And I think the situation will be so bad that Jeb will handily beat whoever the Democrats put up, leading the GOPe to think their philosophies were right all along and solving nothing in the long term.
That was the *thought* in this election w/Romney- I think you are stuck on what does NOT work.
Nope. Jeb Bush is absolutely unelectable. He won't win. Mark my words, because they will come true as inevitably as the same words I proclaimed for Romney, McCain, Dole, and GHWBII.
Even moreso, because I do believe there will be a 3rd party alternative by then. The GOP is on life support, and they don't even know it, not to mention knowing why.
