Bush is offering a kinder, gentler conservatism

Oh, like his brothers, "Compassionate wars" lasting decades costing trillions?

The Bush's are really big on compassionate ya know. They really care.☺

“Bush is offering a kinder, gentler conservatism than the other candidates”

I bet he’s banking on the democrat candidate being so bad
and out of touch that he will win with the democrat vote.
But that’s only if they rig the primary, again, and he
actually gets on the ballot.

For all the MSM and Talking Heads.
No RINO is getting elected to the White House PERIOD.... Don’t care what their name is how much money they have, how often you tell us they should be elected. Our Nation is in disarray and needs a strong conservative to rescue it.

Aren’t all liberals that way. Why should he be any different.

Down 12 in the latest poll. “His strategy may pay off.” LOL!

These people simply make it up.

Jeb has been bashing conservatives all alone saying he won’t have to worry about actually winning primaries. Everything is going according to his plans so far.

He’s been surpassed in the polls by Donald Trump, but he hasn’t really fallen... But none of the other candidates have broken out, either. Trump, Bush, and Scott Walker are the only ones who ever score in double digits.

Trump has gone from 4-5% in May to 25% today. In a 17 candidate field that is huge. That is also called "breaking out."

If one did get elected, it would have to be with votes which usually go to the ‘rats, so how would WaPo like that?

Actually, they might like it just fine, because that would mean that the left has locked up both parties in our two-party system, one for the so-called “moderate” left (supports abortion, sodomite mirage, higher taxes, bigger government) and one for the far left (supports all of the above, only quicker).

Boy are they desperate. Bush now trailing in his home state to Trump and they are beside themselves. “Maybe he doesn’t need Republicans to win the Republican primary.” That’s coming.

Jeb has nothing to lose. He should get up there and cry for the Mexicans while giving Americans the finger. I’m not going to vote for him under any circumstances.

The difference is I’ll say it... the ‘press’ will back him and not one of them will vote for him. Just like they did with McCain.

So please Jeb - don’t pander. You can’t stand Americans - tell it like it is.

If you are the favorite Republican candidate of the WP, NYT and the bulk of the liberal media, they are backing the person that will be the easiest for the Democrats to beat. The Pubies better remember Romney’s 47%!

Our Nation is in disarray and needs a strong conservative to rescue it.

And if we can't get a strong conservative, better the enemy we can fight against than the one that claims to be on the same team. I would prefer Hillary to Jeb at this point.

That’s exactly what we have, R and D divisions of the Uniparty.

One represents the illegal aliens.
The other represents their employers.
No one represents the citizens.
They thought they were going to run their usual playbook and nominate ¡Yeb! to try to make us vote for amnesty.

Enter Trump.

If all he accomplishes is knocking out ¡Yeb!, he will have done the country a great service.

Voting for ¡Yeb! will be used as proof that Americans really do want their country colonized.

Funny how so many establishment types are wringing their hands over the possibility that Trump will run 3rd party if he doesn't get the GOP nomination.

IMO, it's a more likely possibility that Jeb would do it if he fails in the primaries. With all his PAC money, he could potentially sustain a 3rd party run (kinda like John Anderson in 1980): the question is whether he would peel off more 'Rat votes or GOP votes.

I agree. We’ve had enough of holding our noses and voting for Dole, McCain and Romney. I’m to the point of “what the hell.” I will vote 3rd Party if the Jebster is the GOP the nominee. We have nothing to lose.
