Joe Scarborough has a warning for conservatives: going after Jeb Bush will make him more likely to run for president.
According to Scarborough, speaking on today's Morning Joe, Jeb is "his mother's son," "kind of "cranky" and "rough around the edges." If conservatives think they will drive Jeb out of the race by attacking him, "they've got him played exactly backwards." To the contrary, conservative attacks will make Jeb more likely to run "to prove them wrong."

RUN JEB RUN!!
Dilute the RINO field. Let all the Rinos run against Cruz.
He’s made it pretty clear that he doesn’t care what conservatives think.
I’m guessing he’s pleased as punch at all the progressive precedents Obama has set for him to follow as president.
Amen brother.
the spin is thick already.
I agree with those ladies.
Jebbie isn’t deciding whether to run based on polling data or principle.
He’s lining up the big buck donors whose interests he cares most about. Once he’s squeezed all the juice he can from them (so as to limit his serious competition), he’ll announce his candidacy.
If anyone thinks the GOPe or the RATe works any differently, they are seriously deluded.
So his advise for us is to just lie back, close our eyes and think of Reagan will the GOPe has its way with us.
The one useful possibility is that Christie will run even if Bushney is in it and will use the same strategy of lying low in the earlies, then Bushney and Christie go at each others throats.
If the conservative candidates could all take a lesson from the Reagan run and refrain from attacking each other perhaps the outcome would be more favorable. I am not optimistic on that score either. Bush has already tied up most of the available money and will use it in a storm of attack ads against whoever stands taller among the crowd of conservatives.
At this point I see no future for conservatives in the Washington Party. The Republican iteration of that party is realy the Bush Family Party now, anyway. Perhaps God will choose a different outcome, but I believe we have to truly hit bottom before that might happen.
All these guys make money by running for Pres. They get to keep whatever they don’t use. Multimillionaires overnight. Every year this Republican primary situation gets worse. Iowa, New Hampshire, open primaries so the Dems can vote the candidate they want for us. Here in TX we never get any choice for who the candidate is — its is already decided and that is the plan.
So let’s NOT attack him then!... that’ll show him!!
It’s like the scene in Monty Python Holy Grail “Perhaps if we run away some more...”
and he works where?
..msNBC (mainly a toilet/sewer) of the Gov't
media propaganda complex
Who cares. Bush is a loser.
This kind of liberal theory is like, “don't call them terrorist, they might get mad at us!”
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
Where oh where did Jeb go wrong? He was by and large a very good governor. I can point at a couple poor decisions, but overall, he was a good conservative and had his head on right. Now, he’s literally letting non-sense spew out about common core, the party base and virtually everything else.
Scarborough is a fraud Conservative—never liked the guy.
I loathe the Bushes too....
