CRUZ or lose.

Glenn Beck suspects that Mitt Romney bowing out of the 2016 presidential race might be the result of a secret deal between him and Jeb Bush, to avoid the risk of both of them attacking each other and fighting for the same supporters while someone like Ted Cruz can capitalize on a split vote like that.
Remember that secret meeting Romney and Bush had this month? Well, Beck figured that was about both men admitting they would “kill each other” and could both lose to the race to a more conservative candidate. And Beck admitted it bothers him that Bush “clearly went” and cut a deal with Romney.
What the deal is, he’s not sure, be it a VP slot or Cabinet position, but Beck made it clear, “I really don’t like Jeb Bush for a variety of reasons.”

Bush/Romney ticket in the works?
Two old white men against Hillary or Fauxcohantas and a Latin running mate? Suicidal.
Being a lifelong Floridian..., I found Jeb to be a good Governor. That said..., regardless of credentials..., I am firmly opposed to "Dynasty Candidates" regardless of their party affiliation!
Conservatives just have to be twice as smart. We need to support a single candidate who can win.
Mitt Romney, for all his political faults, is still a highly successful man. I’m not discounting the fact that a deal may have been made, but I have a hard time seeing Mitt Romney being an “errand boy” VP for anyone even for a fellow RINO like Bush. Besides, if Glenn Beck is saying something you need to take it with reservations.
Well... that's it folks, the GOPe will push Bush on us, and he will lose to Hillary.
guaranteed.
Jeb can NOT beat Hillary. Actually Jeb, might be the only person in America that couldn't beat Hillary.
Much like Romney was probably the only person who could have lost to Obama in 2012. Like Romney did for Obama, Bush completely negates all of Hillary's negatives.
It's unbelievable. I am now convinced the GOP wants desperately to lose.
Yes, that was my first thought.
Yep.
Pretty much. Wonder what nefarious deal Romney worked out with Jeb Bush. It would be great if some of the potential conservative candidates worked out a deal whereby they left the field open for Ted Cruz. However, Ted Cruz will win with or without such a deal.
Romney will endorse Jeb, that is for sure.
Oh, he'll go ahead alright, all the way to the GOP convention. November, not so much...
The fact that they met in person a week ago leads me to believe that something is up, but is Beck on to what it actually is?
Indeed, Slick Willy will block for her highness while Bush brothers will say nothing and stay mum, except for attacking conservatives and alienating the base, that is.
One reason Obama is not impeached is because of the Bush, by the way, because Bush Sr was against seeing his office dragged like this, his resume.
Depending on how you look at it, this is good or bad for Jeb.
I think the one thing Jeb does not want is a two-man race between him and Cruz. He will want others, like Christie in the race to try to draw attention away from Cruz.
So again, Romney backs off, ‘because it’s Jeb’s turn now’???
That son of a seacook can go to Newgrange, taking his Common Core, his Immigration, and his dynastic heritage with him, to that place!
Wonder what Cabinet position Mitt was offered?
"Bush/Romney"
Yeah, that is what will happen if we cannot change the standard game plan. We gave it a good shot in the midterm.
I suppose it is largely dependent on the Conservative wing and the tea party fiscal conservatives ability to convince the GOP that "this time the rout will be even bigger".
We have a little less than two years to do it.
