It’s actually a little worse than this description indicates, at least among the general population. Romney had a “very positive” rating of 24% in October 2012, just before the election; it’s down to 8% now. That’s still better than Bush, whose “very positive” rating has never gone into double digits in this series, and now stands at 5%.

It’s lower than that. They never asked American people if they were “fans” of Jeb Bush. The question was probably who would you vote for if you had to vote R and a gun was to your head right now, and they’d heard the name Bush.

If they truly asked thousands if they were fans of Jeb Bush, they couldn’t get more than three. Not three percent.

The RINOs are terrified of Ted.

Republicans unenthused about Romney, Bush bids for 2016

That's akin to saying, "The Americans were unenthused about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor."

These communist RINO pukes are every bit as much enemies of American citizens and the US Constitution as are any actively belligerent enemy or terrorist combatants.

Jeb Bush has a lot of money
Mitt Romney has the GOPe backing

But my vote belongs to (in order): Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Mike Pence, Sarah Palin

Don’t know much about Susana Martinez.

I am personally sick of the same old political losers.

When Reagan ran in 1976 and again in 1980, he represented something new within the party. Reagan was a new voice of Goldwater-esque conservatism combined with a record of practical application.

If that's what we want, then we want Mike Pence.

Hmmm.

That is the first mainstream media article/poll that isn’t gaga over either Romney or Bush.

Maybe Romney AND Bush and their moneymen will take a hint — if either gets the Republican nomination, the Democratic nominee wins — again.

Of course, that does NOT mean Christie or Huckabee is the new go-to guy.

Frankly, I am just as excited about Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber as I am about Dole, McLame, Lindseed Graham, Huckelberry, Crispy Creme, and a whole host of other GOPe Rinos.

I can’t put much stock in an article that mentions Rick Snyder as a new conservative leader. That guy is about as conservative as Lindsey Graham or that idiot that started the ‘no labels’ party.

RE:”NBC/WSJ poll: Republicans unenthused about Romney, Bush bids for 2016”

I saw that this morning.

Come on GOP. With Dems calling for redistribution aren't Romney and Bush the two perfect candidates to pitch the alternative, that if they make mo $$$ we all end up better? If Romney gets a tax cut we all win. I think that line cant lose.

And don't forget that 47% that Romney claimed that he wouldn't care about.....

I guess in 2012 he didn't convince the entire remaining 53% to vote for him, the other 47% ......he has a plan for them,....??

But this time Romney says he will be *himself*, not the phony his handlers told him to be in 2012.

what?!

I am hyped up they are both running!

Now they can both split the moderate Republican GOPe voters and leave the way open for Cruz or Walker to take the nomination!

One paragraph:

not just the future of the Republican Party, but the aspirations of the electorate for the future of the United States. Regardless of their desires, Romney and Bush represent the past: the past of their own track records, and the past of the Republican Party"... Expresses my thoughts. I find the "Country Club Republicans" the biggest voter turnoff known to science.

Hey beltway elites, did you forget The Map on November 5th?

The people in the Red areas want their country back. They want Cruz/Palin.

If that doesn't happen, we'll storm the Republican National Convention.

“Unenthused”, is not the word I’d use.

Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez, and even the senators Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul look like Good promises for the future to me.

I don’t know anything about Mike Pence, and Marco Rubio can’t compete with his Governor in the race.
