At least Jeb is helping us to identify all the RINOs.

There’s all kinds of flavors of candidates. Each has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. What I still don’t understand of the Jeb supporters, if they’re not motivated by a desire to suck up to the establishment, is “Why?” Honestly, I think only an utter lack of imagination would draw one to this joker.

No, but I have been in Michigan since the 70’s and any time I have seen him on the news or hear any of his campaign bs you can see what an idiot he is.

Looks like my Congressman (Trott) is on that list. It’s a shame he successfully primaried a real conservative like Kerry Bentivolio.

Schuette is pretty good but Bush chose him for his campaign so the endorsement is pretty much a given. He's probably looking at a US AG slot (which would be a good pick)

Disappointing but no big deal.

LOSERS! Losers All! L. Brooks Patterson was old when I lived in MI in 1977. He must be 150 now.
