Repeat 2012. Rinse and repeat. Conservatives have no unity. They will not unite behind one candidate. Which is why they will not win in 2016.
Sadly, I believe what you say is true. Bush is my least favored candidate and I just bet he will be the nominee. At least what Romney said is correct, we need new blood as a nominee if we want to win.
Likewise, Jeb Bush is at exact bottom of my list. But my memories from 2012 still haunt me. Romney had a hard time crossing 30% in the beginning, in spite of all his money and additional support from GOPe. Then count how many conservatives were fighting each other.
Depth of field my azz. Just give me ONE conservative running against Jeb Bush. But the ego’s on our side are too big. They will fight each other until the bitter end. Sad but real. The end will be even worse. Jeb will lose to Hillary or whoever the democraps nominate.
If conservatives are smart, they should get behind the candidate who has won the most delegates after SC primary. Can that happen? I will not hold my breath.
