Hillary Clinton Is Rooting For Jeb Bush
MATT LATIMER August 17, 2015
There is an obvious subtext to the panicked effort to purge the GOP of Donald Trump: to allow the party’s true hero to emerge to vanquish Hillary Clinton and restore peace and justice throughout the land. To most GOP elites, of course, the savior is Jeb Bush, complete with the Clark Kent glasses and aw-shucks good guy demeanor. The Chamber of Commerce crowd is so convinced that Jeb is the man that it (so far) has placed a bet of more than $100 million on that proposition.
There’s just one problem—the Clintons want Jeb Bush to be the GOP nominee, too.
It was Trump himself who picked up on this fact when Hillary Clinton singled out Bush for criticism over his remark that “I’m not sure we need a half a billion dollars for women’s health issues.” Bush later said he “misspoke.” (This is supposed to be the safe, gaffe-free candidate, right?) By going after Jeb directly, and far from the first time, the Clintons want to “elevate” him, Trump charged, because they know they can beat him.
Here’s something you don’t hear, well, ever, in Washington: Donald Trump is right.
Regardless of whether Clinton survives her primary battle with a growing list of potential foes—that before long may include Joe Biden, blast-from-the-past Al Gore and heck, at this rate, maybe even Michael Dukakis—Republicans ought to think hard about the reasons why Bush might be the easiest of the serious GOP contenders for the Clintons to beat. And it’s not just because they’ve done it before.
#1. Baggage Handling
Think the Clintons have political baggage? Well, so do the Bushes. And Jeb is being crushed under the weight of it.

Pigs are always rooting for something.
Next to her and Bill, Jeb’s her favorite Democrat.
HRC is fooling herself. She may not get what’s coming to her, but it’s pretty slim she’ll be able to stay in the race.
She is Mao in an orange pantsuit. Wish she was in Orange jumpsuit.
Hillary would support Hitler or Stalin as her opponent is she thought she could beat them.
In the alternative, she could join them as they have a lot in common.
I think you’re right. This is just not the 1990’s anymore.
Without effervescent Bill to entertain the country as the true “bubba” and to cover her razor edges and hedges, she is a horrible candidate even in the best of circumstances. As a criminal candidate she has to go.
Leaving her standing makes the FBI, the Justice Department and the White House look like fools and dupes of hers, that she owns. I don’t believe that’s a legacy of opinion the Obamas will tolerate. Therefore, they will let this roll and let Hillary swing.
Yes, you are right. Good analysis.
Who in hell wants another Bush?
The same people who want another Clinton!
“hillary Clinton is rooting for Jeb Bush”
Of couse she is. Even she can see that new movie nating Jeb! will cause millions of conservative voters to stay home, voters like me.
No matter who Jeb!’s opponent is in the general, I’ll NEVER vote for him.
This fact is lost upon the GOPe. Then again, the CoC doesn’t care. They’d prefer the Witch over Cruz, anyway.
