If Jeb gets the nomination, the MSM will beat us to death with GWB 24/7. The GOP is definitely not wanting to win. There are quite a few decent candidates not named “Bush”. I personally would love to have Jeff Sessions.

If he was conservative he wouldn’t even be on the news.

Jeb Bush is a sacrificial anode to ensure Hillary Clinton wins. She will be the first “homosexual” president.

I have been saying, if a RINO goes up against the Hildebeast, she will win in a huge landslide. I hope I am wrong, but I think not.

Jeb Bush: the murderer of Terri Schiavo.

He is unfit for any public office.

I don’t believe Republicans are suicidal.

They're not suicidal, just arrogant. Nominating another Bush would be just that....arrogant. However to you & me, it's suicide.

We HAD to vote for John, now we will HAVE to vote for Jeb.

And we will HAVE to be happy with our choices.

He’s also got a recent column complaining about intolerance of the gaystapo (the Mozilla thing), worked for Guiliani, basically, quite a mixed bag. :’)

The author's connection with the New Republic tells you where he stands ideologically.

This is the same tactic used 2 1/2 years before the 1964 election, to try to pimp Nelson Rockefeller as the Republican candidate against Kennedy. While Goldwater defeated Rockefeller fairly easily, the Rockefeller wing than sabotaged Goldwater--who also suffered from the six month honeymoon that Republicans gave LBJ, after the assassination, November 22, 1963. What is forgotten, that but for the assassination, Goldwater was on track to actually win in 1964.

The other lesson from 1962 - 1964, is that Goldwater failed to smile very often. Reagan with the same ideological background never made the same mistake, which made him much, much harder to smear convincingly.

To return to the present, defeating Jeb in the primaries should not be much of a problem. Just smile, when you expose his superficiality & politically correct sloganizing. He is not the serious intellect that is being fantasized by those in the Party who have compromised principle, at America's expense. (Come to think of it; they aren't very bright either.)

The GOP-e needs to think about this long and hard:

I’d rather have Hilary for President.

At least then the knives wouldn’t be in my back.

I won’t sit Jeb out. I’ll actively vote against him.

You’ve been warned.

“If Jeb gets the nomination, the MSM will beat us to death with GWB 24/7.”

I guess Bush Derangement Syndrome is incurable.

It still amazes me that they hate Dub so much, even though he really didn’t do anything to deserve it.

Damon Linker is a snake whose specialty has always been betrayal of those who place their trust in him. I see he has now turned his attention to betraying his country.

Jeb Bush isn’t an option for 2016; he’s a guaranteed democrat win.

It's not hard to understand why. Even without a replay of the Bachmann-Cain-Gingrich-Perry-Paul GOP primary freak show of 2012,

No bias here!
