Neither former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., nor Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. have announced their plans to run for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, but both are already speaking and acting like contenders, going head to head on issues such as immigration and education reform.

Bush said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed last week that efforts to tackle immigration reform on a piecemeal basis are “short-sighted and self-defeating.” …

No more dynasties.

No Bush’s, no Kennedy’s, no Rockefellers, no Clinton’s, no Roosevelt’s, no Jackson’s, and definitely no Obama’s.

No more dynasties.

So we have a Bush III attacking a supposed tea party candidate for not being liberal enough with his amnesty proposal. We have officially become the Bizarro-Republican Party.

RINO Kabuki. The GOP-e have already anointed Bush-Rubio to be the losing ticket of preference for 2016.

In 2016, it will be Jeb's "turn" for the nomination--just as it was Dole's "turn" in 1996, McCain's in 2009, and Romney's in 2012.

Jeb is big on immigration reform as well. Can i get a candidate who says. “go home and we’ll let you know when you can return.”?

This is GOOD!

Get Jeb out there ealy, and let him fall on his face, such that he fails early in any Primary bid.

“Can i get a candidate who says. “go home and we’ll let you know when you can return.”?”

Yes, you can find such a candidate.

And their name is loser. And none shall remember him.

You don’t have to like it.

Just know that what you’d like has no correlation with what is possible in this culture.

O-M-G I do not think I can handle 4 years of this garbage! Give the public a break all you would-be contenders and WAIT. I’m a politicaholic and even I’m sick of it right now.

As far as BUSH - just NO, NO, NO - we the people are sick of dynasties. If we wanted that, then why not just elect Bush king?

As far as RUBIO - NO. I’ve heard enough to know you aren’t who you pretend to be.

Grrrrr......stepping off the soap box now.

We need to restart HUAC ~ the first idiots to call before the committee will be Bush and Rubio. Throw in Pericaliente for show and we can destroy the RINOs and pro-Mexican crowd right now!

Prediction:

A full court press in the fall of 2015 here on FR to support Jeb in the primaries by the usual suspects spewing the usual Team GOP talking points and sanctimoniously villifying any FReeper that opposes them. Yawn....

Will be very interesting when it comes down to Rubio vs Cruz.

I have no doubt that the next republican prez candidate will have a ‘latino-sounding’ surname. I have whimsically suggested before that all republican candidates will change their name to a latino slant. It’s our only hope . . . . Obe Wan Diego!

Even El Rushbo has done it.
