If it’s not Jeb, I guess I’m going with Chris Christie (at least that’s what I think today)

I just finished reading Eli Stokols and Marc Caputo dispiriting report about the Jeb Bush campaign and how many staffers and top level donors – even those still committed to the former Florida governor – recognize the campaign is in a death spiral.

I genuinely don’t want to believe that. Counterintuitively, I still believe there is a possibility Bush can pull out of this tailspin. And even if he doesn’t, there’s really no shame in remaining committed to a man who did great things for Florida and is, especially since the terrorist attacks in Paris, the most sober-minded presidential candidate.

Yet, as much as I want to believe in Bush, I am not putting (any more of) my money in my PredictIt account behind his candidacy. So which horse do I now back?

Obviously, it’s not Donald Trump. As much as I enjoy the circus, I don’t want to live there. Not to get all Alec Baldwin, but if Trump becomes President of the United States, it’s time to move to Australia.

It’s not Ted Cruz, although he’s as likely as any candidate to end up the GOP nominee. But I feel the same way as Frank Bruni: Anybody but Ted Cruz. I don’t like Tea Party. Cruz himself is not likable enough. And if he’s the nominee, too many of my moderate Republican allies down-the-ballot in Florida will be blown away by no-name Democrats....

Christie isn’t the dark horse, he’s the FAT Out of shape BROKEN DOWN NAG, who should be sent to the gkue factory with jebbie and the other RINOs.

jebbie is sitting there with 3% support and insists that he is staying until the bitter end.

Imagine if jebbie was leading and Trump or Cruz had 3%, the media would be demanding they ‘stop wasting everyone’s time’ and GET OUT NOW.

I'm totally pro-Trump, because it's time for a break, you know?

After Obama, what objection could possibly be made to Trump ????

Neither one, Christie nor Jeb are conservatives.
Both are worthless RINOs

If Bush would only choose Linsey Graham as his running mate they could combine their forces and become viable. 3 or 4% would put the fear of God in Donald Trump.

What a pathetic loser. “I don’t like the Tea Party”. And why is that? It’s probably too scary to actually stand up and oppose the deterioration of Western Civilization at the hands of radical leftists, SJWs, and illegal immigrants. This is exactly the type of wimp that is looking for someone to, to borrow from PM Thatcher, manage the decline of our nation. This guy is the definition of a cuck. Trump/Cruz/Carson are too scary for him. It’s better to get someone that the MSM says good things about (of course this will change once the primary is over, the next day will be headlines like, “These Tricky Times Call For A Woman’s Delicate Touch... Hillary”), someone that is an insider, someone that will politely beg the Democrats to lower taxes a little bit in exchange for accepting hundreds of thousands of refugees, instituting carbon regulations, and banning more types of guns... etc etc

Ah yes.
A song sung by a pedophile who is now wiling away his last year’s in an Australian jail.

Perfect for this guy.

I didn't know that about that guy who sang that song.  (That's the only Australian song I know of.)

Maybe this Bush-supporter should be forced to listen to "Crocodile Rock" for the rest of his life down there.

I saw Bush’s commercial against Islamic terrorism and it was excellent. He should have launched his campaign with it; that he did not illustrates the difference between him and Trump. I like Bush and would vote for him if he were the nominee. I will not vote for him in the primary. This is not a year for typical Republican politicians. Trump changed that; I don’t need to know exactly what Trump will do; I weigh him against the other politicians, doctor, and businesswoman (losing Senate candidate) and find him a more likely fighter (except for Cruz) and more likely victor (I think Cruz would lose because too many American voters will not consider him). He is the only candidate not asking me for money (really resonates). I will vote for the Republican nominee against Hillary, Biden or Sanders.
