If he (Jeb) doesn't enter the race, then Rubio will become a much bigger threat to either Cruz or Walker.

Now that is a very interesting thought to ponder. Conventional wisdom is I don't want Jeb to run at all, but ....

I don’t see Jeb being particularly savvy. Of course his advisors will encourage him raising all the money he can and encourage him to stay in, that he is just where he wants to be! Meanwhile the money will be sucked up by the same advisors that helped Romney lose. George W. Bush is sincere and decisive and though I don’t like the spending that went along with ‘compassionate conservative’ I believe he was a good president especially for the time. Maybe Jeb seems more glib like his mom and that is kind of cute in an older lady but not for a candidate.

Marco is a dangerous candidate, he's everything Jeb isn't. Charismatic, telegenic, well spoken.

If Jeb falters too soon, and doesn't split the "moderate" vote, we may have a problem.

This is really early, and it's hard to see who is laying the proper foundation for a win, but Rubio is the biggest threat conservatives face, IMHO.

I'd love nothing more than a good fight between Cruz and Walker from beginning to end, but it's early positioning that is important, staying strong through the Florida primary. With luck and hard work, it will be decided for a conservative by then.

If nothing else, this is going to be fascinating to watch unfold, giving us a little respite from the bamster's take down of the country.

Amen.

No more Bushes. No more Clintons. No more Kennedys.

No more dynasties. This is America. We don’t need no stinkin’ “royalty.”

...better step up his game

Can't happen. Picture a piss-ant pushing a bolder up a mountain.

Am I the only one in this country who not only doesn't think "Bar" was "cute" but thinks that in fact she was and is kind of weird? I mean, keeping a miscarriage in a jar on the mantle piece and being in favor of abortion too?

Sorry but the Bushes aren't altogether right in the head.

Of the likely R nominee, Jeb is the only one she can beat.

I'm still sticking to the idea that the two scumbags plan on teaming up.
