Jeb Bush has edge on wide-open 2016 GOP field: poll

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has a small lead over Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in a new national poll on the possible 2016 GOP presidential field.

Mr. Bush is the choice of 13 percent of Republican voters in the Monmouth University poll, followed by Mr. Cruz and Mr. Walker at 11 percent apiece. Mr. Cruz officially launched a bid for the White House last month.

Jeb has the same backers as Romney had... However Jeb is a Democrat and should run as such. The one who raises the most $$$ gets elected... that is “democracy”...

WE LIVE IN A BANANA REPUBLIC... WAKE UP

Disturbing that they think he is a conservative!

[Jeff Chandler]

Name recognition. He’ll be toast after a few ads exposing his liberal views.

The leftist media still pushing the loser Bush. No thanks.

No thanks to all pro-amnesty candidates.

I tried to read this post but can’t because it is not in Spaniglish which is going to be the new language in America in 20 years. I know ONE illegal with 7 kids bred from 3 illegal females. The math is simple.

13 percent. Had me scared for second.

The Bushes need to re-tire and take their friends the Clintonians with them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeb Bush’s success lies in the fact that conservative votes will be split in so many way (as in 2012 with candidates who have no chance, i.e. Santorum, Bachmann) that Bush may pull it out. That is what he is counting on.

I confess to being partial to the idea that Jeb Bush should change to a Democrat and then he and Hillary can determine who should run for President and who for “VEEP.”

[alloysteel]

More money and more name recognition - neither one of which is a certainty factor in the upcoming scramble.

And nobody has to “expose” Jeb Bush’s liberal slant, it is there for all to see, should they bother to look. We were fooled with George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, into thinking that they somehow represented “conservative” values, as with “A Thousand Points of Light” and “Compassionate Conservatism”, supposedly volunteer organizations, but given quasi-governmental powers and backed by the “full faith and credit” of the Federal government. This is growth of government by stealth.

Liberals/new world order are pushing hard to get their man Jeb Bush on the ticket. That is a hedge on their bet if Hillary is not elected.

[leopardseal]

Jeb Bush for president is a non starter.

[libstripper]

Just look at the polls in IA, NH, and SC. Walker’s beating Jebbie in all three. If that holds there’s a good chance of WaLker pretty much running the table thereafter.

This is so bogus. Jeb probably has a ceiling of 20% or so Republican supporters. The plan (as with GWB) was to have a stranglehold on the money so nobody can mount a campaign against him.

God Bless Ted Cruz for not letting that happen!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

13%? A pimple.

[factoryrat]

Jeb has the CofC, the illegal alien lobby, and the free traitor crowd backing him. Cruz and Walker have Americans backing them.

[Vendome]

He has something small but, it sure isn’t a lead...

[ZULU]

Screw you and the horse you rode in on.I WILL vote 3rd party if that bastard is nominated. I swear it.
