Once again, the MSM is teaming up with the GOP to make sure we have an unelectable candidate. Everyone knows its Hillary's turn to be president, just like last time it was time to have a black president to right all the wrongs with race relations.

Everyone knows that another Bush can't possibly win, no matter what he says or does.

Part of the Democrat narrative is that the GOP has moved very far to the right, driven there by extremists.

This article, without realizing it, illustrates why that narrative is a lie. GHW Bush, cited, succeeded Reagan in part because of his “Read my lips, no new taxes” pledge. When he broke it, his base rebelled and he was punished for it by being kicked out of office. Which was nearly 25 years ago.

The reason why GHW Bush had to make that pledge was because in 1980 he’d run in the GOP primaries as the next successor to the Liberal policies of Richard Nixon. Which the near victory of Reagan over Ford in the 1976 primaries and his actual victory in 1980 represented an explicit rejection of.

As to Reagan, yes he raised taxes. But because he was already well defined as a fiscal conservative, and indeed emplaced as the leader of the Conservative Movement, his actions in that regard were seen and accepted as tactical in nature to support victory on Conservative principles on a strategic level.

So, iow, the writer if this piece has zero idea of what they’re talking about.

Jeb Bush will HAVE no success without the “far Right.” Unless he courts the lib vote, which RINOs have been known to do.

Before I give this piece any attention I'd want a detailed account of how the author defines *far* right and,once given that account I'd want to research the author's background.

Until then I'm suspicious of Mr Brandus,his motives and his political leanings for having used such an explosive term in the heading of his piece.

I do not fear his success. I will not be vested in his failure. He will not get my vote. I will vote for any one else, including romney again, but not jb

Jeb Bush success means electoral failure.

"$1 in new taxes for every $10 in spending cuts."

Ha, ha. I'll just counter offer that I'll take $8 in spending cuts and no increase in taxes. See, I'm willing to compromise.

I don't know what the 'far right' is other than conservatives/libertarians/populists that liberals fear will take their votes.

I identify myself as a mainstream American and I fear Jeb Bush's success, because it success for Jeb Bush and not success for America, for our Constitution, for Liberty or for much of anything else. If Jeb is elected, my screwing continues that I've had under Dubya, Clinton and H.W.

We need a change in direction, as restoration of America. I don't see where Jeb Bush fits into the restoration.
