In terms of bizarre theories, the GOP establishment believes Jeb Bush can win the presidential election. That’s completely laughable. His appeal is zero. Hillary’s appeal is strong this day, weakish that day, but those who like her, like her. There is nobody anywhere who thinks Jeb Bush is anything but a slug; now, tomorrow, and the next day. The GOP is going to find itself pushing this guy and a year from now it will become clear that not only is he absolutely unsalable to any reasonable part of the GOP potential electorate, he’s a lazy goofball who by that time will appear to not want the office very much. Romney Redux.
Guaranteed loser. GOP party disintegrates. Rove & Co walk away with tens of millions and the final swirl down the toilet bowl of history begins for the US.
The GOPe doesn’t care if Jethro wins or not, they just don’t want a conservative, Republican or otherwise, to win.
Not want the office very much .... Bush I Redux.
Yet the GOPe keeps winning. They start early, turn conservatives against each other, put out their lies without rebuttal, and they win. They have their media come out against our candidates again without any blowback.
And conservatives are always too nice to bring up their actual crimes. There should have been wall-to-wall ads of McConnell saying he'd rid the party of conservatives, calling us names, and stabbing the people in the back time and time again. If we're ever going to stop them, we need to bring something bigger than a table knife to a gunfight.
