“He has the same advantages and the same problems as HRC on the other team.”
No, for a few reasons:
1) she could win a general election, whereas he’ll never, ever
2) there’s been one fewer Clinton than Bush president, which is marginally less outrageous
3) despite her basically being a Republican at this point, much like Bush the Other (as opposed to the Elder and the Younger) is a Democrat, and vice-versa, she at one point was the further left Clinton; remember Hillary Care?
Jeb should run as a Democrat-he’d be formidable.
“Democrats are running the Republican Party”
My usual answer is they don’t need to; Republicans have “enough experience as the Stupid Party. But it’s hard to explain how they managed to nominate a guy whose name is attached to the program (Romneycare) that inspired the program (Obamacare) that the party is running against as its #1 issue. It beggars belief.
Nor can I account for how in a year of seemingly endless, albeit juvenile, protests against Wall Street they nominate Mr. Wall Street, whose name might as easily be Gekko. Not that Occupy Whatever was onto anything, except that people naturally and rightly suspect Big Business. It’s just that you don’t need to give the game away, especially when Big Business is on the other side, too. Back when Republicans ran Wendell Willkie they were smart enough to sell him as Joe Hayseed instead of the Mr. Moneybags, Esq. he was.
As does a nomination for Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, or Mike Huckabee.
There is absolutely no way in hell Jeb could ever win. It doesn't matter who the dems put up.
Not a bad idea. She does have the b*lls.
Neither will I.
Venezuela has elections too. Both ours and theirs increasingly serve the same purpose, to promote/condone future/past high crimes.
The party died with Romney.
“If Jeb is the nom and faces HRC, the Democrat wins.”.
Isn’t that the medias plan?
Among others, of course.
We disagree.
