The problem is that Bush, supported by all sorts of corrupt money, is going to make the other primary candidates burn up a pile of money dealing with him, money that really should be spent going up against whatever Communist gets nominated by the Rats. And given the rigged primary system that has controlled the GOP nomination the last two elections, it’s going to take a lot more effort than if it were a fair race.
Excellent points. You’re absolutely right. Damn.
That’s my main worry: Bush will spend a huge sum of money deionizing his chief primary opponent(s) over the airwaves for all voters to see. If he gets the nod, there’s no way he wins the general. If his opponent gets the nod, then the nominee’s reputation has been dragged through the mud in public and easily defined as the “extreme” choice when compared to mushy-middle Jeb.
It’s almost as though Jeb has entered the race as a favor to his friends, the Clintons. Too damn convenient.
Fratricide has in recent history proven to be a graver danger to the better-than-establishment crowd.
Just as Romney did.
