‘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.

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.

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.

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.

Who better to ask than Juan?

[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.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

I will no longer pander to RINOs by voting for one - nor pretend they are anything other than Democrats...

[Jagdgewehr]

What arrogance.

[Yogafist]

"The two issues most commonly mentioned as potential problems for Bush with the base: immigration and Common Core."

They are not popular with most Americans. Is Jeb going to try to win running against the American people?

[InterceptPoint]

The story notes that Bush seems to be leaning towards running, but has no desire to change some of his political positions to win over the party’s base.

Dear Jeb: There is an easy solution to your dilemma - just challenge Hillary for the Democrap nomination. No pandering required. Perfect.

[Williams]

As many know, I always say vote for the republican against Hilary or Obama, etc.

However, I think these people (Jeb, McCain, etc.) are absolutely out of their minds viewing the Reagan Republicans and for that matter, the majority of American people, as a “problem”. For this preposterous attitude, they can go to hell.

What do they even have to offer a deeply troubled America, except more of the same? I think they are out of their minds.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Pathetic.
