I guess Americans just aren’t interested in electing a “Joyful Turtle” to lead them.

Yebbie was only inevitable because the left wing media wanted him because he was guaranteed to lose. The media would still be plugging him, but mean old Trump has them distracted

The GOP is just not getting the message. You have two outsiders (Trump and Carson) running numbers 1 and 2 in virtually every poll so far this summer with the establishment candidates, especially Jebbie, way, way behind.
Yet they still appear to be devising a way to get their "chosen one" Jebbie the nomination?
Are they tone deaf? Are they just looking to elect another Democrat in 2016? Don't they understand that another Bush has almost zero appeal with the rank and file Republican?
It's at the point now where I think they hold the people in utter contempt. We've given them control of Congress and they have yet to do anything conservative. They continue to give us presidential nominees who are not only not conservative but awful candidates.

Trump has thrown a monkey wrench in the GOPe strategy of flooding
the race with fake conservatives and RINO’s.(except Cruz)
It has backfired on them big time.

Nicest way of saying it: Jeb’s policies are simply not what the country needs now.
To: SamAdams76
Good point. Neither front-runners have ever held an elected office - that is a signal we are sick of the GOPe ineffectiveness.

Worse, Trump polls better than Hillary while Jeb doesn't. Even the blind can see the evil that is the GOPe.

The GOP has always dreamed of the day they would not have to be burdened by the base of their own party.
This year they thought they could finally break free of them and compete with the democrats for the voters they believe really matter.
Its looking like they were a bit premature.
Under no circumstances will I ever vote for an establishment candidate again.

“But he certainly doesnt have the same air of inevitability that Mitt Romney had in 2012.”
All Hermann Cain had to do was tell the Establishmentistas to piss off. Instead he dropped out.

The “logic” about Romney was he would win NH, MI, FL and NV.
It wasn’t even close.
Right now, Jeb wouldn’t even win FL.

Romney. Air of inevitability?
Mr. Wong is wrong on that!
Recall the litany of frontrunners: Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum. There was no
air of inevitability for Romney, except that the primaries were stacked against anyone but the GOPSelectee. Nearly all of the southern states had their primaries weeks after the so-called SuperTuesday.
==
This week, the Romney camp has been rattling that Mitt might try again. This time, Mitt might find that another run was truly a waste of his time and money.
What could Romney 2016 bring that he didn't have in 2012? Maybe Crowley's transcript?

If America needs a mexican president, then he should be a real mexican not an impersonator. We already have a fake black _resident who came out of a white woman’s womb...or so they say.
If I wanted to vote for a mexican president, I’d move to mexico.

It continues to amaze me that these big-money donors don’t realize the simple truth: Jeb Bush is simply a bad candidate. They should have realized, for starters, that nobody wants three members of the same family being President. It’s ridiculous right off the top. They should also have realized, very early, that Jeb just doesn’t have the personality to put himself above the herd. There is no reason to vote for him except as a last resort, a vote against someone even worse.
It’s ONLY the media that keeps Jeb propped up, and that’s because he has lots of advertising dollars, and they want them before he fizzles out. The media relies on political advertising to fatten their dwindling coffers — especially since in most cases political advertising has to be paid for UP FRONT.
And here we let the media host debates and form the narrative. It’s a MASSIVE conflict of interest we don’t talk enough about.

...
And Romney still lost to the worst candidate, ever.
