Mitt Romney Thinks Ted Cruz Will Destroy Jeb Bush’s Candidacy
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | January 10, 2015 | Dan Riehl

Posted on 01/10/2015 11:42:11 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

A tidbit buried at the end of a Romney adviser’s longish rationalization of why Mitt Romney may yet again run for the GOP’s nomination suggests Romney does not think Jeb Bush has what it takes to win the GOP nomination.

BuzzFeed reports:

According to one former adviser, the biggest political question Romney will be considering as he makes his decision is whether Bush will be able to make it to the general election.

“Look, Jeb’s a good guy. I think the governor likes Jeb,” the adviser said. “But Jeb is Common Core, Jeb is immigration, Jeb has been talking about raising taxes recently. Can you imagine Jeb trying to get through a Republican primary? Can you imagine what Ted Cruz is going to do to Jeb Bush? I mean, that’s going to be ugly.”(continued)

The catch is you must buy a Silver Plan to get federal subsidies. And whether you need to pay some or all of it back depends on your poverty level status by the time you need to file.

Whoopsie - the back flap of your long-johns just popped open...

“Stay out Romney, Stay out Huckabee, Stay out Bush.”
*******************************************************************************************************
Both Romney and Bush should stay in and help split the RINO vote as well as the RINO primary financing.

Huckabee (who stands about as much of a chance of becoming President as my Aunt Jane) should stay out as this fraud has convinced a percentage of the base that he is conservative (which he most definitely is NOT). Huckabee will enter with the sole mission of drawing off some conservative vote from the less discerning who he has fooled.

“If we want a Conservative to win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination instead of Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush, shouldn’t we be getting behind someone who can win, like Scott Walker or Ben Carson, instead of the inevitably doomed Ted Cruz?”
******************************************************************************************************
Bluestocking, IMHO you should consider changing your user name to LETUSPLITTHECONSERVATIVEVOTE. Rubio, of Amnesty promotion fame, has demonstrated that he is willing to sell out his “conservatism” in a nano-second. Ben Carson, decent man though he be, is VERY weak on the 2nd amendment and has not demonstrated a conservative core by a history of his ACTIONS. They serve merely to help splinter the conservative vote.

You put Cruz and Palin together and they could “waste” all the other candidates including Bush and Rohmney. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening.

He’s still thinking of that cartoon where W gives his father Saddam’s head as a Christmas present and Jeb gives him a tie. Never underestimate the old sibling snit.

Run to the right of Jeb Bush.

I think it's as simple as that. Good call.

He sees it. If he didn’t see it, he wouldn’t be trying to convince us of the opposite.

Why don't you give it a rest and really find out who Mitt is. Guess it is too hard.

Mitt the Socialist has run for President twice. We already know who he is. Take your Mitt and shove him up your 0bama.

He's the guy who trashes conservatives and licks 0bamas boots. He's the supporter of communist medical practice and institutionalized sodomy and gun-grabbing.

Take your Mitt and shove him up your 0bama.

Your point is well taken, but, Jeb Bush is no Mitt Romney. And Mitt Romney did not have Ted Cruz on the stage with him.
