Run, Jeb, run.
I mean it, despite two powerful arguments against a presidential run by Jeb Bush one specific to the former Florida governor, one more generic.

I like the other Bush men and women, not this one.

Editing in some truth makes the article more readable, although much less supportive of Jeb Bush:
The thought of a Republican Democrat or Democrat-lite (RINO) president makes me shudder, largely because of the irreparable harm to the Supreme Court. Legislative and regulatory mistakes can be fixed, albeit at enormous cost and difficulty. (Think George W. Bushs tax cuts Obamacare.) Foreign policy blunders are harder to repair. (Think George W. Bushs war Obama's blunders with ISIS in Iraq and Syria.)

No I do not believe he has a chance. I will raise hell with the RNC if they back his ass.

The RINO party does not want to win any election.
PROOF: McLame, Romney, Bush.
How in the #311 could there be a WORSE candidate than McLame?

You didn’t read that the way it was meant.
With another Leftist-selected, weak RINO in the race ... ANY (and I mean ANY) Liberal criminal can easily win.

“Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.”
With his accomplice GWB.
With the support of a good deal of alleged freepers here.

Reason #1. It is the Washington Post and any Democrat could beat a Bush. Especially a Clinton. And most especially the Clinton whose chest Dimbulb Jeb pinned a medal on.

The NYT ran a front page story Jeb Bush running for president earlier this week. Now the Washington Post is endorsing Jeb Bush.
These newspapers hate conservatives and hate America. They will do anything to keep liberal democrats in power.
The fact they are promoting Jeb Bush makes me hope he doesn't run.
To: C19fan
It’s Ruth Marcus.
She knows that Bush running will divide the GOP, with Conservatives walking away in drove, better than anything else.
And a divided GOP can’t effectively counter the agenda of HER party and ideological fellow travellers.

Obama backed the Muslim Bros in Egypt, plus add all the ones his boss VJ has in the WH for policy meetings. Next our Clown in Chief toppled Khadafi and his country formed ISIS with him dead. Zero created ISIS all by himself. He did zip in Syria when the time was right. He threatened them not to do this and that. They did-he did zip. The entire world is laughing at us.

_________ Post. LOL
Wow, I think Republicans should listen to every word and do just what they say. /s
The Post is denigrating our first president by using his family name without permission. It is insulting, disrespectful, and vile. (Redskins nod)

If Jeb runs, I might just boycott the whole ballot for the first time since Jimmuh Carter.
To: Responsibility2nd
They figure the RINOs will self destruct each other and leave Cruz as the victor. Risky business. Reminds me of Rush's strategy back in 2008: Rush encouraged conservatives to vote for Obama in the early dem primaries, as a way to gum things up for Hillary. Well, that sure worked out well.

I am not looking at any McCain, Romney, nor anyone like them. I believe we will find a sharp businessman gets in the race after seeing things change enough. Hell the Dems are walking out on Obama now. This country is getting damn tired of Zero.

Basically, if liberals don’t run shrieking and screaming from your candidate like he/she is Godzilla, you have the wrong candidate.
