If it already isn't. And of course that means finally the end of the GOP as a viable second party for real.
He has the same advantages and the same problems as HRC on the other team.
I’ve been predicting a Clinton-Bush “ticket of national salvation” for several years. It’s looking more and more probable.
Come and listen to the story ’bout a man named Jeb,
rich politician whose family helped him get ahead.
Then one day watching border-crossers flee,
he figured it was time for Bush number three.
President Bush that is
Big government, crony capitalists…
Well the first thing you know ol Jeb’s the President
Bush Clan said “Jeb move away from there”
Said “U.S. Capitol is the place you ought to be”
So he loaded up the Mastretta and moved to D.C.
Washington that is. K Street, corrupt politicians...
Well now its time to say goodbye to Jeb and his Establishment kin.
And they would like to thank you folks for voting them all in.
You’re all invited back again one day to this same possibility
To have a heapin help of another they call George P.
Another Bush that is. Crazy it is, Jessie Jackson was right...
Stay out of the Bushes, y’hear?.
I think the GOP is already finished.
...Just going through the motions now.
The Bush family does not live in the world of either conservatives, or the world of the far left socialists. Papa, Junior, and Jeb seem to believe there is a squishy middle world where everyone gets along and a well managed nanny state cares for the poor while ensuring the Wall Street banks and multinational corporations are protected by the full faith and credit of the US taxpayer. Jeb has more in common with the wealthy elites of Europe and Asia than he does with the average US citizen in flyover country. The Bush family has no concept of the struggle of the American middle class to survive, much less prosper. All were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and they have enjoyed the privileged lives of the elite aristocracy since birth.
Jeb running is a sign the family believes in the entitlement of a hereditary nobility, not the sweat equity of the working man aspiring to a middle class lifestyle unfettered by the heavy hand of government or the capricious whims of far off money changers determining the destiny of families and communities by studying a spreadsheet. Father and son George Bush were mediocre presidents who advanced the welfare state and accumulated huge debt. Why would anyone vote for a third act?
I am not voting for Jeb if he’s nominated. I don’t care who his VP selection is (even if it’s Cruz), and I don’t care what the doomsayers scream about Hillary.
If Jeb Bush gets the nomination the Republicans will go the way of the Whigs.
Yes, I will be finished with the GOP, even though I’ve been a PCO for more than 20 years.
Obama has basically destroyed the nation.
If we don’t find a severe alternative it matters little if Jeb gets in.
An end to the feckless and useless gop wing of the uniparty? Were it so, we would have a good reason to support Jeb. Unfortunately though, the gop seems to continue on regardless.
Sort of like a zombie.
The conservative wing of the republican party are weak chums, voices without bite. We lost so many battles I weep. I don’t know what to say other than I don’t think there are enough of us to make a real difference. Deficits (who cares), Amnesty (who cares), social welfare (who cares), secure our border (who cares), Boehner elected speakers (who cares, another defeat), etc... we lost because we are weak.
to the gop-e/rinos - i am not dr kevorkian.
it’s a thinker.
Jeb would be a worse pick than Romney, (and that’s saying something!)
We lost a few house seats and state senate and house seats because several conservative candidates ran against each other...we need a mini convention where those invited are by invitation and only one man or ticket comes out standing ...this being agreed to by all invited...then those who were not selected help that ticket beat Bush and a whichever weasels run against them. If we get more than one constitutional conservative in the primary then Bush or Romney or whoever wins.
Jeb will be the next Prez.
He is on the wrong side of the one issue that trumps all the others. That is the problem of the wetbacks. Actually he probably will have no impact on that issue. Boehner and McConnell, with the Sultan, will ensure that sufficient millions are voters before the next two years are up to emplace a Fascist/Communist/Moslem state for the foreseeable future.
I'm not interested in Bush as a candidate. If I voted I would write-in someone other than Bush.
Agree 100%.
Add RINOmney, please to that list.
I’ve held my nose for two presidential elections now. I won’t do it again.
Folks...seriously, it’s time for a Tea Party....or a revolution.
Realistically, if the GOP Congress fails to stop Obama in the next year, it will splitter apart. The nominee battle will showcase that.
