Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is doing opposition research on himself and asking Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) about how he can potentially win the GOP presidential nomination without conservatives.
Bush, who has said he would make a 2016 decision in "short order," recently said that a candidate must be "willing to lose the primary to win the general [election]." And he has reportedly "begun conducting opposition research on himself to identify any potential issues that could arise" in a potential presidential campaign.
And According to a New York Times report, Bush recently visited McCain, who is often reviled by conservatives, to ask him how to win the nomination without the conservative base. McCain won the 2008 nomination after his campaign almost imploded because of his support for comprehensive amnesty legislation. When McCain teamed up with President George W. Bush and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) to push an unsuccessful comprehensive amnesty bill in 2006, his support dried up, and McCain had to lay off most of his staff and carry his own bags in coach class en route to campaign events in New Hampshire.

Just like trying to put toothpaste back into its container.
Because McCain perfected that move in 2008.
He could run as a democrat.
have either of these clowns graduated from a tricycle to a bicycle yet?
blind leading the blind
Stay outta da Bushes!
John McCain is probably the worst person to ask ‘How can I win by betraying the American people. Obama is the go to guy on that question.
Great. Ask a loser how to win.
Run for the Democratic nomination. You’re welcome.
Dumb and Dumber
Another black mark against Jeb
Losers united are still losers!
Jeb could ask Jon Gruber how to do it, but we will still never vote for him in a million years.
Very much like asking Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper) how to win over women without ‘game’...
... He couldn’t help you and had no interest in winning anyway.
In Bush's defense, McCain did win the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, I assume with a low percentage of the self-described conservative vote.
you cant, so GO AWAY you fat basteedo.
How would McCain even know the answer to this question???
He has NO experience in this area
Anyone who’d actually ask McCain how to win has zero common sense and would probably hire Wile E Coyote to advise how to hunt birds. Loser. Loser. Loser.
Yes, ask John McCain how to win....
