Cruz/Palin, Cruz/Jindal or Cruz/Haley perhaps?

My "Terrible Trio" from the GOP that I will not vote for going forward would include 1) Christie 2) Romney 3) Anyone with even one drop of Bush blood in them. We can do better than these dopes.

Only a few disaffected democRATS will vote for bushie. It would be a losing strategy, but the rethugs have done it before.

CNN ran an editorial about how very, very scared they are of Jeb Bush, about how great his odds are, and how they are really watching ol' Jebby closely because he is such a strong candidate.

As usual, the left is trying to pick our candidate. If they can pick another Bush, after everything the Bushes have done, it will be the icing on the cake. They will literally be rolling at how stupid the GOP (or rather, the GOPe) is.

I will predict that Jeb Bush running for president will hand the election to the Dems, any candidate they stand up, in the worst electoral defeat the GOP has suffered in decades. Which is likely their plan.

Jeb is going to be the next prex. I do not like it but again I will state that us sheeple have NO say-so. Pravda (the media) will direct it along with the oligarchy - the Davos group, Trilateneralist, NWO, etc. The “in-the-know’ group knew this one year ago. Our schlepping down to a voting both to vote for either of the nominees, who were predetermined by the elites only gives them a cover by simpletons as such to even consider them as representing the hardworking people of a once great nation. 300 or more million people & we get a Bush/Clinton ticket. Come on - you know the fix is in.

First, the GOPe will help Jeb tie up all the big money bundlers he can, which will be most of them, given his family’s connections. Next they’re start blowing in the ear of as many spoilers as they can, encouraging guys like Portman, Christie, Carson, Walker, Ryan, Santorum, and maybe even Romney to run in the primary, knowing they will just split the vote and provide ammo to the circular firing squad.

They won’t help Paul because he’s playing his own game and they sure as hell won’t help Cruz or any actual conservative who might gather enough support to be a factor like Obama was against Hillary.

It’s a battle for hearts and minds...of the big money donors. And their checkbooks.

You nailed it! The “distractions” can be played both ways...if the consevative field is narrowed quickly into the primary season we could walk away with a solid nom.
Carson will not make it and he is almost as scary as Paul. Christie and the others will split the vote. Remember Graham is jumping in to stop conservatives in SC..same with Portman in Ohio.

If Bush ran in 2016, I assumed, he’d run as a loud and proud fan of immigration reform, vowing to give the GOP’s wealthy business class all the cheap, legal labor it could handle. Rubio joining the Gang of Eight suddenly meant that there would be two candidates in the race who could fill that niche

What I've always found totally bizarre about these amnesty pimps is that they have a focus on, basically, useless and low-paid labor coming over to the United States, even though there are plenty of Americans without jobs... but, yet, immigration policy for people with actual skills is terrible.

My degree also includes a TESOL certificate, so, consequently, I've been working with a lot of students who are still learning English. People from all over the world coming over from their countries to get advanced degrees in engineering or business, and they're generally hard workers (except for the insanely rich Chinese kids, who don't seem to care about their grades). Most students in our universities, I have found, are horribly lazy. Drug use is common among them, even here in Texas. They lack basic skills or, if they have them, don't really have the motivation to use them. Liberalism is also plentiful among them-- yet, I sat there and lectured a Chinese student about Reaganomics, and he replied, very pleased, "I agree with this completely!" So a student from a bloody Communist country has more sense than the average American young adult! But to get to my point--- it seems as if our immigration "policy" (or lack thereof) is entirely backward. We want hordes of people with no skills, the people that even their own countries do not want (Mexico purposely encourages its masses to come to America-- a little bit like international welfare), and these scumbags in the GOPe and Democratic party tell us we are OBLIGATED to take them. But then the people who might be proud to become Americans have so much paperwork and restrictions placed on them, most will have to leave the country within a year if they can't get a high paying job in their field.

A rational immigration policy would be: We should only accept the people we need, who have real skills and a chance of assimilating among us. As a country, we have a right to regulate the flow of immigrants, but even the GOPe is obsessed with undermining this right, and forcing us to become the welfare tit for all the world! I for one will NOT support ANY candidate who supports amnesty, thus rewarding people with no respect for our laws, no matter how long they've been in hiding in America.
