Jeb Bush’s money juggernaut is far eclipsing the efforts of his would-be rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, putting his two political committees on pace to amass an unprecedented sum of tens of millions of dollars by early spring.

People are wasting their money on this douchebag. Common core, amnesty and his name will deprive him of the nomination.

No.

There seems to be a much better one for the Republicans. But more on that later.

I can see it forming up already...

Jeb..Hillary..Tea Party

Hillary takes the 3rd Clintonian plurality victory.

30 seconds after the networks call it for her, Lanny Davis is on saying “the people have spoken..Congress needs to cooperate”

They use SC to kill off any momentum from Iowa. The South is proportional, so the Conservatives split the delegates. The more liberal states are winner take all, so the establishment candidate takes them all.

That's why Romney's guys rewrote the rules under the radar @ the 2012 convention so as to make sure the establishment candidate had all the money and momentum front loaded early in the primaries.This was designed to keep the tea party riff raff out.

If it weren’t for elections, the LSM would be broke.

Looks like the RNC is going to force Bush on us.

Guess what I will not be voting for Bush. I don’t care if it’s Hillary.

There’s not enough K-Street money out there will induce me to ever vote for another Bush, especially one named Jeb.

All Governor Palin has to do is announce and she'll raise over a billion dollars from the heartland within a month.

And Palin can't be bought off by the Chamber of Communists or GOPe superpacs. That's why they sicced the beltway conservatives like Byron York on her after her Iowa speech.

Yep!

A bag of money is no good when nobody wants to hear what you’re selling.

With 93 Million AMERICANS out of the workforce, Jeb’s message about “needing immigrant workers” falls flat.

Ted Cruz needs to announce his candidacy within the next 30 days and then challenge Jeb to a debate.

I suspect there will be about 20 candidates in the initial debates and each one gets about 5 minutes.

Let’s see, I voted for Mitt and 12 million of my brethren stayed home. If JEB is nominated I predict myself and over 20 million will sit out 2016.

In what alternate universe would Bush do that?
He has nothing to gain, he has all the money and name recognition already.

Early days, though Ted C. should & could.

America needs a different (saner?) path, more levelling, a more historical & “traditional” path... Bushes, Clintons, IOW, the old oligarchs won’t provide it.. it’ll be more of the same ol’ we’ve seen last (16) 24+ yrs. Let’s not forget the current incumbent in the WH got there on the back on previous admin. My thoughts, for now.
