if it’s Jeb vs Hillary then I’d expect someone with money, like Donald Trump, to run and get a Ross Perot sized percentage of the vote .... Jeb vs Hillary 2016 race is just begging for a big name, big money, big ego person to get in...it’s an easy sell for a 3rd party guy...”you really want another Clinton or Bush?”

and of course that all leads to a Hillary landslide ....and the final and complete destruction of Jeb and the fam....

No, it would lead to a Hillary plurality, the OPPOSITE of a landslide. A third-party bid like Perot's would protect us from any landslide for a leftist.

The so-called "popularity" of Bill Clinton was and is a MEDIA MYTH, because both times he was elected, the "landslide" was in the opposite direction -- a clear majority of Americans opposed him. It AIDED conservative elements in the Republican party. Most Americans opposed Clinton BOTH TIMES he was elected, thanks to Perot and the LACK of "landslide." We can only hope that the same would happen with Hillary. It would be a lot better than a real majority landslide for a functional leftist like Romney. That would be MUCH more dangerous, destructive, and poisonous.

I voted for a plurality in 2012, and if the GOP nominates, as it probably will, another functional Democrat in 2012, I will once again vote for a plurality. Because landslides for functional leftists are very, very ill advised.
