"Jeb’s candidacy—emphasizing “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” and “Common Core” education standards—was anathema to many on the right, but the proliferation of conservative candidates enabled Jeb to power through to the nomination."

Which is why Ted Cruz needs to win the nomination early.

This is the problem I have been trying to point out for years; the RINOs run one candidate and we run many all of whom beat each other up and divide up the money. The RINO sails to the nomination; then looses.

This is why we want to encourage lots of RINOs to run, maybe even send them some money early on.

Part of his success was a deliberate indirection as to his intentions.

There's been a lot of that since 1992.

I have a real hard time imagining the American public electing Jeb Bush as President. I know the saying goes something like "no one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of Americans", but come on, people are sick of the Bush family.

May the person that concocted this ‘fluidic euphoric midnight invention of self-ecstasy’ (children, ask yo’ daddy), never see the day that he proscribed, in this anethemous vile.

Praising ‘common core’???? It’s Communist indoctrination to stupify the next generations.

Spanish as a ‘secone legitimate language’??? I’d make darn sure to live long enough to ‘water the daisies of that fool’s marker’!

Jeb, his father’s preference, would have been the Republican nominee in 2000, but for the little smuggling problem his not so clever wife had going through customs.

We need a sub-primary to counter the GOPe preselection of candidates to send El Jefe Jebbie packing. Otherwise we get to vote for bad choice #1 or bad choice #2.

My husband and I were talking about this last night. It was rather grim.

And by the time his two terms were completed, Jeb’s Spanish-speaking half-Mexican son was groomed and primed to continue the Bush dynasty and run for his turn at the presidency. Grandma Barbara was pleased.

It all depends who the big dog/MSM wants to run.

Maybe if we had elections like “dances with the stars” has someone might care.

at the point of going real Galt, you all deal with it.

The secret to our eventual success is in that one sentence you posted Jim.

We need to make sure as many Moderates are in the running for POTUS as possible.

This is a depressing dystopian future history, but it’s believable. If there’s a bright spot, it’s that it still speaks of the presence of a USA, however changed.

Even worse outcomes could be imagined. As Obama would like to someday say, “Black is the new white.” Jeb’s only 3/4 crazy.

I just think people are so tired of the Clinton and Bush dynasties. We can’t somehow do any better, or different? Really?

Not even discussing their awful politics. Just enough of the “kardashian” presidents.

I don't know what they are smoking, but I only know of only one or two potential "at their core" Conservatives on the horizon today.

After his father's and brother's performance in the White House, this guy will NEVER get my vote.

Just install the Democrat already. I won't play the RINO game one more time. Zilch! Nominate this guy, and I'll tune back in to a presidential ticket in the 2019 run up to 2020.

So is everyone going to stay home on election day if Bush is the candidate and enable other 4 years of advancing the Liberal agenda for our country?
