only thing that changes that is if someone surprises and polls well in SC after having won either Iowa or New Hampshire.
The way I see it, she goes establishment and wants to be associated with a “winner”- and that’s her best shot in doing both. I can’t ever see her endorsing Trump even if it looks like he’s got a lock on SC.
First off, a blind squirrel with a minimal knowledge of primary politics could easily opine that Trump, Carson, Cruz and Rubio will emerge as the four still in contention after New Hampshire. Someone start the slow clap for these overpaid, bloviating, influence peddlers.
Yeah, watch the squirrel comments.
Overheard in Five Points:
——————————-
I’m 52 years old, but I feel as agile and lively as a squirrel today.
A very old squirrel.
Blind, bald and deaf.
With arthritis, Alzheimer’s and cancer.
Lying at the side of the road.
Squashed to shit.
Five days ago.
on a happier note:
———————-
Little Johnny came into the bathroom while his mother was taking a shower. He asked,
“Mom, what’s that between your legs?”
She told him that was her squirrel.
Later that day he was in the bathroom again while Granny was taking a shower and he asked, “Granny, what’s that between your legs?”
She replied, “That’s my squirrel.”
Then little Johnny said, “Mommy has one too, but hers is not as gray as yours.”
Grandma replied, “That’s because your Mom’s squirrel hasn’t cracked as many nuts as mine has!”
on a much happier note:
———————————
A town was so overrun with squirrels that the
Mayor called an emergency meeting. He asked the emergency services, local businesses and religious groups to come up with a solution to rid the town of the pesky little varmints once and for all.
The fire service smoked out and trapped every
squirrel and let them go ten miles outside town. Within a week they were all back and had brought even more they had befriended on the way.
A local tree surgeon cut down every tree in
the town to take away the squirrels habitat and breeding grounds. The resourceful little guys ate the wood, moved into the townsfolk’s attics and
multiplied tenfold out of spite.
The wily local vicar laid a trail of hazelnuts
through the town to the church. The squirrels followed and were soon locked inside. The vicar quickly baptized them all entered them on the
parish register and from that day forward they were only ever seen at Easter and Christmas Day!
