Jeb Bush: Republicans Don't Need Conservatives to Win White House, Should Not Defund Exec Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | Dec. 2, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 12/02/2014 4:13:39 PM PST by EternalVigilance

Even though moderate Republican candidates lose presidential elections without the conservative base (see: George H.W. Bush '92, Bob Dole '96, John McCain '08, Mitt Romney '12), former Florida Governor and potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush thinks conservatives are not needed to win the White House.

Bush believes that a presidential candidate who is "willing to lose the primary to win the general" has the best shot at the White House.

*snip*

Should Bush run, his embrace of comprehensive amnesty legislation and Common Core will put him at odds with conservative voters in the early primary states.

Jeb says he doesn't need my vote, so don't you ever tell me to hold my nose and vote for that liberal bastard. I won't.

BEFORE THE GOP NOMINATION:

"Now Jeb, that's the guy conservatives need to get behind. He's electable and can reach out to the middle. Boy, let me tell ya, Jeb is THE one candidate that Hillary fears."

AFTER THE GOP NOMINATION:

"Jeb Bush is too far to the right; America doesn't want to elect another Bush! He's gonna get us killed in wars and he's just SO EXTREME!"

It used to be said that "Communists were simply Liberals in a hurry."

Today it can now be said that "Obamanistas are simply RINOs in a hurry."

Is he the one with the Mexican wife? Could he actually be so henpecked that he’d campaign on an illegal alien platform?

Ya know, some people just can’t handle success, the republican leadership. Pretty sad to see them attempting mass SUICIDE just so those angry conservatives don’t get their way. You know the people that Gave them this Majority!!

Because the people pushing for a world government are hedging their bets and buying politicians from both parties.

Because Hillary is too far to the Right for the Democratic Party base, I would expect Bernie Sanders to run as the nominee of the New Socialist Party. That would split the Democrats.

Because Jeb Bush is too far to the Left for the Republican Party base, I would expect Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul or Sarah Palin to run as the nominee of the New Federalist Party, which would be a fine name for the Tea Party movement with special resonance from early American history. That would split the Republicans.

That would set up 2016 as a parallel to the 1860 4-way election, with two new parties to eventually replace the two old parties. Either one party would win enough electoral votes with 35-40% of the popular vote, or the election would end up in the House according to the rules of the 12th Amendment.

Jeb’s wife must have improved her smuggling skills, and this time succeeded in getting some sort of mind warping drug for Jeb - no other explanation covers his statement.

It could be done. Our Constitution doesn’t mention parties, much less sanction them. And the Electoral College system will work just dandy without them.

Shoot, that’s what I’ve been trying to bring about for the last two presidential cycles. I feel exactly the same way about McCain and Romney as I do about Jeb Bush.

If he flipped to Democrat he could easily beat Hilarity.

If two new parties are to emerge on the Left and Right, the party building and money raising needs to begin today. The Tea Party structure is in place to start the ball rolling. That gives the Right an advantage because the Left doesn't have the Occupy Wall Street structure in viable condition.

The Republican Establishment has made its decision clear, so there is no need to pretend that they will let a genuine conservative gain the nomination.

If Jeb were to run outside of the GOP it would have only one purpose and that would be to stick a knife of division in the GOP to purposely favor his dad’s latest good friend - Billary.

I’ve overheard a lot of females say they want Romney to run “because he looks sooo presidential.” We have far greater problems with an ignorant imbecilic electorate in this country, than we do with any of the proposed candidates.
