That family was up to their necks in running the shadow government long before Prescott was born.

Got any good links on that? Thanks.

Well; Gibbering Jeb will just have to do it without me.
If he winds up being the candidate I will vote for my dog JACK, at least I can trust Jack.

I don’t think you needed the sarcasm tag.
I think the way you made your statement pretty much said it all.

Sorry, but if Jeb is the nominee, I’m out, I’m staying home, I’m done....

I will not partake in any election where a Bush is on the Ballot.

Its insane that the powers that be, after the fiasco’s that were McCain and Romney honestly think this guy is the guy.

No Bushs no Clintons... been there done that... don’t need to do it again.

1. Complacency
2. Overwhelming sense of entitlement
3. GOP Establishment backing
4. Vast amounts of funding from US Chamber of Commerce
5. More complacency

Bush has compared himself to the slow, plodding tortoise in Aesop’s fable.

He got slow and plodding right.

6> Jeb ain’t smart enough to understand he’s out-brained and outgunned. His handlers only tell him a little each day to keep him from being overwhelmed by pesky knowledge.

These people never listen do they? Even if Trump did not exist your Boy is never going to be President. We have told you for the last 7 years that we are not going to vote for or support any more GOPE candidates. You either put someone up that can return to its path or just piss off. If the GOP runs a real life American Conservative we will roll out the votes and put them in office. You run another democrat lite or GOPE candidate and we have no reason to get out of bed on election day......

Jeb is sandbagging the Trumpster.
Jeb is deliberately acting dumb and supporting all the wrong positions to make Trump over-confident.

Don’t what you read in my post that you thought was pro-Bush as the nominee....it was anything but that....

I just stated he was a decent guy, but not a leader....not presidential material....

We agree....No more Bush’s in the White House....

I think, alas, that Kasich has a real shot at it. If not him, then somebody like him - low profile, not very well known outside of his region or his district, if he’s a legislator - but at the same time not any of the perennial candidates who have been running in every election cycle since forever (Huckabee, Christie, Santorum, etc.).

However, like them, the anointed GOP candidate will still be able to talk out of both sides of his mouth...and will lose again.

It’s a pity, because I thought we had some good new blood this time around. But I don’t think any of them has a chance, between the Trump show (which has sucked all attention away from the others and is being gleefully encouraged by the Dem press, btw) and the clear desire of the GOP to find somebody who is cast in the Bush, Huckabee, Christie mold without actually being any of them. I wish I were more optimistic.

it’s difficult to see how anyone is nominated.

that said...I’ll predict it is either Trump or Cruz.

Definitely could be totally wrong, however!!
