It's over: Jeb Bush will be the GOP nominee in 2016

And why is that? Because it's beginning to dawn on me that Jeb Bush is probably going to be the Republican Party's nominee for president in 2016.

Consider: With the ongoing implosion of Chris Christie's political career, the GOP establishment has lost its best hope for a candidate who could stop a libertarian-populist insurgency during the primaries. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker — the list of viable fire-breathers is longer (and less dominated by incompetents, crazies, and one-note sideshow acts) than establishment types would like.

Wouldn’t be prudent.

Ya know a lot of people here and elsewhere had trouble with Romney last time. I understand that. He wasn’t the most conservative guy. But, I voted for him and had little trouble doing it considering the other option. I wasn’t excited about it but I thought the country would be better under a Romney Admin than another Obama one.

Jeb? God.

I hope you're wrong. I'm Bushed.

[slouper]

Total BS, in their dreams.

[Ray76]

Jeb Bush is an Amnesty loving America hating RINO piece of trash. No Bushes. Period.

[Ray76]

You are exactly right. Nomination is a gold watch. Think of Dole.

[slouper]

Total BS, in their dreams.

If you are a conservative, the GOPe hates your guts.

This is the correct answer. Karl Rover and the sorry-asses who now run the republican party would rather never win another election again and hold onto control of the party rather than take the risk of letting a conservative win the election and possibly take it over.

[bimboeruption]

Rethink Carson...he stinks on the 2nd. Amendment.

[golf lover]

Is Robert Dole still available?

Breitbart - One Voice Silenced, Millions Awakened

THE greatest desire of the enemy is to demoralize us, and to distract us away from the things we have control of.

AN American Patriot does not give in to fatigue, nor is the American Patriot deterred by the seemingly impossible.

LET us plow our anger into committed actions focusing on what we need to do, not what the enemy is doing.

THE immediate task in front of us is electing true Conservatives, and expunging ourselves of the GOP Elitist, in the coming primary season.

If we can defeat McConnell, Graham, and Cochran it will be our proverbial shot heard around the world. It would forever discredit those who speak in condescending tones about the very Activist who contribute, campaign, and are the foundation of the Republican Party.

It will also send a message to independents, and millennial voters, that unlike the Democratic Party we will fight the Elitist within our ranks.

Do not listen to the Establishment that seeks to belittle you. Make them listen to us, by focusing, and doing your part in forever defeating the Democratic Wing of the Republican Party.

This country needs Allen West right now.

[DManA]

I’m not judging him. I’m just saying the base will not vote for him. I won’t.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Who cares?

We blew it. We are the USSA. Who cares which king we have? My country died.

[Vendome]

BS

He can go to hell and burn.

He is an anethma to our ideals and a globalist...plick....

[faithhopecharity]

Agreed. Now just look what we got. Pray for America.

[dalereed]

Jeb will never get my vote!

[Theodore R.]

The purpose is not to win but to honor the Bush family.

[Red Dog #1]

Like 2000 thru 2006?

While he MIGHT have been a darling to Florida and national conservatives, Jeb Bush is married to a native of Mexico (Columba is the daughter of a migrant worker). And before you scream “ethnocentric bigot” at me, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Love knows no bounds.

George P. Bush is Jeb’s kid. Both he and junior are ALLEGED to be Republicans (RINOS?) but they are probably afflicted with a form of cultural schizophrenia, having a foot (or other body parts) in both cultures which may partially explain WHY they’re pushing AMNESTY. They’ve forgotten that THEIR loyalty SHOULD be to el Estados Unidos (sorry, the United States) and they swore oathes to the Constitution HERE, not that of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguy, etc.

And why the Pubbies are falling all over themselves to court the 16.4% (50,477,594) of allegedly LEGAL RESIDENTS who call themselves Hispanic is beyond reason. And that a number of Pubbies are hell bent on hiking that number by another 11 to 20 MILLION NEW VOTERS, a large percentage of whom — conditioned to the freebies and other goodies supplied over the years by BOTH parties — WILL BE DEMOCRATS, causes one to question their sanity.

Memo to the GOP: With a number of exceptions, the bulk of the hispanics already here are NOT Pubbies and the new ones won’t be either. Do you clowns have a DEATH WISH??

Between the invasion from the south and the Muslim invasion, any vestige of European culture — the culture MY great-grandparents and probably yours brought here after standing in line at places like Ellis Island, being interrogated, proving they had a “sponsor”, being deloused and recorded — will be a distant memory – IF it’s remembered at all.

And if — in some strange and metastasizing American desire to return to a royal family dynasty — Jeb or his son should win the White House in some future presidential beauty contest designed to divert the American electorate every four years, I’d bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W’s behavior look like a warm-up exercise.

All of that said, ya’ gotta wonder about why Rand Paul is now making pro-amnesty noises.

Bracing for FLAMES from the Bush people in here.
