Maybe Jeb Bush doesn’t have to pander to the right wing after all

I would crawl over broken glass to spoil vote for bernie sanders over “yeb!” Bush if the rnc is dumb enough to make him their nominee....
Unless trump runs third party in that scenario.....
Gas on acellerator over cliff (bernie) vs. Slow drawn out death via hillary or jeb.....
Cruz or lose..... there is always the trump card.

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).
Jeb's a tired guy. Most of the support he has is because people thought he could win. A third party campaign by him almost certainly couldn't win, so I doubt he'd mount one. He's not charismatic or a candidate with convictions (Anderson wasn't either, I guess, but at least he thought he was in his own mind).

Bush is the only one of the candidates who at this point would force me to vote 3rd party.

“But so far, it doesn’t seem to be happening. Bush is offering a kinder, gentler conservatism than the other candidates — not in substance, but in tone. And even though he’s trailing Donald Trump in the polls, at this point it looks like his strategy might just pay off” Chortle!
Wishful thinking anyone?
That statement is false on so many levels I don't even know where to begin.
1. Bush is NOT running as a conservative on anything. Not in substance. Not in tone.
2. That strategy is NOT working. Latest polls have Trump polling at TWICE as much (20%) as Bush(10%), with Walker in 2nd place at 13%.

Yup. The Jebster’s trailing The Donald by significant margins in both New Hampshire and in his own home state Florida, and getting easily clobbered by both Trmp and Walker in Iowa. Looks like that anti-conservative strategy is working alright. LOL!
