If there was a continual reference to Jeb Bush and another candidate (by this candidate's supporters and/or so on), would you then be persuaded to feel that this GOP presidential election cycle is only between The Donald and Jeb Bush, or would you think that there are other good candidates available, as in Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker or others?
Must this be an either/or format?
If so, is this a choice between what could be called a high-energy P.T. Barnum-like atmosphere and a low-energy campaign or are there other options available?
Is it now a choice to being between exciting reality TV or to some what could be said to be boring TV?
Is this a situation where it has been posited by supporters saying their guy is the best and the other guy is the worst and there are no other options available?
Would Cruz, Carson, Fiorina, Walker and others themselves say that one must choose between either The Donald or Jeb Bush, or would they say that there are clearly other excellent options available on the GOP side of the nomination process?
If these GOP candidates have been referred to in a positive light by another candidate for the GOP side, is/are the reference/references to them being made in such a way that they are also good candidates worth of consideration to vote for, or is it only a passing reference?
What say you?
No matter what, “stay outta da Bushes.” (Thanks, Jesse)
I’m voting for Cruz.
That is all.
Trump is the only one who has the economic knowledge, organizational skill and lifetime experience to turn this around.
Who is Jeb Bush? Some third tier candidate with 5%
What say you, too?
Just thought I would ping you for this thread as well since you posted on the other one.
Have a good one today - to those on this post - and to the others in the first post!
Most other candidates are vote splitters designed to help Bush win nomination. They are not relevant. This race is between main street which has been adopted by trump and big donors who control gop and dems.
LOL. Not bad. Gotta remember that.

Ted Cruz appears to aiming for a January-2016 peak ... a deliberate trajectory ...
I like Donald Trump, but experience tells me that he can’t possibly sustain a 25 % rating between now and January-2016 ...
However, Trump will definetly kick Yeb’s RINO-GOPe ass in the next few months ...
.
I get your point, and I don’t support Jeb Bush at all, but quoting Jess Jackson? Wow, just wow...
Even a stopped clock....
Supporters have been positing this long before there was any article on this to provide “evidence” to a belief held before the “evidence” was provided - which leads to a situation where this has been the belief supporting the proof rather than the other way around.
It is akin to “confirmation bias” on polls and polling....
Oh really? LOL.
20 Times Donald Trump has changed his mind since June

I am loving the Trumphysteria that is going on in the media because they can't {or won't} understand why so many average American Citizens agree with much of what Trump says, especially about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, THE ECONOMY AND THE JERK OFFS IN THE MEDIA.
I think that Ted Cruz will be on the ticket come next November, but it may {or may not} be as President.
Maybe Trump/Cruz is not too bad as a winning ticket for America.
I do want to see Cruz as part of the equation, because he is a real smart guy, and a real Christian Patriot with American values.
Will you apply that to Jeb Bush even if you don’t support him?
Why, then, do you suppose 0% Lindsay Graham is still in the race?
And Perry?
And Pataki?
The bit, in that link, about the superpac funding changes is eye opening and explains how candidates who have no money can still stay in the race.
What possibly other purpose could that indicate? Why should someone with 0% polling. week on week, and NO MONEY stay in a race for president?
I’m not sure what your question is.
The article posited a choice between Jeb and Donald.
Jesse’s quote was apt here, in my opinion, even if Jesse is an idiot.
