The Week ^ | October 27, 2014 | Matt K. Lewis

It seems increasingly likely that Jeb Bush will run for president. (Even his son is talking up the prospects.) What remains to be seen is whether Jeb Bush can actually win.

A lot of GOP establishment types are excited about a Bush candidacy. But don't expect the grassroots to eagerly embrace a former Florida governor who has made a habit of moderately breaking from conservative orthodoxy on big issues like immigration, or who recently (mildly) singled out Fox News for criticism. As the editor of the Washington Free Beacon said:

He'll have to start by not being a liberal RINO. Good luck with that.

I will throw up in my mouth as vote but I will vote for Peewee Herman if he is the GOP candidate, so I guess I will vote for Jeb if he swindles the nomination.

These people horrify me daily.

This is a false flag operation the week of early voting and election day buildup.

Fly Bush in order to piss off conservatives, depress republican turnout, and energize the anti-bush democrats.

that simple.

Jeb IS IDENTICAL to huntsmen and the establishment beltway knows it. This is a lead balloon fake out.

Well the MSM will support him at least during primary season.

When/if Jeb Bush loses the primary, the damage will be done.

After that all we will hear from the MSM is ...Jeb said this and Jeb said that.

Jeb said the party needs to embrace all lifestyles etc, global warming..his son on Sunday said that global warming was real

That is an example of what happens when true conservatives compromise with the moderates.

Reagan seemingly thought he had to compromise and put Bush I on the ticket to get GOP moderate support. We have been suffering from ‘them’ ever since.

And, with P in Texas, there are more coming in the future. You can bet P will run for governor in Texas. If he wins, and he probably will, he will then run for the presidency.

Likely.

The media are salivating at the possibility of another Clinton-Bush match-up, and they will be pushing for a similar result. The media are already digging dirty, just in case they get this wet dream match in 2016.

It's called "hedging your bets."

Truly a case of "What Difference Does It Make?"

My line in the sand as far as voting is Jeb and Crispy. I just won’t do it. I’d vote for Mitt again before I’d vote for either one of them. And I would have to hold my nose to do that.

Lets just nominate Ted Cruz and be done with it.
