http://race42016.com/2015/08/25/rumor-mill-the-three-faction-gop-battle/Just a blog post from an observer like us.
"As of now, we have Bush vs. Christie/Fiorina/Walker/Graham/Kasich/Rubio vs. Trump/Cruz/(possibly Carson). The old, versus the new, versus the outsiders. Watch as alliances are strengthened, tested, expanded, and leveraged in the weeks and months to come. Once we understand the race from this perspective, it helps explain candidate behavior and actions, and gives insight into the headlines of the campaign. It also helps us ask the correct questions in order to better understand the race – and shows why all the “Romney is thinking about jumping in again!” rumors are nonsense. Romney and his team (Fehrnstrom, Zwick, Weber, Gage, et al) are busy not coordinating a third Romney run, but helping the team of six and developing a strategy to ensure one of the other two factions does not end up on top when this race is over."
