Jeb Bush Makes an Anti-Pander Promise if He Runs in 2016
New York Times ^ | December 2, 2014 | Jonathan Martin

Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida was blunt Monday night: If he runs for president in 2016, he will not pander to his party’s conservative base in the primaries.

Mr. Bush said at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council in Washington that Republican candidates must be willing to “lose the primary to win the general, without violating your principles.”

“It’s not an easy task, to be honest with you,” he added.

Pure trolling gold! If the Dauphin Bush thinks he is so special that he won't condescend to the conservative base then the conservative base will give the "love" right back at you.

Nice to know.

Guess I’ll schedule other things to do on election day because I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS RINO.

Not now.

Not ever.

Wow, he just told us in no uncertain terms to go f*** ourselves. That’s ok with me Jeb. We’ll be saying the same thing to you on the night of the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary when you’re looking on the results and Cruz or Walker have beaten you.

This “Republican” announces that he will not pander to Republicans.

Instead, right out of the box, he panders to Democrats.

Wonderful.

With all of the sickening lovey-dovey talk that we’ve seen between the Bushes and the Clintons over the past few years (”Bill’s my brother from another mother - herp-a-derp!”), it wouldn’t surprise me if this ass were to endorse Hillary when he loses the Republican primaries.

IOW he’s saying I’m just like my dear old NWO Liberal Pandering Dad and Smirking Chimp Face Illegal Alien Pandering China Loving Brother W. Oh and don’t fergit bout our new adopted brother Billy Bob Jeffthro the Dope from Hope Yuk Yuk. Family Motto is A family that’s socialist together stays in power together. No I don’t miss the Bush Family any of them. They all damaged this nation and they have far more in common morally, politically, and financially, with Barak Obama than with me.

There really is no need or purpose for any America loving patriotic conservative to be in this craptastic joke of a party.

I won’t vote for him.

If he is the nominee I’m staying home in November 2016.

If he becomes president he’ll work triple overtime (along with Rove) to purge the GOP of all Tea Party elements. That will be a primary goal for him.

Liked him as Gov of FL. But after amnesty and common core-loving surfaced, he’s dead to me. This is but the last nail in the coffin for this stinkin rino.

I’ve never heard of any politician promising to pander, but they all do. It’s just a matter of WHO they pander to.

So Jeb is on record now to be the Huntsman of 2016. May it be an equally successful campaign.
