"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Wonder why Huffington Post refused to poll Ted Cruz this time?

Opinions of Jeb have risen as Republicans may see that he is not the scary man eater and game changer he was made out to be. His halting speech delivery make him appear humbler than he was portrayed in that barrage of stories indicating that he was/is silently a heartless money vacuum who was cutting off all the funding of other candidates and who was probably assuming the sale way (for the nomination) to early. While that is all true, his personality has made him appear un-intimidating.

Jeb has proven to be tolerable now, in most polling, and I think that is the reason for his raised polling numbers.

I think however there is a chance Jeb will be thought boring when placed side by side with more personally talented competitors. In the same way Rand Paul has lost his initial glow of unique-ness among an increasingly interesting field, Jeb and Rand don’t look very intimidating. They may not even wear well. It’s a long campaign.

Rand Paul no longer corners the Republican market, as the unique and interesting candidate. Not now with Carson, and Cruz, and Walker coming in. Never mind Trumps-It.

I think Jeb will possibly put the party to sleep over time.
