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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Why Jeb Bush is Likely to Win the Republican Nomination"

Because the GOP likes to pick losers.

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.

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.

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

With no votes cast, there is no clear front runner.

we will see about that...

The TEA party is fed up with this.

I think if the GOP forces him on us then Palin will run Independent and I will put 100% of my free time and extra cash into getting her elected

The Cheap Labor Express has paid the GOP millions, if not billions for amnesty.
That’s why Bush is going to be the nominee.
They don’t care if they lose.
They just don’t want us to be able to elect a President who would enforce the laws and secure the border.

The Cheap Labor Express must keep running.
