Top Republican at CPAC: Jeb Bush could emerge as nominee at a brokered convention

After all of the debates and all of the campaigning, for the Convention to nominate someone other than Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich would cause a revolution among grassroots Republicans.

Hmmm...old Freeper sneakypete long ago posted that Jeb was being groomed for the job.

[dalereed]

I wouldn’t vote for him if you put a gun to my head!

[Publius]

This year, as many of us as possible should do that, because at a brokered convention your vote will count for a lot.

You are correct. Delegates should have a second choice in mind if there is no victor on the first ballot. It doesn't necessarily have to be Jeb Bush. A second choice could well be Palin, Giulani or someone else.

[combat_boots]

No.

Jeb let Terri die.

Allen West, ok. But Bush? No effing way.

[hinckley buzzard]

fergit it. No more bushes. Ever.

[2111USMC]

Nope.

Last I remember as a real convention was Goldwater

The big government boys are going to increasingly hit the panic button if they see Willard going down. But if they think they can plug the hole by pushing someone like Jeb Bush they still haven’t figured out the conservative base.

As Newt said, we don’t want to send someone to D.C. to manage the decline. We want someone to radically turn things around. Neither Willard nor Jebbie would do that.

I may or may not vote for Romney if he is the nominee.

I will definately not vote for Bush III.

Obama has already given his seal of approval. I presume that’s what the Bushes were doing in the White House the other day.

Wow. What next? May God defend us!

[wiggen]

Bushes are known for their love of illegals. No way in hell.

[hinckley buzzard]

Someday, a hundred years from now maybe, someone will play the tape of George W Bush whining about how "Islam is a religion of peace." The audience, whoever they may be, will either guffaw in contempt or vomit in disgust.

Keep the goddam Bushes out of Washington. All of them. For-ever

[A Strict Constructionist]

I’m beginning to think that the Bushes are part of a conspiracy to reelect Obama. The Dad would like to give us to China IMHO.

Skip the pipe dreams of another Bush, or Daniels or Romney emerging to head up the field.

If we wanted any of these guys, we'd be chanting their names from the rafters.

The Establishment float various names hoping that they will catch on.

What they simply do NOT understand - this is NOT a top down this time, it's a bottoms UP.

They were all to eager to pronounce the TEA Party dead but it does seem without all of the marches, gatherings and so-called TEA Party "leaders, the themes live on - it's not about YOU DC it's about "We the People" and our rights, our freedoms and our money!!

[RummyChick]

That's what I think.
Obama gets 4 more years and then it is Jeb's turn

Jeb Bush could emerge as nominee at a brokered convention

Maybe it's true what some say - that republicans really do have an unconscious fear of winning.

[DustyMoment]

Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union, has said that Republican turmoil might lead to a brokered convention in which Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, would emerge as a “possible alternative” party nominee.

Nada chance!!! I like Jeb, but the Bush dynasty has run its course and Jeb had his moments in the sun as Fla.'s governor for 2 terms.

If the GOP is so stupid and so desperate that they would nominate EITHER Romney or Jeb Bush, they can go ahead and plan on another Obama term.

[Mr Fuji]

No way! No how!

I’ve noticed more and more of this talk of JB since ORomney has been getting his beat down. It’s absurd because if you can’t run the gauntlet of the primaries, then you don’t deserve the nomination.

[fantail 1952]

Bush? Another Bush? No more steenking bushes! Geez Louise, I want some trees, nice tall, big trees!

The kind they grow in Alaska........
