Can Jeb Bush win the GOP nomination . . . by praising President Obama?
Washington Post ^ | 4/24/15 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 04/24/2015 8:02:50 AM PDT by jimbo123

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush supports President Obama’s trade deal, praises his management of the National Security Agency and agrees that Congress should have moved faster to hold a vote on new attorney general Loretta Lynch.

And that’s all since last week.

It’s an unusual approach for Bush to take in seeking the nomination of a conservative party that mostly loathes the current president. The former Florida governor has gone out of his way at times to chime in on issues where he agrees with Obama — bolstering his attempt to be a softer-toned kind of Republican focused on winning a majority of the vote in a general election.

I think Jeb Bush has been hired to undermine the republican party in the next election. He will try to take enough votes away for the socialists to win.

It worked so well for Juan “I think Obama would make a good president.” McCain

The Cheap Labor Express has paid the RNC millions for an amnesty candidate.
Jebster is supposed to be that candidate.
Rubio will do if you won’t swallow another back-stabbing Bush.
In case you don’t remember, Rubio has already left one knife in the backs of conservatves when he schemed with Schumer against the citizens with his Gang of Eight traitors.

It will take a miracle for conservatives to nominate anyone who isn’t a cheap labor importer against the combined efforts of The Cheap Labor Express, The Ministry of Propaganda and the RNC.

Jeb will have to win the nomination without my vote and he will also have to win the general election without my vote. Good luck Jebbie.

“Does anyone know of a single person who wants Jeb Bush to be president?

I don't. Most people wish he would just go away.

The only people who support him are his family, the MSM who write articles praising him and a few very wealthy donors.

He should realize that same press will viciously turn on him about two minutes after the nomination.

“He should realize that same press will viciously turn on him about two minutes after the nomination.”

He is either too dumb to realize that, or has made the calculation that the humiliation is worth what he’s being paid. Or both.

If nominated, it is my oft-repeated claim that Jeb will deliver the worst Republican defeat in two generations.

I thought Jeb couldn’t fall any lower in my esteem. I was wrong. There is no situation in which I would vote for that loser, and I am just as willing to tolerate a pro-Amnesty, pro-Obamacare big government liberal like Hillary in our White House as I am to tolerate a pro-Amnesty, pro-Obamacare big government liberal like Jeb in our White House.

Located on DirecTV channel 360, Bush has 24/7 advertising and praise. They won’t let him lose

You are correct, he will lose worse than McCain. But the RNC and his backers don’t care. As long as they block us from electing anyone who would stop the cheap labor importation/invasion they like to confuse with immigration.
Their real goal is to keep The Cheap Labor Express running.

Oh, I’m not talking about about a McCain-style 2%’er. I am talking about an embarrassing, party-ending rout a bit shy of Mondale in its scope. A 47-stater. An obliteration.

I’m afraid that’s what it will take, for the Republic to survive, the GOP must die.

We can’t continue with one party representing illegal aliens and the other representing their employers and no one representing the citizens.

Wow! how many times does the establishment GOPe have to run a closet (leftist democrat) candidate )Bush) who praises their co-leftist democrat candidate during the campaign, while trashing the American (Tea Party) conservatives, and at the same time needs conservative votes to win?

This is truly the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome each time!

This RINO has no chance to win, in my opinion! I have more respect for the American people this election cycle than anytime in this Country!

RINO’s need not apply, and the businessmen funding these RINO’s will not be allowed to purchase this election!

Give Jeb a dress or pantsuit, a cheap wig and pasty makeup, and he would pass for Hillary, until he opens his mouth, and loves on Obama more than Hillary ever would.
