Florida went for Obama twice, but has been massively Republican otherwise in the past decade. As I’ve said before, the pros of a Jeb candidacy is a very short list, but locking up FL would be one distinct benefit. That said, I think it can be won by other good candidates. It was a slim 10,000 vote loss in 2012.

The New Yawk Slimes works for the enemies of the Republic, the banking oligarchs who want to herd the sheeple. NEVER trust anything coming from the New Yawk Slimes.

What was that whole deal about not having aristocracies in this nation?

No more Bush’s for awhile. I like the family and GWB. But I don’t want to see us make a mistake on Jeb.

Let me get this straight-—Bush would attract Latinos, but someone with a name like Cruz or Rubio would turn them off?

If Hillary and Bush are their respective party nominees, then you can expect that voter turnout in 2016 will be one of the lowest in Presidential history.

Or there will be the biggest third party movement ever, or at least since Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose effort in 1912. Maybe, that would even be a good thing. With the anti-traditional American values vote split between Jeb & Hillary, it is just possible that an American who is not ashamed of his way of life, might be able to win.

I will certainly agree with those who vow never to vote for Jeb Bush. His loyalty to his foreign born wife is admirable. His citing his personal relationship as a reason for an anti-American immigration policy, is abominable. His failure to understand the distinction is contemptible.

TED CRUZ for President in 2016! Let’s put the GOP on the defensive and just come out with OUR candidate FIRST!

Speak for yourself. I don’t want a first-term Senator(he hasn’t even been a Senator 2 years for God’s sake) running against Hillary Clinton for sure. I want a Governor who has executive experience and has been through the ringer and that person is Governor Walker. He is our biggest hope for the future.

Sarah, Ted, Rand in that order. If we get a RHINO I will not vote!

Out of your three, I would only vote for Sarah. The others are too inexperienced....first term Senators...hasn’t the United States made that error already with the current President? Governor Walker is the choice!!!!!

Nancy Pelosi has it right when she says passing immigration reform is more important then winning back the senate this year.

If she said that then she is dumber than I thought, even if it were passed this afternoon, they would not instantly become American Citizens and vote in November.

hillary/Jeb should run as a ticket, to assure their victory. Then maybe someone could actually come along and run against the puppet masters.

Understandably so since it would be two members of the same family running against each other..................after all, George and Barbara claim Bill as their "son" which means Jeb would be running against his "sister-in-law".

I wonder what the response would be if Hillary is addressed as Jeb's sister-in-law and Jeb as Hillary's brother-in-law in some public venue...........?

I might add Barbara Bush agrees too since she considers Bill Clinton her son.

Yes, we need him to run, along with several other RINO’s to split the establishment vote rather than the conservative vote as happened in ‘08 and ‘12. We can’t afford another bad candidate.

this is why the GOP elites are pushing a no way to win candidate.

THEY WANT HILLARY. Even the elite GOP want Hillary.

She would cut a deal to give the house and senate to the GOP since she would control the government bureaucracy.
