In the 2016 presidential race, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is generally seen as the favorite of establishment Republicans which is not necessarily a good thing if you want to make it through the GOPs primary and caucus season successfully.
There, more outspoken hopefuls hammer issues like immigration, foreign terrorism, the economy, and same-sex marriage with a heavier, tea partyish hammer. At the South Carolina Freedom Summit over the weekend, the rest of the pack just about everybody but Mr. Bush talked tough on defense and foreign affairs.

"Americans need freedom, like Terry Shiavo needed water.
They do not. She did not.
All is for my family and the EXEMPT in DC, and Mexicans."
Move Left! Move Left! Move Left!
A big money high name recognition estab guy cannot mount a comeback....the only way that works is if this person is a front runner, or near the front.
The establishment GOP would rather see a Democrat POTUS than a conservative POTUS.
Same as Romney’s. Open primaries and rigged voting machines.
Jeb doesn’t need a plan.
Conservatives will split their vote so predicatably, that moderate Republicans and Democrats will have Jeb a sure fire nomination with months of the primaries starting.
Once again, California won’t even participate in the nomination process.
No Conservative voices will appear in state as part of the process.
I’d say good job RNC and GOPe, but hell, we do it for them. All they have to do is operate in the background and act as if everyone wants Jeb.
You know, just like they wanted Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney.
Get out the violin Conservatives. This is shaping up to be another loosing situation.
“What’s Jeb’s comeback plan?”
Change his name, radical plastic surgery and keep his mouth shut?
Precisely. If Jeb Bush -- with all his name recognition and established expectations -- can muster only 15.5% in the polls, how can he boost that number? Big money will only take it so far. And that's not far enough to win the McCain/Romney 30% plurality...
Take the RNC money, win the primary, lose 5he general.
Same name as the old version, but not quite as good.
I propose a couple billion dollars of advertising to salvage it.
I’m waiting to hear whether Donald Trump enters this race.
He’s going to be a serious competitor, and he’s virtually alone in saying we need to stop selling off America.
I am 100% for the guy. I sure hope he enters the race this time. I think there are a lot of people out here, ready to vote for America once again.
Run, Donald.
Clinton
Vs.
Bush
This is even though a super majority on each side, along with the Independents, cannot stand the either candidate.
The Globalist know they win if either Hillary or Jeb gets elected.
Jweb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.
There is no such thing as a conservative Bush.
And that compassionate conservatism is a bucket of horse crap.
I will NOT ever vote for another Bush.
This guy needs to just go away!
Yes, that is tried and true formula of the RINO’s.
