I wouldn’t put it past Jeb. He sound like an angry man to me. He has to stop these conservatives any way he can.

Unlikely. He wants his son to have a political future beyond Texas Land Commissioner.

I’ve read that he said she should get a vote and here they’re saying he supports her confirmation. Wonder what he actually said (not that either thing would be good).

Since this is not a convetional campaign season, and we are going against the establishment grain, and defy conventional wisdom , then ?

Would be it way to early for Jim Robinson to use his clout, and declare now, to support Ted Cruz and endorse him for President ?

If Jeb Bush wanted to be president he would run as a Democrat.Jeb’s job is to repeat Romney’s act, and McCain’s act and the classic Bush I act of both of GHWB’s runs. He couldn’t avoid being elected as RR III the first time, even though he did at least try to take a fall. By the nature of Bush II’s campaigns I am not terribly sure that he actually wanted to win. To his credit when he was over the top and the Democrats were trying to take it away from hem he held on and allowed a win. We can even go back to Dole and Ford. Neither of them acted as if they wanted more than the honor of the Nomination.

I understand your outrage. Jeb is Democrat Light, a mushy middle of the roader who will only slow our decline a little. On the other hand, by not voting you empower Hillary. Do you really want Hillary?

He knows he can’t get the conservative vote, so he is going after the disenfranchised democrat vote.

Ms Lynch said at her confirmation hearing that illegal aliens have a RIGHT to work in America. That disqualifies her as chief law enforcement officer of our country. Period.

Jeb is a fool.

“Jeb goes against GOP grain” stories seem to be much more common than “Jeb agrees with GOP voters” stories.
