He should just run as a democtrat and his base wouldn’t be such a problem.
Brilliant strategery...
"Conservative" base? WHAT conservative base?
Conservatives have been told to sit in the back of the classroom with the safety scissors and glitter.
I know. I don’t know why they bother to pretend there is an “opposition” party, when they don’t oppose much that the rats support. Can’t wait to see if he goes full Cochran on conservatives, calling us racists, pandering to minorities, etc.
He’ll lose. I’ll tell Jeb right now if he thinks he can win a GOP primary without faking being a conservative he might as well stay home.
After all, a lot of the other candidates don’t intend to commit political suicide. The big mystery is why Jeb wants to self-immolate his presidential ambitions.
I am about as loyal a Republican as they come. I even held my nose and voted for McCain. But I will stay NOT vote for Jeb, period. The party needs to understand this, because I know I’m not alone.
What are you talking about? He is the King of Rino’s. Mitt had 4 million stay home and not vote. Bush the stupid will have 8 million voters stay home and not vote.
It’s really not that much of a mystery. Jeb feels cheated by W. In his mind, he was supposed to be President—and might have been had he won his first Governor’s race. He might even have been a better President than W, but life ain’t always fair.
Of all the Bushs,Jeb is the most arrogant.
I’ll put 50/50 odds on Jeb winning the primary if he runs. The only one who could confidently beat him is Rand Paul. I hope another Governor, like Walker, runs though. I am not looking forward to electing another Senator as POTUS.
He assumes it will be a coronation.
And he assumes Hillary will run.
Both of them are questionable. Hillary’s inevitability is not guaranteed.
Neither is Jeb’s.
This works to our advantage, as he won't disguise himself in the primaries. With Christie also running and siphoning RINO votes, this is the best chance that conservatives have had to win the Republican primary since Reagan.
Yeah, I’d really love to know how Jeb Bush is any different from Hillary or the rest of the Democrats. Oh, I know! He’s a more competent, big government guy than the Democrats. Like his brother, he’ll make government much larger, but he’ll do it efficiently...
PUKE!
If conservatives can unite around Ted Cruz early, we’d get a conservative GOP nominee.
If not, the party will be stuck with another RINO loser headed to inevitable defeat in November.
Because the Bushes are true believers...in centrist moderation.
Pissing off your core voters is always a recipe for success in Rove-world.
Another compassionate conservative.
George W. spent so much like a drunken sailor he ruined the GOP brand.
Centrist coalition, my footsie.
NO WAY EL HEFFE
