Democrats hope for Ted Cruz, but fear Jeb Bush.
The Hill surveyed Democratic lawmakers, former members and strategists, and found they are rooting for Cruz to win the Republican presidential nomination. Jeb Bush, meanwhile, is the 2016 candidate Democrats fear the most. Why Cruz? Democrats think the Texas senator, a conservative firebrand, would alienate independent voters, propel liberals to the polls and give their party the best shot at picking up congressional seats in next years election. Bush, meanwhile, would be a tougher opponent since he is a former governor from a political dynasty who can raise hundreds of millions of dollars and appeal more strongly to women and independent voters.
Im listening: Hillary Clinton is bringing what the New York Times calls a wonkish intensity to her campaign events as she gets re-involved in domestic politics after her stint as secretary of state. Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democrats presidential nomination, is clearly most comfortable devising and thinking about policy, and that has given her a way to interact with voters. The Times writes there isnt a lot of I-feel-your-pain hugging at campaign events, but the former first lady arrives at roundtables armed with specific data points.

Reverse psychology.
The Dhimmicraps always claim to be scared of the one they really want Republicans to nominate, and vice versa. Remember how they couldn’t wait to run against Reagan?
So: Democrats root for Jeb Bush to win Republican nomination (fear Ted Cruz)
No one has ever fallen for it, its just meant to provide cover for the GOPe: "Sure he's not the most conservative, but Jeb can WIN, doncha know"
methinks thou doth protest too much
Be careful what you wish for!
Just as long as they don’t throw us into the briar patch, it’ll be OK.
Reverse-reverse psychology has been added to their repertoire of tricks, apparently.
[ Reverse psychology. ]

Brer Rabbit tactic. Ted Cruz is their nightmare and Jeb is their dream opposition.
Big BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly.
A visual representation of what they’re trying to do.
Democrats root for Ted Cruz to win Republican nomination (Supposedly fear Jeb Bush)

Yeah, well Operation Chaos was to root for Obama (like he ever had a chance) and not Hillary who was the heir apparent.
How’d THAT work out?
The performance of nominal Republicans in the House and Senate present the Democrats with their best shot at picking up seats in 2016. I expect them to get a majority in the House and, well, I don’t know what the percentages are of Republican seats to Democrat seats up for election. I expect the Democrats to keep all their own and to win a big percentage of the contested Republican seats. Millions of welfare receiving newly ex-illegal citizens proclaimed by fiat will ensure that whatever Democrat is nominated will be the next President. I expect a total Democrat Congress and Presidency and, soon enough, Supreme Court after 2016.
Why Cruz? Democrats think the Texas senator, a conservative firebrand, would alienate independent voters, propel liberals to the polls and give their party the best shot at picking up congressional seats in next years election.”
I “think” this might actually be true.
But I don’t care. Still with Cruz.
It “might” also be the case that there are even more conservatives out there who will show up for Cruz.
I don’t pretend to know. But the days of calculation have to end. Because it has gotten us nowhere.
BS! They want bush!
Hey, as long as a “poll” was conducted, this has to be true. / end sarcasm
Rats fear that the Jebster may beat H! for the Rat nomination.
