The media is reporting that Jeb Bush has a huge and an unassailable lead in fund-raising. Opponents of Jeb will be drowned by oceans of money. I can understand why Mitt Romney is not running against Jeb. Most of his buddies at the exclusive country clubs have settled for Jeb.

The vast majority of Tea Partiers cannot afford exclusive country club memberships. But they can console themselves by recognizing that, even RINO Republican Presidents have a good record of delivering excellent Supreme Court Justices. If the Democrats were to control the Supreme Court from 2016 to 2024, life would be unbearable for patriotic Americans.

I call bull crap. Souter and Roberts were great SC Justices? And, what family put those two clowns on the Court?

If Jeb is the nominee, it is indeed OVER for our nation. I’ve thought that we are already past the point-of-no-return, but if he wins the nomination, it is certain - regardless of who wins the Presidency.

The GOP leaders are worse than the Dems.

I will not vote for Jeb Bush under any circumstances, period.

I will not vote for a GOP-e candidate under any circumstances, period.

I hope to vote for Cruz, period.

I would say Jeb Bush is highly unlikely to win the GOP nomination. He has no grass roots support to speak of. The conservative base will never go for him. He can raise and spend a billion dollars but if he does not get the votes he’s toast.

Jeb is likely a one debate pony. He will be eviscerated by the likes of Cruz, Paul, Perry and Walker in the first debate. His ideas on immigration and Common Core just beg for artillery fire.

I love how the media told us he was the likely front-runner. They have picked their loser.

If he’s the nominee, I will not be voting for a republican presidential candidate in the election. I will only offer my middle finger to the GOPe, liberals, and the media.

"But they can console themselves by recognizing that, even RINO Republican Presidents have a good record of delivering excellent Supreme Court Justices."........................................................................................ RINOs and Republicans. You're stuttering. The homo-friendly federal district judges that the GOP rolled-over for: the "nuclear option," when the GOPers are in power; a darned fine thing when they are not. They are now overturning the states' legislatures and the will of their people by edict, by Order, like their Boss. .... You're suggesting that the GOP-e is our champion, Why, they're straining at the bit, pulling on the ropes in the ring, eager to get after the socialist "No justice, no peace! We're from the govt. and we're here to help" freaks? That's great stuff Pinochet! But as far as reality, what have they done since the first of the year but blow smoke at those of us who voted for them? Fave it, GOP-e lickspittle, you may find this "painful and upsetting", but they are now the govt. They are now the problem. Here's your: Go get your shine box photo: Shine Box Shinebox-Small.jpg

If Jeb Bush wins the nomination, he will have to win the general election without my vote.

Like Earl Warren, William Brennan, Harry Blackmun (who wrote Roe vs. Wade), David Souter, etc.

Jeb has been turning into a Democrat for a long time now. He doesn’t need my vote or money to complete his journey. It would be a waste anyhow. A Jeb primary win will mean a Hillary, or other Democrat win in the general. Maybe Jeb could be Hillary’s VP pick. He wouldn’t be any worse than Gore. ...As long as we are making picks on the least damage they will do scale, Jeb as a VP for a Democrat makes sense.

The only thing Al Sharpton ever said that made sense “stay out of da bushes!”
I recognize that your premise might be right.
Republicans are dumb and usually nominate the next “big gov’t country club” ella in line.
Me, I’m for Ted Cruz. Had his bumper sticker for 2 years. Now I’m equivocating. I can now accept either Cruz/Walker or Walker/Cruz, noone else

The conservative base will turn out in huge numbers for Cruz, especially if he is endorsed by Sarh Palin.

No offense but your article is full of class envy and unmerited Catholic arrogance

Even though yes organizational and money wise Bush has best chance

One could also claim Fox News Matt Drudge and WSJ editorial page have chosen last two GOP losers to a degree

They sure stopped Newt last go around

I have to disagree with your premise. Jeb has more donor support at this point, he appears to have the current nod of the gope, but he has little genuine support. His last name will work against him big time, plus his positions will gain him zero votes from most who vote in the primaries. He is neither telegenic, nor a great speaker or debator. Because of all these problems, donor support is likely to evaporate the longer he is in the race. He can easily flame out early.

If Jeb gets the nomination, there will be no point in voting for President. The country will not elect a third Bush, and that’s it, regardless of his stances on anything. The media doesn’t even need to do any work if he gets the nomination; they did all they needed during his brother’s administration. All they need to do is ensure he gets the nomination, and they can go on vacation until after the election.
