Report: Jeb Bush Asks McCain For Advice On Not Pandering To Conservatives

The Daily Caller ^ | 12/12/2014 | Alex Pappas

[Maceman]

‘I think if you look back, despite the far right’s complaints, it is the centrist that wins the nomination,’” Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, said he told Mr. Bush.

And loses the general election.

[a fool in paradise]

Try not to say “you people” and especially don’t call conservatives “wacko birds” or “hobbits”.

[Paladin2]

Well, this will be fun going forward....

[Jim Robinson]

The GOPers will never learn.

[Rusty0604]

The only reason I could find to vote for him was Sara Palin.

[Paladin2]

Again and again and again(2016).....

[VRWC For Truth]

The stoopid party raises the white flag.

[Balding_Eagle]

Yes, I’m enjoying this a lot.

[trisham]

Not really.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

McCain is no centrist. But he is a loser.

“I just said to him, ‘I think if you look back, despite the far right’s complaints, it is the centrist that wins the nomination,’” Mr. McCain

...

Win the nomination with the help of the strong arm tactics of the GOPe, and then lose the general against one of the worst Democrats, ever. Both McCain and Romney are experts at that.

If you want to win, look to Reagan, not McCain. He won two landslides for president.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Simple solution for Jebbie: run as a Democrat.

[Zathras]

If you have to go to McCain for advice, you clearly don’t know what you are doing.

[Moonman62]

The stoopid party raises the white flag.

...

Not stupid, but corrupt as all get out. They’d rather have big government and graft under the Democrats, than to win with a smaller and more honest government platform.

[muir_redwoods]

Who better to ask than Juan?

[353FMG]

Why should they want to?

The GOPe is nothing but RAT Lite, but this time served in a fancy stein instead of a paper cup.

[TADSLOS]

“SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP” worked for McStooge.

[txrefugee]

LOL....so Jeb asks the old loser for advice as to how not to win the presidency? That would be stupid...but then they do call it the “Stupid Party.”

[DoughtyOne]

And of course McCain sees himself as a centrist.

McCain is in a position to contaminate any new politician that comes along. Arizona, we tried to warn you. Now we all have to deal with this guy and the people he turns.

The only reason I could find to vote for him was Sara Palin.

Interesting. I like Sarah Palin but I do not like that she endorsed this decrepit POS. I have voiced that here on FR but it was argued by many that she had little if any affect on his reelection. Given your above statement, I have to wonder how many others voted for him ONLY because of SP.
