[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” the co-managing editor of Bloomberg Politics John Heilemann said he was shocked when he learned from a new Bloomberg poll that 42 percent of Republicans “said they would never consider voting for Jeb Bush.”

[Caipirabob]

And screw you, too Karl Rove!

[Lurkinanloomin]

I’m a former Republican and I’m never voting for Jeb Bush.

[mowowie]

Add me to the list.

[Mamzelle]

Dear Prince Rience—you may get the nomination for Jebbie, but that means I’m voting for Hillary. I’d rather have Herod than Judas.

[rightwingcrazy]

Presumably they mean in the general election, as well.

[rockinqsranch]

He was “shocked”!?

That’s one dumb SOB.

[lowbridge]

But, but, but....he can win!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Agree. Bush should have the decency to withdraw.(Which withdrawal will not happen.) He may be malicious enough to want to act the part of a spoiler.)

[strider44]

I’m surprised it’s only 42%. The Dems will do all in their power to make sure Bush gets the nom.

[nascarnation]

You can almost see this coming together....

Hillary
Jeb
Tea Party

And Hillary takes the THIRD Clintonian plurality win!

[lee martell]

Jeb can have my vote...on the 12th of NEVER!!

[SpaceBar]

His comments not withstanding, this sounds like one of those 93.76% times that people make up statistics on the spot.

[RaginRak]

I’m one of them

[demshateGod]

Most of those probably would end up doing it, but that number should make his richer donors think a little. They'll keep pushing him though because it's not about winning. It's about defeating us.

[dila813]

I just hope he doesn’t win, because he is a looser in a general election.

[Jim Robinson]

FUJB!! Amnesty pimps, CommieCore pushers, homosexual marriage advocates need not apply!!

[taildragger]

Correct me if I am wrong here....

Last major pole in the Romney 2012 days was that 38% of Republicans had left the party to independent status and or considered themselves Conservative 1st.

If this research is correct, congrads to us all we have grown our ranks by 4% with a marginal improvement of 10.5%...

FWIW my guess is the EGOP knows this in their gut since 2010 and this is why even McCain told the IRS to investigate Tea Party activities. The old guard knows we are the metaphorical barbarians at the gate, and their gig is almost up.

Beating McCain in the primaries is a must to send another message to Disney on the Potomac. And that is it is time to restructure all of DC / Programs / Regulations just like all of Corp America had to re-invent themselves...

Last time McLame beat a pretty good Congressman, JD Hayworth.
Who is gonna take him out?

[C210N]

I would *consider* voting for Jeb, with one little caveat... that he was running with Hillary!, either end of the ‘Rat ticket.

Of course, I’d only be *considering* it. The actual chance is Slim to None (and you know the rest... Slim has left town).
