The Bush family despises conservatives far more than they do progressives.

They've always been that way, they'll always be that way.

I guess that's why Poppa Bush turned Reagan down in 1980 and did all he could to defeat him.

Seriously, the Bushes didn't get as far as they got without being flexible.

Jeb will support the party's nominee if he thinks it's in his interest.

Unless the primaries get particularly bitter and bloody, there’s a good chance Jeb will “Man Up” and support Cruz. It is probably in his long term interest to do so. (Dems will be courting him of course, but they will discard him like a used tissue as soon as they can. Surely he can figure that out.)

To those who claim that the lack of a governorship is disqualifying, I disagree. Obama has been effective for his leftist side with about zero experience at anything (No pun intended.) Governorships are hardly the training ground now needed on the international scene. Additional, it is my opinion, that we are past the point of needing effective legislation gambits or efficient administration of already bloated programs. We need “Big Picture” leadership and education or we’re done. (I’m not anti-Walker, either. It’s just wrong, however, to say that Cruz can’t do it because he wasn’t a governor.)

1988 is why papa Bush didn't turn Reagan down in 1980.

But I hope your right about Jeb enthusiastically supporting the nominee.
