Jeb Bush a formidable foe for emerging GOP field
The Washington Times ^ | 20 March 2014 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 03/21/2014 5:06:43 AM PDT by COBOL2Java

Jeb Bush is casting a shadow over the entire field of potential Republican presidential candidates, as the former Florida governor continues to ponder a run in 2016 and keep his political options open.

On one hand, the Bush name, a network of donors and his relatively conservative record as governor make Mr. Bush a force to be reckoned with.

But the Bush name also could work against him. Even his mother waffled on whether the country is ready for another member of her family to run for the White House.

From what I gather talking to people in the real world, the main issues that stop many politically moderate, college educated white collar Americans from voting GOP are foreign policy and economic policies that they believe favor the rich over the middle class.

The media and the GOPe would have you believe that if the GOP embraced gay marriage and amnesty for illegals, white collar liberals and moderates would flock to the party.

So the media is trying to sell us Jeb Bush?

When the media sells a GOPe, it's because they know they can make hamburger out of him after he wins the nomination. A set up, just like Lucy and Charlie Brown. The GOPe is *SO* stupid.

I don't see Jeb Bush having any chance at the nomination. His stands on issues look like they were composed by Democrats. Common Core, amnesty etc.

No one with half a brain is going to vote for another Bush, especially a Democrat Bush.

In whose estimation is Jeb Bush formidable? Chuck Todd’s? What a farce!

If you want a good hearty laugh, go to thesaurus.com's entry for "formidable" and read these synonyms off against a picture of him:

they lost the “hold your nose and vote” folks in the last election

There were others? It's good to know I wasn't the only one.

For some reason “Republicans” in FL and TX like that tough look.

You have got to be kidding. Did you see what TX "conservatives" did on March 4?

I don’t think he will get the nomination. I’m not aware of his positions on the issues. One plus I see would be getting a big state like Florida.

Do you really think the GOP is going to let Rand Paul be the nominee?
