Joe Scarborough has a warning for conservatives: going after Jeb Bush will make him more likely to run for president.
According to Scarborough, speaking on today's Morning Joe, Jeb is "his mother's son," "kind of "cranky" and "rough around the edges." If conservatives think they will drive Jeb out of the race by attacking him, "they've got him played exactly backwards." To the contrary, conservative attacks will make Jeb more likely to run "to prove them wrong."

What conservatives say or do will have NO, ZERO, ZIPPO impact on Jeb Bush’s intentions to run. The idea that it does is laughable,
To: P-Marlowe
Yeah, makes you wonder....
They used the “dillution” model to keep conservatives out of the primaries in the last couple of presidential election cycles,
why would they use it on themselves?

Oh please, Jeb feels it is his turn to sit on the throne, where he can make America safe for border crashers. Nothing can change his mind.

He can “run” all he wants to. He will ultimately lose (as RINOs are apt to do).

That seems to be the way of liberals. Show them proof of no support and they charge ahead regardless.

His run has been as inevitable as Hillary Clinton’s.
It was just a matter of when.
==
Obama ran against the Bush name and won 2 terms doing so. The Bush name is still TOXIC.
==
Let Jeb run and get it out of his system. He may even win the nomination, but chances are great that the Dems have sense enough to dump Hillary again in favor of a more favorable candidate. If so, Jeb might have about as must success as Romney had in 2012.
==
A Clinton-Bush match up has the media orgasmic. The media will likely be disappointed when the Dem primaries are over.

All these guys make money by running for Pres.
In 2008, McCain had to use the FED matching funds program because his campaign was broke.
In 2010, McCain 'borrowed' some $20 million from his presidential funds to apply to his Senate re-election.

Carl Cameron, FoxNews reports NEWS ALERT: JEB BUSH IS NOW THE FRONT-RUNNER.
[Doh! He is the only almost-declared candidate. Of course, the media would claim that he is the front-runner.]

Estimates are that the 2016 presidential race will end up costing around $2 billion. That means each major party nominee will need to raise around $1 billion.
No wonder that McConnell tried to sneak in a new funding limit in the recent Budget Bill. They intend to by-pass the commoners and their meager donations in favor of the fat-cat donors.
Presidential elections have become a big money game.

Here in TX we never get any choice for who the candidate is its is already decided and that is the plan.
My state Republican primary is held so late in the spring that the nominee is already determined weeks earlier. It happened in 2008 and 2012.

Perhaps if we run away some more... Very close... But, the actual quote is....
Would it help to confuse him if we ran away more.
Naturally, this is a line from Sir Robin. He was such a wus!

but I believe we have to truly hit bottom before that might happen. I try to not let myself believe this kind of talk. But, I haven't yet convinced myself. :-(

Maybe he thinks Obama’s amnesty voters will get him in.
