Your Predictions: By Which Primary Will Jeb Bush Finally Bow Out And Throw Support To Ted Cruz?

Posted on 03/29/2015 12:21:57 PM PDT by Cruz_West_Paul2016

And unless there are any changes, this is the order. Iowa, New Hampshire,Colorado,Minnesota,New York,Utah.Then from Feb.6 thru Feb.23,we have Nevada,South Carolina,North Carolina and Michigan on the 23rd. Obviously the odds of Bush even winding up in the top three are about the same as the odds of Joe Biden taking the Democrat Nomination in 2016. The far left media will probably keep Bush in the top three with their "Left Leaning Polls". Should be interesting to watch their reactions when Jeb wont even make the top four in Iowa.

You can’t predict what the GOPe will do so it’s impossible to predict when they’ll admit defeat.

Prediction (not wish): The nominee will be Bush, Rubio or Walker.

My absolute last choice in the primaries has been the nominee since '96, so I suspect Bush will get it. My first choice has always been one with the most knives in his back. I suspect you're correct.

Bush will make it up to the end of the primary...Just like Romney and McCain did and the Bush before them...

The test will be how well Ted makes out against the gaggle of other primary contenders...He’ll certainly get my vote...

Third party route is no longer really possible, certainly not in all states, when one drops out in the primaries. John B. Anderson was able to do this in 1980, but it is no longer likely at all.

I think Jebbie is much stronger than most on our forum think. Uninformed Republican primary voters recognize him, and that matters.

Jeb is going to be the GOP(E) nominee.

I predicted this long before the candidates began lining up, because I knew Hillary would finally be running, and Jeb is one of the very few who could lose to her.

I knew my prediction was correct when we started hearing from the lamestream news media about how Jeb was so smarty smart smart brilliant smart.

They announced who they wanted to run against Hillary, and the spineless jellyfish that make up the donor wing of the GOP have picked up the signal flawlessly.

When the primaries begin, the only thing we’ll hear is how wonderfully “electable” Jeb is and how the rest of the field is either too weak and/or consists of “whacko-birds” (or whatever other term they happen to come up with to describe real conservatives with vertebrae).

South Carolina will probably buck the trend like they did with Mittens, but it won’t mean a damnable thing. Jeb is a loser and therefore must run against the Cankled Mao-Suited Empress.

Cruz, as much as I want him and Walker in charge, are going to be thrown out on their ears.

Those are all fine accomplishments. Unfortunately, they are likely to be of little value in a presidential campaign -- let alone in the White House itself.

Let's be honest, folks ... if the Democrats had come up with a presidential candidate from the U.S. Senate whose biggest accomplishments were "challenging his party's leadership" and "moving the debate," they'd have a guy who sounds an awful lot like Joe Lieberman -- a complete loser.

I think Cruz would be a great president (unlike Lieberman). The important thing, though, is whether he can convince 70+ million voters that he'd be a great president. He's probably going to need much more than "moving the debate" to climb that hill.

Moving the debate is how candidates win

But that brings us to the larger question of whether we who actually take the Constitution and its limitations on federal power seriously can ever hope to win a national election again.

The Democrats are a coalition of minorities who want to use Fed Gov to tax the hated white, Christian and heterosexual male (at least those among them who are, like me, just pleased as punch to be all of those things) and to transfer those tax dollars to themselves. We all know that. We need to start saying that.

Mitt Romney was right about the 47%. He might not have identified the members of the Democratic Extortion Coalition with complete accuracy, but generally speaking his observation that the Rats have an absolute lock on a little under 50% of the national vote is spot-on.

Now with illegal immigration proceeding unchecked with Obama it seems clear that the Rats will achieve - may have achieved already - an absolute national majority that will vote for them no matter what horrors they commit so long as they can count on the Rats to keep the hated white, Christian and heterosexual male paying their way.

Which brings us (with apologies to T. S. Elliot) to an "overwhelming question" - are conservatives no locked out of the Presidency, even as they've consolidated local power?

I hate to say it, but I fear the answer is yes. And I hope I'm wrong, but I gotta say that if 51% of the population is willing to re-elect Obama after four disastrous years that we're pretty much S.O.L. on the national level.

If that proves to be true, then we will be faced with a terrible choice that most people don't want to look at. As Elliot wrote "Oh, do not ask what is it/Let us go and make our visit."

I personally have absolutely no problem at all asking the question. When I do, I come up with an answer that starts "When, in the course of human events . . . "
