I’d write in Putin before I voted for Warren.

Jeb Bush doesn’t have anything to offer that the other Bushes didn’t offer. From Jeb we can expect big immigration reform, more illegals and more amnesty. That is what we know for certain. With that we will get more welfarism, more public housing, more federal control of schools and education, more gun control, more taxes, more wars, bigger government with more debt. Oh joy!

If we can’t have Ted Cruz, can we please get someone who places the interests of America and American citizens first.

Jeb running will suck all the Texas money away from Perry, dooming his candidacy.

Jeb BUSH running would completely negate Hillary's biggest negative... HER NAME!!

The American people dont want these political dynasties, but if you pit TWO of them against each other... they will pick the better of the past two records, and the fact is... Clinton had a more successful presidency than either Bush.

Absolutely, the media will fawn over Jeb Bush just like they did for McCain and Romney. That is until he wins the nomination. Until then, I expect a series of glowing articles likely from the New York Times. It appears team Bush is using the NY Times as their media leak.

> . Cruz has just as much experience as Barack Obama did two years before the election.

Hunh? Obama’s resume was faaaaaaar thinner than Cruz’s at that point.

It was 39% in contested races. There were a bunch of primaries which occurred after the nomination was wrapped up which got Romney’s official number up to 52%.

Like it or not, Jeb Bush is going to be the R candidate, because that is who the MONEY PEOPLE want to run. Frankly, there is no one else with the high profile required. It sucks, but that is how it is, folks.

Good observation. I agree as long as it is him they want. It definitely will be what the elites want - not us sheeple.

People still have to vote for him. The D’s have the same problem trying to push that drunk, murderous dyke across the finish line on the other side of the aisle.

Wow. The founders would be loading rifles right now.

By 2016 Cruz will have been in the Senate for four years, same as Obama. He was Solicitor General in Texas for five years. My point is that he has no experience managing an executive branch of government. Management experience is crucial for modern Presidents. Especially if we want to reverse what Obama has done. It will take more than right opinions, it will take management skills. Why risk it on someone who has no experience? Let’s learn from the Democrats mistake.

I’m not sure how much of a fantasy that is. The movement of young black males towards the GOP is well documented. There have been a number of articles posted recently about how the Dems increasingly have a white voter problem.

So the trending is there. Also with the general youth vote starting to pull away from Dems (Obama dropped something like 8 points there between 2008 and 2012). The questions are whether it’s happenening with enough speed and depth to offset the increases in other areas that the Dems are benefitting from.

"It appears team Bush is using the NY Times as their media leak."

I think there is no love lost between NYT & the Bush clan. If you want to know who's feeding the NYT stories to promote Jeb, look no further than Chappaqua, NY - home of Billary.

If that means you are going to vote for Hillary, then you are shooting yourself and all Americans in the Butt ! Any lousy pro-amnesty, anti-Tea-Party RINO is head and shoulders a better option than any Democrat nominee! We are living with the consequences of Republicans who weren’t happy with the R nominee as not being “pure” enough and look what we have wrought!
Put your big-boy pants on, hold your nose, pull the R lever and live to fight for conservative values with a flawed R in the White House rather than allow another socialist / communist to use the 1600 stationary.

Fine for you.

Like I said, if Bush is the nominee, I’ll vote for his opponent.

Stuff the GOP.

Unfortunately there's always the specter of someone, like the unemployed Santorum, willing to play stalking horse as long as needed for the benefit of the GOPe.

And don't forget all the open primaries out there where the GOPe and MSM and all the not so right of center Independents and Democrats get to select our primary candidates.

Our system sucks, we need a third party.

Another “moderate” is going to lose just like the Dole, McCain and Romney before them

Nope, sorry.

I would simply be voting for the lesser of two evils, and tried and true republican excuse.

What a shame the GOP has now defined itself as the greater of two evils.

Jeb Bush is corrupt.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/12/it_sure_looks_like_jeb_bush_isnt_running_for_president.html

Offshore accounts with at least $127 million with Chinese money and others. No one raises this kind of money in 2 years. Their hoping he wins and they own a president just like Soros and his friends do with obama.
