With time on her hands since her MSNBC show is cancelled, journalist Joy-Ann Reid pens an op-ed for the New York Times featuring disillusioned Jeb Bush supporters.

These anonymous Bush supporters are deeply upset with the notion that Rubio would consider running for president without allowing Jeb to have his moment.

After giving Rubio a “ceremonial sword,” Reid writes that Bush allies are trying to “dislodge the blade from his own back.”

Marco Rubio is a “tree falling in an empty forest” event if I ever heard of one.

If he and Jeb hurt each other, I call it a win.

When Rubio announces, the left will still be chatting about President Ted Cruz signing up for obamacare.

I’m frustrated that Bush is so stupid to think he and his positions along with his name could win .

I am also frigging pissed off republicans like Mccain who put down our side because MCcain and his gang think we should be always doing what the Dems want.

Good, let them complain about Ted Cruz inflicting the same pain on himself that the rest of us had forced on us.

Rubio has his negatives, but he’s ten times better than Bush. He’s everything Bush is not - young, bright, articulate, worrying to the Democrats...maybe Bush should take this as a sign that his coronation is not imminent, after all.

Did Jebbers think he could just waltz in on the Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush family name along with the GOP-e coronation blessing? Get in line Jebbers—you and Marco can battle it out for the pesident of Floriduh campaign.

Bush: pro-Amnesty
Rubio: pro-Amnesty

Otherwise, Rubio sounds better in his speeches, at least claiming he wants to repeal Obamacare (but then planning to replace it with a plan he likes).

In any case, I’m hoping Rubio will take at least a few votes from the bland establishment candidate.

Funny—I was incredibly frustrated by Jeb’s inaction in the matter of starving Terri Schiavo to death.

Jebs did a lot to help Terri Schiavo and family but he didn’t hold fast at the end. He could have been a hero if he intervened when they were dehydrating her to death but he wimped out. He knows it and has not been the same since. If he got rolled by the little old swamp judge down there he won’t stand up against the hacks in DC-—but Ted Cruz has and will.

allowing Jeb to have his moment.

THAT is part of the problem with a Jeb run.

What makes this "his moment" any more than any other qualified candidate's "moment"?

Elitism! And THAT is part of the problem with the Establishment GOP.

No.

He is a clone of Bush. I wouldn’t vote for either under any circumstances.

Jeb Bush Supporters ‘Incredibly Frustrated’ That Marco Rubio Might Run

They actually should be frustrated that Jeb is running. Once he is soundly rejected his larger political career is over... And he will be rejected.

Rubio’s best role is in undermining Jeb. Although Rubio takes some maddening positions, he is to the right of Jeb and is a terrific speaker compared to the dull, dry, boring Jeb. Jeb will have a hard time looking good against him.

Well, since they are they same guy barring they murder of one disabled lady and the plus on the other-side of being "Hispanic" not just married to one, I can see where the frustration might come from.

Lies!!! Bush has no supporters except those in the media, because when the time comes he is most easily destroyed and defeated.

That's part of the Bushbot's problem. Arrogance and entitlement. I say Bushbot, because frankly it's their political team and supporters who are worse than the Bush family themselves. Unfortunately, W took bad advice from those people and I can see Jeb doing the same thing. That's the biggest reason I don't want of them near the White House.

The Bushbots think they made Rubio. No they didn't. Didn't Jeb endorse Rubio in June of 2010 after Charlie RINO ran as an independent?

Rubio's highest and best use is as a Senator. This spicy hot dog ought to be working for Cruz' campaign, or shutting TFU and trying to make sense of a "Republican" Senate.

KB to Senate Republicans, Over. You fellows have a majority. Repeat a Majority. Copy?

I can’t think of anything office I would elect Marco Rubio too. I can’t stand the guy. I know he is or used to be Mark Levin’s guy.... but I never bought into the Rubio hype.
