Even though moderate Republican candidates lose presidential elections without the conservative base (see: George H.W. Bush '92, Bob Dole '96, John McCain '08, Mitt Romney '12), former Florida Governor and potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush thinks conservatives are not needed to win the White House.
Bush believes that a presidential candidate who is "willing to lose the primary to win the general" has the best shot at the White House.
*snip*
Should Bush run, his embrace of comprehensive amnesty legislation and Common Core will put him at odds with conservative voters in the early primary states.

Oh sure; 2012 totally was not indicative of anything.
Sigh. Through should be “throw.”
Jeb and the rest of the Bush clan think they are royalty and that their views should shape the direction of the country...they are progressive NWO statists who think conservatives are below them. You sanctimonious Bushies can get lost, including the talking head bimbo’s clowns like Perino.
Spoken like a true political elitist from the GOPe.
Go back to your ivory tower, Jebbie.
Folks, this is the Republican Party of 2014.
This says it all. Don't trust Jeb or Fox
Does he think that the people WANT another Bush? Not only NO, but HELL NO!
What America does not need is Jeb Bush.
Same old fecal matter, Different day.
The stench is even stronger than usual, Though.
Read it GOP: I will not vote for Jeb Bush.
Message received. I'll vote for a conservative, and not a Republican.
He don't need my vote, I damn sure won't vote for him.

No conservstives were planning to vote his @ss in anyway. Would be like voting Hillary in.
Conservatives
It’s time to establish the “Jeb Bush” pledge.
And that is, to sign a statement that if Jeb is the GOP nominee, the undersigned will quit his/her affiliation w/the GOP and vote Democrat.
Because if Jeb is the nominee, he will lose, and that means Hillary will win. The country will be lost at that point and there will be little or no point in resisting it any more.
Dear Jeb,
Your brother ran up the debt and expanded entitlements.
You, are a fat dope. Yes, your family has political influence, but you are a fat dope.
America is not about another Bush being president.
America is about protecting the freedom and liberty we are guaranteed by the Constitution.
You do not represent America as founded.
Therefore, you must be defeated.
On Jan 3rd, you will see a large sign denouncing you and promoting Ted Cruz.
As God as my witness, if the RNCs Presidential Nominee is Romney, Jeb Bush, McCain, Romney, or Christie I will switch to Libertarian or Independent. (Ben Carson may get himself on this list too if he sticks his foot in his mouth on guns anymore).
This is actually a good development. Usually the RINO choice of the establishment hides his true beliefs and manages to win Iowa with 30% because the conservatives split 70%. If Jeb keeps talking, I can’t see him getting 10%.
I will no more vote Democrat than I will vote for Jeb Bush.
Both total nonstarters.
Amen, Jim.
