Why Jeb Bush is Likely to Win the Republican Nomination

[pinochet]

The media is reporting that Jeb Bush has a huge and an unassailable lead in fund-raising. Opponents of Jeb will be drowned by oceans of money. I can understand why Mitt Romney is not running against Jeb. Most of his buddies at the exclusive country clubs have settled for Jeb.

The vast majority of Tea Partiers cannot afford exclusive country club memberships. But they can console themselves by recognizing that, even RINO Republican Presidents have a good record of delivering excellent Supreme Court Justices. If the Democrats were to control the Supreme Court from 2016 to 2024, life would be unbearable for patriotic Americans.

Because it’s his turn?

[goodnesswins]

Which means a Dem wins the presidency

I’ll be the first to say it. I’m not voting for Jeb. I’ll vote for just about anyone else if needed, just not Jeb.

[Crazieman]

No. No. No. No. Hell no.

The GOP is dumber than rocks.

Bush was “picked” because the MSM
cannot wait to spring Schiavo
and his brother on him, and he
will bring out fewer voters than RomneyCARE.

[fatnotlazy]

Yes, boys and girls, the fix is in.

[showme_the_Glory]

The media wants Jeb. They know that at least 47% will automatically vote against a Republican and they’ll have fun beating down another Bush. Heck, 1/2 the people won’t even notice it’s not George Bush.

All the Democrat media says it will be Jeb v. Hillary, so even a broken-down nag such as Hillary will be able to win this race. The RNC specializes in backing yet another Loser for the GOP..

RE :”Why Jeb Bush is Likely to Win the Republican Nomination,

Right now, the WASP Republican establishment has lined up behind Jeb Bush. Wealthy Republican Catholics have also lined up behind Jeb, because he is the first Catholic (although a convert from Waspish Protestantism) with the best chance to become a Republican President.”

I am sure Maryland GOPs will too, just like they did for Dole, Romney and McCain.

Because the GOP likes to pick losers.

This is not the RNC per se - it’s the donor class and establishment hacks. I’m no fan of the RNC, but this is not their doing.

[jpl]

Yep, because I’m not voting for him under any circumstances.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Jeb winning is the conventional wisdom...inside Washington.....which usually turns out to be false

He is not winning the nomination. I don’t care how much money he’s raised.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The son Bob Dole never had...

[Responsibility2nd]

And see, I’m the opposite.

I’d happily vote for Jeb over Paul, Christie, Mittens, Ryan and the like.

[chris37]

I will definitely vote against him in the general if he does.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

MR pulling out was a huge advantage to JB. The only other major GOPe threat to JB now is Chris Christie.

If you have a dozen or so conservatives running on JB’s right flank, JB could very will the GOP nomination .

That’s how GOPes and RINOs usually win, by divide and conquer.

Movement conservatives’ best chances are when we’re united behind a single candidate such as in 1964 and 1980.

But they can console themselves by recognizing that, even RINO Republican Presidents have a good record of delivering excellent Supreme Court Justices.

That would be consoling only if Jeb had a good chance to become president against Hildebeest. He doesn't.
