LBJ was easily the most vile scumbag ever to occupy the WH.

Maybe Jeb should just run as a Democrat or on Hillary’s ticket.

If Jeb loses the Republican primary, expect a Hillary/Jeb “unity Democrat Ticket”

You beat me to it, Mark my words, having Jeb on with Hillary is the only chance in hell Hillary has of winning in 2016....
