Harper is hanging on, his behaviour can only be described as bizarre, so maybe he is so deluded he will take the plunge. But if he does I hope he knows how to tread water, or he will go straight down...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-41419049828142001182016-04-28T07:43:52.206-04:002016-04-28T07:43:52.206-04:00hi JD...well they certainly are desperate. When it...hi JD...well they certainly are desperate. When it first dawned on me that Harper could be considering a comeback, I couldn't believe it. But it does make perfect sense. He has an exaggerated sense of his own capabilities, he did recently lecture the Republicans on his to bring warring factions together, and he has always considered the Cons to be HIS party. Like you I doubt that Harper will go for it, not now after the Duffy verdict. But there are dark currents swirling around under the surface, and needless to say I'm hoping for a ship wreck...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-50089972670573615532016-04-28T07:35:05.889-04:002016-04-28T07:35:05.889-04:00hi thwap...you're right it is a stunning indic...hi thwap...you're right it is a stunning indictment of the party's limited talent base.

The only reason would be as you said, to keep the Reform in the Con, which would again lead to more Cons in the pen.<br />I highly doubt Harper will have the guts to go against PMJT and risk another swift kick in the arse, I'm sure it's still hurting from October 19th.<br />If anything, their sorry state of affairs make for great entertainment as they slowly implode into oblivion.<br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-35116436384596378032016-04-27T06:18:18.150-04:002016-04-27T06:18:18.150-04:00I used to say that the harpercons had no obvious c...I used to say that the harpercons had no obvious choices for a leader who could inspire non-ignorant and/or stupid Canadians to vote for their shitty party.<br /><br />But that having been said, the idea that today, the largest single bloc of harpercons' leadership choice is harper, is a staggering indictment of the party's limited talent base.<br /><br />harper is a stupid, cowardly, corrupt mediocrity.
