Those who have compromised with the forces demanding illegal Government, for a wide variety of reasons, are threatened by any one too honest to go along with what has been happening. Most of those rallying to Jeb Bush are not so much into looting America, or obtaining any special interest, as they are simply scared of seeing anyone rock the boat of rationalized acceptance of prevailing evil.

No, I cannot prove the point in so many words. But the point is based upon many decades of observation of those rationalizations. And it is not just a gut feeling. It is premised upon watching the body language of the rationalizeers in reacting to a wide spectrum of potential threats, in thousands of instances.

And when the GOP coronates jeb, you all will carry his water here or else. It happened with dubya, no matter how much of a big government liberal he was. It happened with mccain, and he proved to be as much of a hack as people claimed he would be. It happened with romney, who was more or less obama without a tan. It will happen with jeb.

If the Republicans nominate Bush that would confirm that the party has a death wish.

Bush is the GOP “Romney” this time. The only one on the current tryout stage not making wildass speeches unable to articulate what they would do if elected. Maybe I wrote too soon - maybe Bush liked 9-9-9.
