Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has an obvious route to the GOP nomination: get the more moderate Republicans who voted for John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 behind him this time.
Bush, like McCain and Romney, is the kind of wealthy, establishment, conservative-but-not-too conservative figure the Republican Party traditionally nominates.
Bush's father and brother also both won the party's nomination, but those are not great analogies to 2016. George H. Bush was the obvious heir apparent, as the sitting vice-president in 1988. During George W. Bush's 2000 primary, the GOP was not as divided as it is today between its traditional and Tea Party wings.
McCain and Romney are much different men, but they won in the same way. Each lost in the deeply-conservative Iowa caucuses, but carried moderate New Hampshire. They lost in states full of evangelicals and very conservative voters like Alabama and Georgia but offset those defeats with wins in blue states like Illinois and Florida....

FUNBC
Bush wins. America loses.
I’ll say over and over.
What GALL for a family to think they can run for president every eight years!!!
They are NWO in bed with the Sauds. Wont get fooled a fourth time.
And why weren’t dems called out for voting for an extremist?
Like I said, if jeb wins the nomination, then my interest in the election is over. As is the cuontry.
Yep. I’ll sit my @ss home.......like they care.
We know this also. So stop the flood of Bush articles. Nobody's buying it.
McCain and Romney won the nomination, but neither won the general election,which is the vote that counts. Obviously the Party learned nothing from those failures.
Who says they wanted to win? McCain’s taking a knee was obvious.
Yep! In cahoots.
We've had a bellyful of losers.
Gotta say the liberal media is way hotter for Jeb than for Hillary. It was literally exploding with glee upon Jeb’s announcement, all day. That says it all to me.
Taking a knee is the best description I've heard of that farce of a campaign.
He took a dive so obvious it would embarrass Sonny Liston.
Funny, I don’t recall the media portraying and treating McCain or Romney as “moderates”
At least after they got the nomination.
Win precisely what?
The chance to lose to Hillary?
As much as the Bush and Clinton dynasty believes they are the shoeins. They need their base to win.
Clinton is losing to Sanders
Bush is losing to one of many candidates.
Ain’t gonna happen.
That’s right. All in the family ya know, according to stupid Barbara Bush.
Bush will lose 45 states if he gets the nomination. I will actively work to discourage people from voting.
Is America so devoid of qualified, talented and freedom loving people that we HAVE to elect retreads?? If so, we really ARE DOOMED!!
Amen!! Dont go away mad guys, just go away!!
The good thing is she is DEFINITELY beatable. Barely holding on in swing states already and republican candidates aren’t even well known.
There is no wonder boy from Kenya to save them this time.
