“there is a slow but steady momentum building for Jeb Bush to re-expand the Republican tent toward the center.”
This guy must have missed the VA primary results last night.
Cognitive dissonance abounds.
“Throw the rascals out” seems to be the driving force here. While Eric Cantor has some conservative credentials, he has not persevered in keeping up with the normal repair and rebuilding of fences in his district, and was seen as out of touch in regards to amnesty for illegal immigrants. Perhaps Rep. Cantor has a rather different idea as to how the influx of illegals clamoring for citizenship rights was to be handled, but he never articulated this plan to the voters back home.
It would be one thing, if the Republicans were to remake the party into more center than center-right, but so long as the Democrats lurch ever further left, with no change of course. It makes no political or moral sense to seem to be following them over to their side of the abyss.
In order to drive out the rascals, you have to be supporting somebody whom you do not perceive as a rascal.
Possible running mates include Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Lindsay Graham,...
My point also.
Jeb Bush is the plan. “We”, on the other hand, will divide ourselves between the usual five or six splinter path candidates made available to us. The Establishment must be licking their chops.
Without some kind of Tea Party convention machine to unify around one candidate, we cheerfully repeat our appearance of the frantic Keystone Cops.
No, they (team Bus) read the tea leafs exactly correct, see my 55.
