Yeah your right, savor the moment, it’s very rare we get to agree with leftists, once in a lifetime thing, may never happen again.

I do not think Jeb wants to win. He wants Hillary Clinton to. Why? I cannot say for sure but those upper crust people like Mitt and Jeb like socialism. They just want someone else to get their hands dirty.
To: SeekAndFind
this is so ridiculous.
Regardless of philosophy or what wing of the party he comes from, it is beyond absurd for anyone to suggest running another Bush at this point in time would bring electoral success - even if the prior Bush had left office with glowing popularity.
Many times we don’t like what the establishment does, but it can be understood why they are doing it. This I don’t get - at all - if in fact they are pushing him to run.

Two of these three never became president, but theres no doubt that all three were the best the GOP had to offer in their given years. That chose to run, I guess...
John Thune was apparently "told" not to run in 2012.

Your comments reflect gross ignorance at worst and jumping to bad conclusions at best.
Bush did not invade Iraq to secure the oil supply. I suggest you reread (or perhaps read) the history from the early part of the aughts.

A joke only to those like you who are frankly quite ignorant. Those like you who whine when a politician does not agree with your ideas 100% of the time. Those like you who are immature and pout and will take your ball home and refuse to play because a candidate does bow to your will and pay homage to your ego.
Frankly, I am more than happy to see Obama giving you 0% of what you want versus the 70% of what Romney would have offered.
The absolutists like you are destroying the country as much as Obama is.

Democrats obviously won't vote for Bush (or any GOP candidate), independents pretty much dislike the Bush family, so they won't vote for him, and there will be a fair number of conservatives that won't vote for him either. So no, Bush can't win, so the goal is clearly to ensure that a conservative doesn't get the nomination.
It is getting closer and closer to time for a new party, I'm afraid.

Bush did not give oil to anyone. As I recall one of the selling points of the war was Iraq could repay us, but that was the same lie that was told when we ejected Hussein from Kuwait. They proclaimed we would be repaid for our service, but the only one who paid was our servicemen and their families.
lying traitors the whole lot of them.

If the banksters back him, Jeb wins easily. And since they hated Hillary enough to back Obama over her in 2008, I'd say Jeb will win 2016 in a walk.
Which will do nothing for conservatives, true, but at least we won't have to stare at Hillary on TV any more.

In Jeb’s defense, I am confident that he can come in a close second, just like McCain and Romney.

With Election Day 2016 being 30 months from now, just how meaningful are these numbers that don’t lie?

I’ve been snookered in to voting for Bush’s 4 times for president. Two times as my governor.
No Bush is a true conservative and their compassionate conservatism is a crock,.
I will NEVER again vote for a non-CONSERVATIVE again,
Hey Jeb, go fish pal.

The only reason I am still registered Republican so so I can vote against any GOPe candidates in the Primaries.
Come November, I will vote, but will not vote for any race with a GOPe candidate.

I second Walker and Pence. Neither have made noise I’m aware of that they’re considering a run.
I like Cruz staying put in the Senate, at least for now.
A case could be made for Rick Perry given his success as governor, but he bombed last time around and I’m not sure people will give him a second chance. I think he will run.
