wash yer keyboard out...

do you EMail your Mom with that keyboard ???

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

WTF? Is this from The Onion? ‘Cause this makes no stinkin’ sense. I bet even Jeb Bush is tired of Jeb Bush.

[A CA Guy]

Another Bush would get another Democrat elected.

[cpdiii]

"NO NO NO HELL NO"

[RginTN]

“If Jeb Bush is in the race, he clears the field,” said one major Romney donor

and loses.

[Forgotten Amendments]

I’m going to legally change my name to “Bob Dole Jr.” and become the frontrunner. Or, just keep the $$$ that will roll in.

[Timber Rattler]

The "most electable," eh?

Now where have I heard that before?

[Gaffer]

Well, at some point when a horse comes up lame, really lame
and untreatable, you just have to shoot it.

At this point now with Boehner, McConnell, Graham, McInsane et al, OF COURSE!

[Timber Rattler]

No more Bushes. Period.

[dforest]

All you have to do is listen to a show like Cavuto to see what the Establishment GOP wants. People like Gasperino and some of the big money guests never mention anyone but Jeb and Christie.

As far as all of them are concerned, there are no other choices.

[ModelBreaker]

“the Republicans can go down like William Howard Taft in 1912.”

That’s not an especially attractive image.

[Zhang Fei]

America will become the laughingstock of the world if the voters make it a Bush vs. Clinton presidential election, in 2016.

We were the laughingstock of the world after we elected Reagan. Two terms later, they weren't laughing any more.

[Diogenesis]

Mitt Romney, the polygamous, gaymarriage-imposing
tyrant, and RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE-imposing carpetbagger
will decide for the GOP?

THE GOP remains as evil as the DNC.

[Soul of the South]

“Every single Romney donor we spoke with this week listed the former Florida governor as their top choice…”

Then every single Romney donor they spoke to wants the Republican Party to lose in 2016.

[9YearLurker]

Bush is massively pro-amnesty.

And an idiotic opportunist on education.

Who found a way to implement race quotas without calling them quotas.

No thanks.

[9YearLurker]

I don’t think you have a very good take on most Americans if you think they’d elect Jeb over Hill.

[JRandomFreeper]

I won't vote for your liberal republicans. Ever.

I swear the Republican Party has been infiltrated by leftists intent to destroy the party from within.(Just like what is going on in Washington). Jeb Bush has no chance in hell of winning in 2016. I will not vote for him. If a dem wins, so be it-they will be responsible for the downfall of America.

I don't think that's it. I think the GOPe are desperately looking for a security blanket and by the criteria Jeb Bush fits the bill pretty well.

He has a pretty solid resume, and is the most Conservative of the family (and Dub'ya was significantly more Conservative than his Dad was). He did a really good job in his terms as FL Governor, especially when it came to the crisis management that sunk his brother (I was in FL for Hurricane Jeanne, the 3rd of 5 hurricanes that hit the state that year)

The sad truth is that if his last name was something other than "Bush" he'd be a top-tier candidate and probably on a par with Scott Walker (but without the contrived "scandals" the Left is starting to go after Walker on, or at least a better ability to fight them off).

But his last name IS "Bush" and that really matters. He may look good in a lot of areas (fundraising capacity, executive experience, accomplishments, track-record of leadership), but the bad taste that's still in the public's mouth over his brother is a real albatross around his neck. He really needs to stay out of 2016 ...

[Dead Corpse]

No.

Form a RINO party and let him run on their ticket...
