Jeb Bush: Is GOP elite drafting him for 2016
Christian Science Monitor via Yahoo ^ | 4/1/2014 | Peter Grier

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was one of their early choices, but now they’re worried the investigation into the Ft. Lee traffic jam is hurting Christie’s chances. Meanwhile, they’re concerned about the rise of Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, due to his tea party libertarianism and non-interventionist foreign policy inclinations.

Who can save them from this mess? Is it … could it be … a Bush on a white horse?

I'll admit to not knowing much about his politics and I'm willing to give anyone a fair looksie - but another Bush?

This is not an April Fool's joke right? I mean, if this is who the GOP is going to nominate, we might as well send Clinton's interior decorators and painters to 1600 Pennsylvania.

How is this so clear yet no one in the GOP apparently can see it? Maybe that's what they mean by "invisible"........

I can’t wait until this next election. The democrats old tactic of blaming Bush for everything will be stale and out the window. They will have to own this mess they made. Now, let’s see who could we nominate to best capitalize on this? I know, Jeb Bush!! Brilliance I tell ya, pure brilliance!! And besides, he is the only “electable” guy out there.

The Captain of flight GOP has flipped on the auto-lose switch. Place your tray tables in their upright locked position.

I was waiting for a flight Sunday and the lady in back of me was talking about her lifelong work with the Republican party at the TX state level.

She had just come back from some Republican strategy meeting where her choice “Jeb” was looked upon favorable with the “big money doners”.

She was very sure he was going to be the one chosen by the party.

Dole, McCain, Romney. Now Jeb. Just wonderful.

IMO nominating Jeb Bush would produce a near Mondale-grade electoral defeat....and permanently destroy the GOP as a viable party. The Dems would of course love that, and the GOPe would love that only a slight bit less, because their position would be tightly secured.

Time for a 3rd party, regardless of what Mark Levin or Rush say.

“She had just come back from some Republican strategy meeting where her choice “Jeb” was looked upon favorable with the “big money doners”. “

Ok, so just spinning this on it’s head for a moment....

What do the “big money donors” see in Bush that they like so much? The hope to benefit? Or is he somehow aligned politically with what they hope to accomplish?

I’m pretty sure Rush Limbaugh thinks they are. He was talking yesterday about someone he “knows” is “running,” and I’m pretty sure it’s Bush.

If they Nominate Jeb and shove him down our Throats...

I shall start the “Punishment Party” we will vote for the absolute worst of the two parties until the electorate screams for some actual conservatives!!!!

That is unless the Tea Party decides to leave the GOP and form it’s own party then i will fully support the tea party.

So what they are saying is that they don’t even want to carry Utah?

I’m thinking Jeb is a “play” to win FL and then they take the remainder of the normal red states......
