Bush has big money and big influence invested in him. They are carefully preparing us all for his inevitability much like they did with Romney the last time around. I think they’re in for a rude awakening this time though. I don’t think there’s enough money to influence this primary election the way they want it influenced.

Note to Bush: enjoy the media gushing and fawning now, if you do get the nomination that type of coverage will do a complete 180 in less than a second.

It's CRUZ ... or LOSE !

I'm for Ted Cruz but why put Cruz and lose in the same sentence?

If our candidate doesn't get the nomination, you say piaps is your next choice?

IF our candidate in the General is NOT Ted Cruz, then WE LOSE !

You should hear Trevor Loudon and his recommendation to Ted Cruz and how he should go ahead and name his ENTIRE TEAM now, and run on AS A TEAM.
For instance, he recommends John Bolton as Secretary of State, Rand Paul as Secretary of the Treasury; and he had other great recommendations for Ted Cruz.

The RNC are experts at nominating the least liked candidate, Jebster is this rounds designated loser.

They don’t care if they lose.

As long as we can’t elect a President who will stop the invasion.

The Cheap Labor Express has paid for an amnesty candidate and the RNC means to deliver.

Save it FRinos, I’m not voting for a cheap labor importer and no, it is not a vote for anyone else if I choose not to vote for the Democrat in an R jersey.

Didn’t they make money selling perverted “art” for a while?

I was speaking to an organizer when he brought up the fact that there weren’t any Democratic candidates at the event. “The Democrats really blew an opportunity here,” he said. “Like that Maryland guy…what’s his name? “O’Malley,” I replied. “Yeah, Martin O’Malley! What if he had been here the past couple weeks, visiting farms, talking with equipment dealers, seed guys, and then come and talk with Bruce in front of everyone? Boom, Hillary has her email problems, and he’s the Dem on top!”

Yeah, that's the ticket! Lil'Marty for Prez! He's done so much for our state!

Who’s funding Salon these days?

The same people that keep funding Joan Walsh's facelifts.

They have been Palinitizing Cruz and Walker and knocked out the doctor (he dared to say something negative about Homos). Looks like they are trying to shove Jebster down our throats the way they did Mittens and McCain. When Jeb fails they will tap the Fat man of new Jersy for the Job (he’s Obama’s Best Friend, you know). They want someone Warren can beat in the election. Hillary is out—too toxic (by her own bad choices) and too old for the job. (Maybe as VP?) So they will settle on Elizabeth Warren—(shes a woman you know—and a Liberal/Progressive) Its going to be an interesting year.

As a former Walker voter, I would choose Cruz over Walker. I’m already grassrooting campaigning for him in Wisconsin and Alabama. Anybody else grassroot campaigning for him in other states?

Democrats wanted to run against McCain in 2008.

Democrats wanted to run against Romney in 2012.

Democrats want to run against Jeb Bush in 2016.

Hmmm.....

Could there be a “pattern” here?

Look for more Dems to “cross-over” to vote for Jeb where there are “open” primaries.

Indeed, the Old New Left and their running dogs always telegraph whom they fear.

Does Free Republic Campaigning for CRUZ count?

Good point. When will the Republican Party ever stop this idiocy?

Well, I did vote for Walker, so I have valuable, first-hand knowledge of being a Cheesehead Conservative under a Walker governorship. I will be able to offer a detailed analysis of what a Walker presidency would be like. More importantly, my support for Cruz will highlight the differences between the two men.

and let’s face it, the Bush brand is badly damaged in America. What the he** are they thinking with this? That he’s going to be able to reach across party lines and get votes from democrats? riiight. sure he is. because the left will certainly rush to embrace the Bush brand.

They will love Jeb right brought the primaries. Then he will be to the right of Cruz in the national.

Just have Cruz as the nominee and cut out the middleman.

Never. It’s part of how they nominate the designated loser.
They want an amnesty candidate same as the last two elections. To get one against the wishes of most of their voters they have to rig the calendar so that the nominee is chosen before most get the chance to vote.
