I think a lot of people are shocked that the left
wing media seems to be going after Hillary and suggesting other establishment candidates should run
against her. I’m thinking that maybe
they are thinking the RINO strategy worked so well over the past couple of
elections that they want to try it. They
will have a bunch of establishment Democrats run against each other so that the
votes will be split among them and then the more left-wing candidate will win
the nomination. However, I’m sure they
think their strategy will work differently than the RINO strategy in that the
candidate nominated will defeat whoever the Republicans nominate.
I pretty much defined the RINO strategy when I used
to post my theorem on the Politics Forum.
Here is my theorem:
RINO will willingly lose elections if, in
so doing, it prevents Conservatives from winning them.
Hypotheses
1.
Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
different results.
2. RINO are not insane (this one is
debateable). Therefore, there must be a
method to their madness.
3. RINO know that their policies are weak. But they think that their policies are more
acceptable than Democrats’ and Conservatives’ policies.
4. RINO prefer Democrat policies over
Conservative policies.
5. RINO try to make their policies more
acceptable to voters by calling the Conservatives extremists.
6. RINO know from experience that they cannot
win against Democrats. People who want
Democrat policies vote for Democrats and people who want Conservative policies
vote for Conservatives. There aren’t
enough people left to vote for RINO to get them elected.
7. Even though RINO know they cannot win against
Democrats, they will work to get nominations to run against Democrats so that
the Conservatives cannot even compete against the Democrats.
Proofs
1. Even though RINO
John McCain had lost to Democrat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential
election, RINO Mitt Romney ran against Obama in the 2012 presidential
election. Romney was in a series of
Republican debates where he was pitted against several Conservatives. Because he could get the “moderate” vote and
the other votes were split among the Conservatives, he won the Republican
nomination. Romney then went on to lose
the election against Obama.
2. Even though RINO
John McCain lost to Democrat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election and
RINO Mitt Romney lost to Obama in the 2012 presidential election, RINO Jeb Bush
will run against Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential
election. Bush will be in a series of
Republican debates where he will be pitted against several Conservatives. The Republican National Committee is limiting
the number of these debates because of the fear that one Conservative could
over the course of too many debates become the leading candidate. Because Bush will get the “moderate” vote and
the other votes will be split among the Conservatives, Bush will win the
Republican nomination. Bush will then go
on to lose the election against Clinton (ala 1992 Bush vs Clinton).
3. Jeb Bush said on Dec. 1, 2014
“A nominee should lose the primary to win the general”. Of course, being a politician, he says the
opposite of what he thinks. He really
means “A nominee should win
the primary to lose the general.”

ReplyDeleteThey don’t want to take her out. They would be happy to have her be one of the establishment Democrats who runs against the other establishment Democrats so that the votes are split among them and then the more left-wing candidate wins the nomination.
Even Clinton’s biographer wants the more progressive candidate:

A different approach to advocating for Elizabeth:

Dana Milbank, the king of conventional wisdom for the left wing, a little bit late to the party, touts Elizabeth Warren.

And of course, Bloomberg is the most far left, quoting Mao Zedong.

They may be taking this too far. They may lose her as an establishment candidate.

ReplyDelete“Warren and Sanders may appeal to the same constituency but only one could have a legitimate shot at winning the Democratic nomination—and the left knows it.”

ReplyDeleteJeb Bush declared today that he is running for president. On Mark Levin’s program today, Mark said that the way Bush is campaigning, he is trying to increase the vote in Democrat precincts. Sounds like my RINO Theorem.
ReplyDeleteOn Mark Levin’s show today, he mentioned that Mike Murphy leads Jeb Bush’s PAC. Murphy, who has worked on the campaigns of Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney and is the favorite RINO commentator on MSNBC. What a confirmation of the RINO Theorem.
