GOP unhappiness with field fuels buzz for Jeb Bush

There's no doubt some Republicans remain unhappy with the GOP presidential field. They wish other candidates -- Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush -- had entered a long time ago. But the Iowa caucuses are in two weeks. Is there any chance, at this late date, that something could change?

All the alternative candidates have repeatedly said they won't run. But there is new speculation focusing on Bush after the former Florida governor turned heads Monday morning when he wrote, in the Wall Street Journal, a campaign-like economic manifesto headlined "Capitalism and the Right to Rise."

Byron, the establishment thanks you for your two cents.

[Travis McGee]

Please, NOT another Bush.

[ecomcon]

Could anything more stupid happen? I suppose so, in a cosmological sense.

[SonofReagan]

Looks like a done deal.

[Marie Antoinette]

NO.

[ransacked]

The mere mention of another Bush is a sick joke.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Another open-borders Bush?

Is he going to call us vigilantes too?

Just asking.

No, it really doesn't.

[trisham]

Jeb is completely unacceptable.

[ScottinVA]

No thanks.. not another Bush. Have had it up to my neck in “compassionate conservatism.”

I guess he worked out OK as governor of FL, but the softness toward illegals won’t work for me.

Headline's wrong.....RINO's unhappiness with field fuels buzz for Jeb Bush

Take that flag down off the flagpole-—nobody’s saluting.

Please, NOT another Bush.

Not only that can I have a waste bucket to hurl in...

If the RNC / GOP / Punditry Establishment are that deaf, they deserve to have their asses handed to them in this election.

The problem is they are too stupid to know if that happens the Republic if over...

[Georgia Girl 2]

Thanks Byron but we are trying to stay out the Bushes.

[varina davis]

Jeb Bush is a good man. He was a very good Florida governor. His personal life is exemplary.

[TomGuy]

Bush buzz threads have been going on for about 3 days now.

Trial balloons?

More like lead balloons.

Obama is still blaming things on the last Bush. It would be hard pressed for the GOP to try to sell the Nation on another Bush — to fix the problems the last Bush seemingly helped create.

I'm sorry, but it's idiots from our side who are running around demanding the perfect candidate who are going to get us four more years of Hussain and the complete collapse of the American way. There IS no perfect candidate. In the meantime, the Rats have enough sense to circle their wagons around the Boy King, who can do no wrong in their eyes. THAT'S why he will win a second term, not because he deserves one.

I'm disgusted with the whole damn thing. Flame away...I don't care anymore.

[cripplecreek]

Got enough RINO front runners as it is thanks.

[taildragger]

Hey Byron, just in case you are lurking...

Here is your answer.

The problem is Linguine Spine RINO's for the last 3 years gave the enemy comfort as they did not defend her and her family from personal attacks.

She pulled a John Galt and the Republic will be worse off for it...

You like apples, how do ya like dem apples.

The whole dang bunch of the RNC Establishment and punditry class needs an epistemological enema but they need to perform a cranal-rectalotomy before they can do it....
