Find the candidate you think the least offensive, allow him to run as Democrat-lite, and then advise him to play nice while the opposition drops hydrogen bombs on him.

Wash, rinse, and repeat. It is the only thing they believe can work.

This is the same crew that thought George Herbert Walker Bush was a better candidate than Reagan in 1980 for many of the same reasons they believe Kasich is the superior candidate now.

Ever since 1988, the Governing Wing has worked to prevent conservatives from gaining the nomination. They've chosen to steer this party to the political equivalent of 70s-era Yacht Rock: no substance, no character, and no meaning beyond the mere retention of power. Better to give the left everything it wants than to actually stand for what you promised in an election. Better to lose an election with a spineless moderate than win one with an actual conservative.

Hillary Clinton is not their enemy. That honor belongs to conservatives. Let David Brooks explain their stance on the likes of Ted Cruz and the rest of us neanderthals from the 1980s:

David Brooks: Far better choices than Ted Cruz - Times Union

If the GOP is going to survive as a decent and viable national party, it can't cling to the fading orthodoxy Cruz represents. But it can't shift to ugly Trumpian nationalism, either. It has to find a third alternative: limited but energetic use of government to expand mobility and widen openness and opportunity. That is what Kasich, Rubio, Paul Ryan and others are stumbling toward.

The Bush/Rockefeller wing of the GOP has never stopped believing in government interference in the economy. It has never ceased advocating increased regulatory power. It has never evolved; it remains stuck in 1970s statism.

To the McConnells, the Boehners, the Bushes, and the Romneys, the only way forward is to become liberal.

This is why we got McCain and Romney and this is why they want Kasich now. They wish to become merely another Democratic Party.

She as much as said it in the last debate. She also said that she has been picked apart for 25 years, and there is nothing he could do to her that hasn't been done already.

It's pretty clear that she improperly handled classified information even if it was sent to her with the classification codes removed. By her very position and supposed "experience" she would have known the information should have been secure and made it that way. But, yes, you are right, the Obama administration will do nothing, and the Republicans are too cowardly to pursue the issue. She is most certainly unfit to be Commander in Chief; any one (below flag rank) in the military who handled classified material so cavalierly would have been locked up awaiting court-martial.

Speaking of age. Hillary has to take naps, and according to her staff, she gets confused from time to time. Think about the things she has said recently.

Trump is a high energy dude for sure. I can only hope I have his energy when I become his age.

She sounds pretty hoarse... and looks like one too when she's yelling.

I go to one close VOLS game and I can't even squeak out a noise.

I can't believe any of these candidates have voices anymore.

I'm getting the same feeling watching Cruz and Trump going head to head in Missouri that I do when Alabama plays Florida.
