Jeb Bush’s nascent presidential campaign has already won over many of the big-dollar donors and GOP elites. What he needs to prove now is that he can win over the crowds.
Until visits to South Carolina and other early states this month, the former Florida governor hadn’t been on the campaign trail for himself in 13 years. He hadn’t sold himself to the deeply conservative, tea party-inspired crowds that have emerged as a driving Republican force in the Obama era. He’d never snapped so many “selfies” with admirers.

If he plays the chameleon and completely shifts to the right for a right leaning crowd. But no one would ever do that.
I 2nd that! Go away jeb. Please.
No, he cannot fire up the base.
And it is sad to see so many donors pouring money into him as a “lost cause”.
..can a scorpion in your shoe scratch your big toe for you?
The media is sure pushing Jeb as the RINO candidate.
I would give my left nut to know why Bush is really running. I don’t know one Republican who would ever vote for him.
My guess? Money.
NOT VOTING FOR JEBSTER, EVER!
CLEAR ENOUGH?
The RNC will use their playbook that got McCain and Romney nominated against the wises of most of their voters to nominate the Democrat in an R jersey named Jeb Bush.
We will not be allowed to vote for anyone to be President that will stop the invasion. The purpose of the GOP is to block conservatives, not represent them.
Sure he can...I imagine it will go something like this: “You don’t want Hillary to be President, do you?”.
WaPo: Oh Please Oh Please nominate the Doofus
Please please please please Pleeeeez.
The Beast can knock him over no problem
Pleeeeeeeez let us pick your loser for you
I have already seen the but but....SCOTUS judges canard. Sick of it and I don’t care anymore.
He can with Walker at his side, once he’s anointed as the nominee.
He cannot fire up the base, but he can certainly drive even more of the base away.
HOWEVER, if the Republican “leadership” manages to shove him down our throat it just might lead to a third party. Personally, I think that would be a good thing.
The Republican party leadership is so entrenched, and so bad, that the party itself needs to go away. A new party with new leadership is the only way I see to get the job done.
Jeb has ‘loser’ written all over him.
This is satire, right?
Oh he will fire us up all right, but not in the way the Compost is thinking.
They are so drooling at the prospect of another Bush to incessantly flay in public. But they’ve got to get him the nomination first. Then the dismemberment will begin.
Jeb is the front man for accumulating money to bribe other GOPers to vote for open borders. Every candidate needs money.
Jeb’s base consists of RINO’s and the Chanber of Communists.
Patriots of all stripes will look elsewhere, thank you.
Yeah. I see a headline about Cruz or Walker and I’m curios about what is in it so I read it. When I see one with Jeb Bush in the title I mentally say “Nope” and continue perusing headlines for something interesting.
Same thing with Rubio and Christie. Now if there is something else in the title like “space aliens” or such, I may bother to skim the article. ;-)
