As the political winds are turning to presidential politics in 2016, now is the time for Republicans to start thinking about their ticket. I know it's early, but the top of the Democratic ticket has already been pretty much decided by the mainstream media. It's Hillary and whoever she wants as her veep.
For the Republicans, they will need someone at the top of the ticket who is principled. He'll keep his campaign promises. He must have an economic issue that will resonate with women because men already support the GOP. Women — especially independent women — are the holy grail of a winning national campaign.
In my opinion, it can't be someone from the far right, the Tea Party.

That means Jeb Bush as the presidential nominee and either Scott Walker or Chris Christie as the vice-presidential candidate.
Many will say there is Bush fatigue. Many will say that Christie is not conservative enough. But Christie can attract Northeastern Republicans and Democrats — voters the GOP will need in 2016.

“Stay out of the Bushes”
The Karl Rove Wing of the Republican Party can kiss my a$$ no more friggin Moderates!!!
Pretty sure the answer is no.
Who are the fools putting forth this BS? The MSM and RINOs? Everyone I talk to wants a strong, no nonsense, no BS Conservative with spine, guts, and cajones.
Jebby will not run either.
If Jeb Bush is the best candidate the GOP can field, looks like I’ll be staying home or voting third party.
No bushing way
The country’s had enough Bushes, Clintons, and Kennedy’s to last a few lifetimes. No more. We’re sick of name recognition being the only qualification for office...
Barney “Fife” Bishop, someone take away his bullet
From 1952 to 2008 with one exception (1964) there was either a Nixon, a Dole or a Bush on the Republican national ticket. Then we lost with McCain (the runner up in 2000) and Romney (the runner up in 2008).
THERE ARE OTHER REPUBLICANS OUT THERE YOU KNOW!!!
We don’t need another retread or establishment name or worthless moderate to continue the oligarchy!
No bush!!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Perhaps he is the best for the Dims and other Progressives.
This sounds like a satirical article. NOBODY is voting for another Bush.
Christie was Jebbie’s stalking horse. Not anymore.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
same side of the same RINO coin. No way no how
