CNN/ORC Poll: Bush surges to 2016 GOP frontrunner
CNN ^ | December 28, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe

Posted on 12/28/2014 7:06:50 AM PST by C19fan

Jeb Bush is the clear Republican presidential frontrunner, surging to the front of the potential GOP pack following his announcement that he's "actively exploring" a bid, a new CNN/ORC poll found.

He takes nearly one-quarter — 23% — of Republicans surveyed in the new nationwide poll, putting him 10 points ahead of his closest competitor, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who tallied 13%.

Well Barry is President so you got your wish. The more conservative guy won. Even Obana was opposed to gay marriage once. Mitt can’t even say that.

The controlled media will be lying to us about JEB! hourly. I don't believe any poll anymore.

The media have received their marching orders - push the JEB! candidacy so the American People will not be surprised when he is "elected". Since there is no way for every American to publicly declare for whom they voted, they will never know that the "election" was rigged and that JEB! was anointed by the power elite to do their bidding.

Jeb Bush is a joke and I hope that joke does not include America.

No more Bushs for me. Bush1 turned out to be the patsy for the Saudi royal family. Bush2 turned out to be an extension of Bush1 for the royal Saudi family of sheiks and Muslims. Bush3 is the water boy for further diluting if not removing the intent of the US Founders of the US. Note that I intentionally like to keep the United States as separate/distinct from other ‘American’ countries as the Founders also intended.

Dole.

McCain.

Romney.

They’ve done it time and time again.

I’ve about given up on national elections. The fix is in - and has been for decades.

Every one of those times we could have written in a conservative. “They” don’t ‘make’ us do squat. “WE” do what we want to in the voting booth...then some make excuses for it. I used to as well. But no more.

The GOP-E doesn’t pick anyone for us. We get to vote.

Bob Dole was a disaster, but he got the most votes.

Let’s choose a winner this time.

Jeb Bush, the man so monumentally dumb he forgot what he put in his own book when asked a question about it on his book tour.

Once again, the MSM tells us who they want their candidate to run against.

Romney never amassed the electoral votes needed, he amassed the delegates needed. Huge difference.

I said at the time that had the anti-Romney element expended the same energy pushing for reform of how delegates were allocated as they did fighting the latest GOPe offering, then we could've fixed the system rather than a one-time GOPe offering. It makes zero sense that a state like Illinois who has nearly zero chance of delivering electoral votes in November should get more delegates than Indiana, as just one example. Yet said systemic problem is routinely ignored while too any conservatives are focused on the latest GOPe offering.

Probably had Barry’s ‘terrorist/writer’ do his book too.

No doubt that is why they are pushing him so hard. It’s 2008 all over again, destroy the conservative candidates and push the RINO so a commie America hating puke can win. Can you imagine hearing “President Clinton” again or “President Warren”? “Today President Warren invited ISIS to the White House for dinner..”

So what you’re saying is that Jeb never actually read the book that has his name on the cover.

Why would that be a surprise?

"So many of our little Republican primary voters actually think a “Bush” is “conservative.” Goldwater once said he knew no one more conservative than the senior Bush. Just another AZ lie"

I have friends and family---conservatives who are right in step with Freepers when it comes to policy and values---who look at me blankly when I say that Jeb isn't a fellow conservative. They have no clue. When I explain, their tendency is to shrug and say, oh, well, he's probably going to be the nominee so what choice do we have?

Anything from me beyond that point they clearly don't want to hear.

LOL! I was so going to post this if you hadn't! I even had the same picture ready to go!

Isn't that Orc in the middle the one that went into Fangorn Forest after Pippin and Merry and was crushed by Treebeard?

This is why the GOP does not want a long series of debates.

Bush would not survive that. He would be called out as the Wall Street Liberal he is.

They’ll do what they’ve done for the last two elections - pit one quasi-palatable RINO against a large group of TEA Party favorites. The TEA Party votes get split and the RINO sails right on through. Our only hope this cycle is pick one conservative, pick him early, and pump money and volunteer efforts into that campaign. Of course that’s when the media will kick in and file a bunch of phony sexual harassment, or illegal contribution articles. It will be hard to win.
