And unless there are any changes, this is the order. Iowa, New Hampshire,Colorado,Minnesota,New York,Utah.Then from Feb.6 thru Feb.23,we have Nevada,South Carolina,North Carolina and Michigan on the 23rd. Obviously the odds of Bush even winding up in the top three are about the same as the odds of Joe Biden taking the Democrat Nomination in 2016. The far left media will probably keep Bush in the top three with their "Left Leaning Polls". Should be interesting to watch their reactions when Jeb wont even make the top four in Iowa.
Neither scenario will ever happen...
I don’t think he will make it to the first primary. If he does, it will be as a 5th or worse place also ran. Maybe 4th at incredible cost of money.
I’m in Texas and I’ll happily take my Sen Ted Cruz’ experience...from clerking for CJ Wm Renquist, fighting the Bush-Gore recount fight as a member of the US Justice Dept to being a part of the FTC and fighting market-harming regulations..to being the Solicitor General for Texas....ANY DAY over Gov Rick Perry’s - or ANY other Gov’s experience.
No “stint as a Gov” can come even close, IMO. And, Cruz did all of the above...very well, and very conservatively....with his “Ivy League” credentials.
Walker/Cruz....Governors have executive experience and do things...senators vote on things that other people do(when Reid lets them)
He won’t. He’s not allowed.
Yeah, that sounds about right. The Country Club RINO set isn’t about to let a real conservative win.
I'm not even suggesting the guy wouldn't be a great president. I'm talking about how his candidacy is going to be viewed by the people who matter most: voters and financial supporters.
When you have a candidate whose only major accomplishment to date was his heroic stance against ObamaCare in the U.S. Senate back in the fall of 2013 ... for which he was roundly criticized and beaten down by his own fellow party members .. you can understand why a lot of us are skeptical about his prospects in a national campaign.
good call!!
I don’t see that happening.
What did Ted Cruz accomplish? He succeeded in scaring the crap out of the Rats and their RINO weenie lackeys. He shut down our enemy, Leviathan. Ted Cruz did that. Nobody else did. In fact, mostly the rest just tried to stab him in the back. Ted’s my main man. If he’ll lead, I will most certainly follow.
His accomplishments are moving the debate and challenging his own party leadership. This is the best thing he could possibly do, a GOP without Cruz is not even worth a vote. He was a junior senator from the minority party and you want to demand he pass legislation on his own? That is being unrealistic in the extreme.
What exactly have Ted Cruz’s accomplishments in the U.S. Senate been, to date?......When you have a candidate whose only major accomplishment to date was his heroic stance against ObamaCare in the U.S. Senate back in the fall of 2013 ... for which he was roundly criticized and beaten down by his own fellow party members .. you can understand why a lot of us are skeptical about his prospects in a national campaign.
Now That Ted Cruz has Declared His Candidacy- You Ever Seen the Guy’s Resume?

[Don’t think Cruz will get 60 with Walker next door, unless Walker bows out for some reason]
Since Cruz declared his candidacy, I haven’t heard a word about Walker from anyone - and I live next door to Wisconsin.
TED CRUZ 2016!

But I hope your right about Jeb enthusiastically supporting the nominee.
I wouldn’t be surpised if Cruz quit and endorsed Jeb right before South Carolina.
When Rubio beats him in Florida.
Even though being outspent 3 to 1
And i am no rubio fan, just totally against another nonconservative damned Bush.
Poppa & Bro.? Lol. I feel as thought I’m in Haiti twenty five years ago, talking in hushed tones about Papa Doc & Baby Doc.
As for the question, I expect Jeb wil quietly bow out between this Halloween and next Valentines Day.
Jeb will NEVER, ever EVER endorse Cruz, unless Cruz somehow miraculously becomes the nominee. Even then, if Jeb does endorse Cruz, it will be done with oblique, abstract non sequiters and backhand compliments. Or he may ‘go dark’ again, and just disappear from the social scene entirely. The sad part is when Jeb ‘disappears’ very few of us will even notice.
The Bush family is not Royalty and has screwed the pooch twice, losing to Clinton and Hussein Obama.
The very fact that “Jeb” has the audacity to even run is astounding.
Obama has nothing on “Jeb” in the audacity department.
“Jeb” must be neutralized early in order for the GOP to avoid LOOKING GODDAMNED RIDICULOUS.
Since the office of Governor and President operate entirely differently, I fail to see the necessity of gubenatorial experience. I strongly agree with Mark Levin’s position on this. We have had some great Presidents that not only have never had executive experience, but had never held public office. Dwight Eisenhower is the first to come to mind. I think of him every time I travel the interstate.
It is far more important to have a vision and the will to take us in the direction we need to go. Ted Cruz is a Leader.
Bush will never support Cruz. He’ll say nice things about the Democrat nominee (even if, by some miracle, it’s Hillary) but he won’t support Cruz.
In fact, I would not expect Bush to support ANY Republican other than himself. He’ll say something generic like, “Let the people choose the best man to reflect their views.” Or, “I support whoever the party chooses.”
That way he can give the appearance of class without the substance.
