Bush Campaign’s Demand for Fidelity Ruffles Some Republican Rivals
New York Times ^ | February 26, 2015 | Michael Barbaro and Maggie Haberman

The prestigious consulting firm, known for its close ties to Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, was orchestrating an extensive effort to remake his image and prepare him for the 2016 presidential campaign.

But that was no deterrent for Jeb Bush. His team hired the firm anyway and quickly made it clear that it wanted undivided allegiance. The company, FP1 Strategies, soon severed ties with Mr. Perry, startling his staff.

He will lose the Presidency. Will he take Republicans with him to loss by becoming the nominee?

Yep. The Bush family has done great harm to this nation. They have been running against Reagan since 1980 and were the losers in all this.

The age of Republican presidents is over. We can’t overcome the relentless attacks of the MSM and voter fraud.

Jeb Bush, much like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, feels such a high degree of “entitlement”. The sooner he is relegated to solely being a board member of La Raza, the better.

He isn’t getting my vote. His brother (like it or not) helped bring about Obama by sitting on his butt and letting the left define him day in and day out. His dad ran a horrible campaign and helped let the pervert into the White house.

I had a nightmare last night...a Bush/Walker ticket.

I don't know yet who I would vote for, but I know for certain a few I won't vote for and I don't care who or what they are running against.

Jeb Bush and Chris Christie are two of them.

The Cheap Labor Express has paid for an amnesty candidate and the RNC intends to deliver.

At some point people need to realize the GOP is not representing them and does not care what the voters want.

The purpose of the GOP today is to block conservatives from power.

They are the Washington Generals to the Democrats Harlem Globetrotters. It’s all political theatre to keep us occupied.

What we can’t overcome is that the top of the GOP is working with the Democrats against us.

Two questions:
When was the last time we had a “good” candidate?

When was the last time we had a candidate better than Obama?

That’s awful. Bush will fail and Walker will be spoiled goods from there on out. I probably still wouldn’t vote. We’ve tried this twice with Obama and it doesn’t work.

The media and Rove republicans are trying to push Jeb to the front of the line. They will try to pass him off as a conservative at cpac today. I wouldn't vote for Jeb no matter how many makeovers he gets.

Eisenhower, he was the last President to actively enforce the borders and immigration laws.

Anyone is better than Owebowmao, but he’s gone in 22 months so it’s irrelevant.

It’s been amnesty vs amnesty for the last 4 elections at least and the RNC is setting up for a 5th.

There is no way we will be allowed to elect a President who will stop the invasion within the Uniparty, R and D divisions.

It’s not irrelevant. He became President and was re-elected despite being a bigger lightweight than Carter.

It goes to show that NO candidate can beat a Democrat in the current atmosphere. They just have it locked.
