Yeah, I saw quite a few Republicans that were a bit against Trump turn on twitter to Trump.

But, again, all that matters is what people think in Feb. 2016.

That doesn’t say much for the Univ of Texas.

He was a Phi Beta Kappa and graduated magna cum laude.

How much did his family pay them?

Bush needs to read the new NYT article out tonight - Trump leads amoung every GOP demographic - women, college age, no college, etc. Trump will be almost impossible to beat.

I’m thinking the Jebster is the Vice Principal in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Save Ferris...

I don’t know, scares me. All those uninformed voters watching their tvs, this is their only source of information. I think that’s how Romney finally pulled it off.

Hope I’m wrong.

The only reason he wouldn’t panic is that he is as stupid as he looks and sounds.

I would find it very difficult to vote for JEB! maybe impossible.

I don't have a horse in the Republican race yet, but I do know who I'll never vote for:

1. Anyone with the last name BUSH. Na-Ga-Da-It!
2. Lindsey Graham. Too flaming IMO.
3. John Kasich. No, I'm NOT my brothers keeper!
4. Carly Fiorina. She ruined HP, no way in hell she can run a country (Unless it's into the ground!)
5. Mike Hucksterbee. Yes, I said HUCKSTERBEE.
6. Rick Perry. Is he still in the race?!
7. Rand Paul. He's as nutty as his old man.
8. Chris Christie. A heart attack waiting to happen.
9. Bobby Jindal. Not voting for someone who reminds me of Apu from the Simpsons.
10. Marco Rubio. Meh, forgeddaboutit. 11. Rick Santorum. Doesn't have a chance in hell.
12. George Pataki. Declared, and candidacy already deceased.

That leaves Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, and (OMG!) Donald Trump for consideration. Yeah, that's a somewhat eclectic mix of candidates isn't it?

Even with these three, I'm not that happy. Cruz while right on damn' near ever issue doesn't seem to make friends very well. He alienates damn' near everyone.

Scott Walker. I like what he did in Wisconsin but is he really Presidential Material?

Donald Trump: He's 2016's Ross Perot with bad hair, and seemingly just as nutty sometimes. Still -- he shakes up DC and makes alot of the DC Establishment nervous and I like that.

Wishing someone like John Thune would run myself....

Jeb: Wrong on immigration, wrong on Common Core, no defined tax policy, wrong on foreign policy, can’t stand up to the Washington cartel because he was born into it.

Cruz: Right on immigration, right on Common Core, defined tax policy including abolishing the IRS, right on foreign policy, consistently, and LOUDLY, stands up to the Washington cartel.

Just in case anybody should be in doubt Jeb is my line in the sand. Will not vote for him for any reason. Will never happen.

Kasich does not sell outside of Ohio.... He’s at Joke level...

I know the Establishment likes him since Jeb and their back up plan Walker looks to be toast too. Nevertheless, Kascich just anther boring political with the same old tired platitudes.

Sorry he has about as much chance as Chris Christy. Which is less that 1/100 th of 1%.

Sure. post cards and tv adds in the age of internet news, netflix and the DVR are effective uses of campaign resources!

Trump is eating everyone else’s lunch except for Cruz who is using a specific targeted effort to entice the fifty million Evangelicals who do not vote to vote.

JEB! has already spent millions and effectively confirmed the fact that he is a boring and out of touch plutocrat.

He could spend a billion on TV and junk mail and still miss the actual voters he will need to close.

Meanwhile Trump has spent almost nothing on his self financed affair and the more they attack him the more free ink he gets and the higher his poll numbers go. He is a master of publicity and marketing.

Bush is stuck in the last century.

YEB IS AS DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCK

He is, if he thinks the conservative base will support him

I'd vote for a box of rocks before Jeb!
