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.”

“Jeb Bush: A Republican should run against Trump in 2020”

Gee, Jeb. You’re a Republican, so YOU should run if it’s all that important to you to oppose our President ... You know, the President who stomped he shite out of you, The Republican, the first time around ...

Geee, wonder if little Jebbie would be saying that if he were the president. Just proves once more that Jebbie is a globalist and that he is upset that Trump has slowed the tilt toward globalism/uni-partyism in our country. Give these Rhinos enough time and they out themselves.

We rejected every single one outright except Ted Cruz.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those of us who care about the Constitution rejected Ted Cruz because he is ineligible.

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

As I see it, there are three viable political choices out there, but the two party system obscures the unity of the third.

The first, as you say, is nationalistic populism (Trump supporters).

The second, as you say, is the Far Left - economic socialism combined with social radicalism.

The third is the political establishment, a model of crony capitalism with trade and immigration policies that favor the international elite. Politicians in this category can either pay lip service to conservative social issues to steal votes from nationalist populists (establishment Republicans) or side with the far Left on some social issues while being in bed with Wall Street and Silicon Valley (establishment Democrats). Both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are therefore in the same party in everything but name.

and it would soon go the way of the Vegetarian Party!

We don’t have a parliamentary system. Splitting the GOP is a recipe for conservative government extinction.

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.

If they do that they are gonna get their a*s creamed by the Democrats. Too many voters will stay home, and some borderline Trump supporters may even pull the D lever. The Dems will then quickly take steps to secure their permanent majority and these fools will be permanently SCROOOOOOOD.

My Rule #1 in politics:

Never, ever take advice from a loser ... and Jeb Bush may be the biggest loser on the national political scene in my lifetime.

Hey Yebbie, there is one thing - and one thing only - that Jesse Jackson ever said that makes sense: “Stay out da bushes...!”

I think ole Jeb himself ought to run against the president, it might drive the final nail in the coffin of the “Bush Dynasty.”

They have more of an idea than most voters.
They are steadfastly determined to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced to turn the USA into North Mexico.
The primary purpose of the GOP since GHW Bush has been to block the citizens from stopping it.

“As I see it, there are three viable political choices out there, but the two party system obscures the unity of the third.”

I think I would have voted for Bernie over Bush in 2016. Four years of Bernie and a chance of someone better was a better choice than the best being Bush for 8 years.

I have seen polling of Trump voters in these rust belt states who said that Bernie was their second choice. That is significant. They are voting for Anything BUT Bush-era Chamber of Commerce Republicanism.

If these clowns don’t see that they are sealing their own doom. If they were smart they’d be clinging to Trump like a life preserver.
