Jeb Bush: The GOP Candidate Democrats Want
Breitbart ^ | June 7, 2015 | Dan Riehl

Posted on 06/07/2015 4:45:55 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

You wouldn’t know that the fawning New York Magazine piece on Jeb Bush was written by someone who “agrees with exactly nothing the governor says,” if they didn’t tell you. Clearly, Jeb is the choice of liberal Democrats. Perhaps they inherently sense that Hillary Clinton would make short work of him in a general election.

Jennifer Senior writes for New York Magazine:

Anyone who’s familiar with Jeb, though, doesn’t seem nearly as fixated on this episode as members of the national press corps. They know that freestyling is his natural political mode. As governor, Jeb genuinely enjoyed mixing it up with local reporters, almost always fielding more queries than his staff would have liked. “He’d do a five-minute gaggle” — mediaspeak for a mini press conference — “and you’d get five stories,” says Adam C. Smith, the political editor of the Tampa Bay Times. “He’d think out loud, he liked to banter. Compared to Charlie Crist, who never said anything, he was fun to cover.” But now, it seems, the very qualities that served Jeb well with the Florida press — spontaneity, authenticity — are serving him poorly on the national stage. Which is a shame, in its way: One of the pleasures of being around him, day to day, on the stump, is his enthusiasm for speaking off the cuff. (And I report this, it should be noted, as a person who agrees with exactly nothing the governor says.)

No, no, no, they fear him! They want Ted Cruz.

Dems hope for Cruz, fear Bush

Jeb V Hillary.

It’s like the Uniparty not only knows it is going to win, it’s adding the insult to both left and right by having the two most loathsome candidates either psuedoparty can produce run against each other.

Now Cruz V Saunders would at least be about *ISSUES*, and no real American minds a discussion on the Issues. Neither is a telegenic or slick but both of them actually understand what they are saying and believe in it, which would be as refreshing for a lot of people on the left as on the right.

Of course the RATs want Bush.

Bush would follow the same path as McCain and Romney.
Losers all!

Why wouldn’t they want Jeb. He is the worst candidate in the entire list of declared and undeclared.

I wish Jeb would listen to his mother. You can bet Hillary does not want Cruz, she couldn’t answer any of his questions without a staff of 100 researchers looking for answers for her.

Beware the Jebbian cockroaches. They scurry around underfoot until someone mentions Ted Cruz then they show themselves to ask a completely reasonable question. The problem is that they don’t care about the answer because they only seek the opportunity to post a prepared tirade about how bad Ted Cruz is.

Jebbian Cockroaches, they don’t have the courage to post a new thread about how much they hate Cruz so they hide in the shadows waiting for a chance to nibble at the foundations.

He’s not just the Republican that Democrats want, he IS a Democrat in an R jersey.

We must stop the RNC from designating another loser.

I wish Jeb would listen to his mother.

His mom recently changed her mind and is now 100% behind Jeb running.

PIAPS: the candidate that the gop wing of the uniparty wants.

Ergo, it will be a match between the worst that each wing of the uniparty can vomit up. I give the chances of a PIAPS-Bush matchup at about 80%.

Just remember: your vote counts! Even if the evidence of your eyes and every shred of common sense you can muster says the exact opposite.

I havve thought of bush from the beginning of his interest as the DNC’s candidate for the Republican Nomination. I believe that to be actual.

Each President Bush has resulted in a two-term Democrat President immediately following....think about it.
