Mitt Romney’s decision to forgo a third try at the White House has settled the question of whether the 2016 GOP presidential field has a front-runner — bestowing a coveted status on former Florida governor Jeb Bush

If this is really the best the GOP can do after 8 years of the most liberal presidency in history - Romney or Bush, maybe with Christie thrown in for good measure - then what possible purpose does the GOP serve? Liberals are already represented by the Democratic Party. If the GOP wants to represent the tiny "Liberal Lite" segment, who exactly represents conservatives - who are still the biggest plurality in the American electorate.

Jeb should ask Rudy Giuliani what being the GOP frontrunner a year before the primaries gets you. He could ask Hillary too for that matter.

We all need to calm down.

Things are much better than they’ve been in a long, long time.

We have at least two likely candidates (Walker and Cruz) who are better than anything the conservative wing of the party has offered since Ronald Reagan 37 years ago. Conservative candidates in the past have been nobodies, has-beens, or barely trying. Thanks to the internet donor base and independent expenditures of dedicated conservative donors they can be fully financially competitive without any establishment-blessed fundraisers in New York or LA.

And Jeb Bush is unlike any past “establishment” candidates. He is violently opposed to many mainstream conservative goals and ideas. He is distinctly associated with NO mainstream conservative goals and ideas. He’s not like John McCain in 2008 ... heck, he’s not even like Rudy Giuliani in 2008. You have to reach back to the likes of Howard Javitz to find someone with his (lack of) fit on the ideological spectrum.

If Jeb is nominated, it’s because Republicans want him, not because the wool was pulled over anyone’s eyes.

Jeb Bush has become the GOP front-runner for 2016 — so now what?
****************************************

$hits and giggles from H. Clinton! I must ask how a Bush can fight one of his own? Just a few months ago George was stating that he and Billy were brothers from another mother? Yuk...yuk...laugh...laugh...oh those silly friends....

Oh PLEASE, how is a Bush going to really go after Hilary’s record when they are like family to one another????

NOPE, I refuse to vote for another Bush or any one that thinks or acts like one!

[weeweed]

We’re so screwed..

If Jeb is the Republican candidate most likely to loose in the general election, it should be entertaining watching the LMSM try to promote him as the best Republican candidate in the primary.

Bush has the highest name recognition. Basta!

I remember, when George W. Bush was in the pre-primary season, he had a 27% support level in the polls, when other candidates were at 9% or below. The catch was, that 90% of the Bush "supporters" thought Dubya was his father. When asked again, Bush's "support" dropped to 10%.

If Jeb Bush was named, Jeb Moore, he'd be nowhere.
