Jeb Bush: A Republican should run against Trump in 2020
Washington Examiner ^ | 03-15-19 | Caitlin Yilek

Posted on 03/15/2019 8:26:34 AM PDT by McQ444

President Trump’s former primary rival Jeb Bush called on a Republican candidate to challenge the president in the 2020 GOP nomination because the party “ought to be a given a choice." "I think someone should run. Just because Republicans ought to be given a choice," said Bush in an interview with former Obama adviser David Axelrod, which is set to air Saturday on CNN. Bush, who served as Florida’s governor from 1999-2007, acknowledged a Republican opponent’s chances of beating Trump in 2020 will be an uphill climb because “he has a strong, loyal base.”

I hope that Jeb does run in 2020, just to watch him and his rotten family humiliated by a percentage of votes in the low single digits during the GOP primaries.

So far only Bill Weld has signed up for the challenge, and is most likely slated for about 1/10 of 1% of the Republican primary vote. Bill Kristol has said that he may run too, no doubt for a whopping 1/100 of a single percentage point share of the vote. So there's definitely a niche for Jeb to fill here.

“he has a strong, loyal base.”
The Bush Family rule is defiantly in effect.
“Pissing off your base is NOT a winning strategy”

He’s hoping Mittens or Rafael will notice him and offer him a job.

I guess this globalist idiot who’s PAC took millions illegally from China is tired of massaging his “pocket turtle”. What an absolute weak-sister nitwit. The bush family is a plague on Free America.

July 2016 Washington Post

>>For what he spent per delegate, Jeb Bush could have bought 24 Trump Tower apartments
The final tally of votes that actually count — those of the delegates — we reported as follows:

Trump, 1,725
Ted Cruz, 475
John Kasich, 120
Marco Rubio, 114
Ben Carson, 7
Jeb Bush, 3
Rand Paul, 2
Ben Carson got more than twice as many delegates as Jeb Bush — a fact that would have been the second-most surprising thing you could have told people about that list 500 days ago.

STFU Jeb. I wish Trump would start his own Party and we’d all leave the spineless, rudderless, soulless Party the GOP has become.

These idiots just don’t get it.

The future is a choice between Trump Populism or AOC Democratic Socialism. We will NOT be going back to the days of Bush-era Chamber of Commerce Republicanism.

Simply too few voters exist who still support that.

The 12 Republican Senators, Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Beachball Conway — these RINO Never Trumpers are really delusional. They have no idea what’s really going on.

¡YEB! has never been a primary anything, except perhaps the primary butt of the old “G.W.’s dumber brother” joke in the early two thousands.

I don’t know about that. I already see the GOP kapos trying to justify GOP behavior in the Age of Trump and preparing us for the next GOP plantation conservative to support. I would guess only about 1/3 of the GOP base if that is prepared to go MAD on the GOP. Normalcy bias reigns.

Yeb! just wants the completion of his daddy’s Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

Whatever it takes to block the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.

That has been the primary purpose of the GOP for 30 years.
