Re: Jeb’s flop at CPAC. The booing was an unexpected bonus. What a relief.
Ole Jeb is not going to get my vote ... sorry Jeb!
I would modify one se fence there “he was merely at the right place at the right time. *with the right last name* “ I mean who thinks Hillary would be anything more than an angry, second rate professor somewhere if her last name wasn’t Clinton? Jeb would be lucky to be a middle manager at a Wal-Mart store if his father, grandfather and brother weren’t high elected officials.
Reagan made a serious error when he ignored the advice of his wife who recommended Paul Laxalt be VP. Laxalt would have been far more effective working with the legislature.
It’s funny, because if Jeb would have won his race in 1994 against Chiles, he would have likely ran for President in 2000. I’ve always thought at first that Jeb was the more conservative, politically-astute of the brothers.
I wish that were true, but who does anyone think the big three leftist states of California, New York and Illinois will vote for in the Republican primaries? Blue states also participate.
The GOPe is counting on the same vote splitting among numerous more conservative candidates that allowed Dole, McCain and Romney to win in prior years, And we all know that's why Jebbie acted so soon to squeeze Romney out of the big donor money, and out of any major vote splitting among the Rinos.
Conservatives better decide on a candidate very soon in the primary season.
