This “poll” only shows that there is no frontrunner.

At this point it is a name recognition poll.....period!

However if we end up with ONE RINO versus severl conservatives remaining in the race after South Carolina, the RINO wins again, just like 2012 when Newt & Ricky stayed in till the bitter end, clearing the path for the Mittster.

They sure are starting the BS early this cycle. Media can pick the candidates and if people are stupid enough to follow, they are going to lose again. I’m finished with it. If they run another Romney-alike or fake conservative, I flat-out will not vote again. I’ve being doing the hold your nose thing for too long, I’m finished with it. The Republicans seem bent on self-destruction. We told them what we wanted just a few weeks ago and what did they give us? ... they gave us McConnel. This is coming to a head and if they don’t turn it around, they are going to be competing with libertarian candidates in another decade.

That poll is so inane, it even gives Bill O'Reilly a headache...

I will not pull the lever for Jeb Bush, nor Mitt Romney.

You GOPe operatives monitoring Free Republic need to take note.

Isn`t that some South American tree bark that when processed makes LSD look like aspirin? I saw a nat-geo program once on the jaguar shaman of the Amazon, they trip on that stuff and see animal spirit guide jaguars.

If Jeb Bush runs, I will either vote 3rd party or I will not vote. Why vote for a pro amnesty, liberal Republican?

The GOP didn’t unit around Ronald Reagan until Obama was elected. Prior to that even I remember Republicans talking smack about him and I wasn’t even born when he was President!


You’re wrong, Megan. When Reagan died, there were miles of cars in CA waiting on the freeway all night long to take people to pay their respects by filing past his coffin. When no one was watching. This man was beloved by more than just republicans even.

Even if Dems are screened out with a fine mesh screen, if it is Jeb, Walker, Cruz, Paul & Perry remaining in the race, Jeb will win easily.

If it is only Jeb and Cruz remaining, Cruz has a great chance to win nomination.

If it is jeb and Mitt and any one of the others above, the “other” wins easily.

And if the choice is Bush or Clinton? I’m seeing a lot of the same verbiage that was tossed around about Romney...

OK, here’s an interesting question:

An Omnipotent Force tells you that for the 2016 Presidential election, you have the choice of two outcomes:

1) Jeb Bush wins the Presidency

2) It’s the election process as usual

Which would you choose?

Jeb is a semi-conservative.

How is even a semi-conservative? He's not even a smidgen conservative.

Well, he can *run*, of course. Felix the Cat can run. But if the Republicans are stupid enough to actually nominate him, I'll take my vote elsewhere.

I would like to see a poll of the southern states since the Republicans cannot win the general election without a near sweep in these states. Whether or not the self anointed establishment like they cannot win without the support of the southern states.

I hear you! I will vote though, if only to voice my loathing of the creeps, even if I have to write in a name.
