Brer Rabbit giving campaign advice.

[headstamp 2]

“Not that they have much say in the matter,”

Yeah right, open primaries and a scumbag media. They have plenty of say in the matter.

[gorush]

"...if it were up to Democrats, they would like to see Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on the presidential ticket to face their nominee."

Uh oh...I agree with Democrats. I'm conflicted.

[ChessExpert]

Al Gore wanted Ronald Reagan to get the 1980 nomination, as he thought he would be easy to beat.

[FatherofFive]

Not that they have much say in the matter, but if it were up to Democrats, they would like to see Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on the presidential ticket to face their nominee.

The first correct Democrat decision in 50 years!

[struggle]

Bring it....

[Hugh the Scot]

(mic drop.)

[MrB]

Exactly.

The demonstrable winning route IS to be a “hard liner”,
as in, asserting conservative principles as superior,
and explaining why.

[CPT Clay]

give them what they want.

[Diogenesis]

The miserable FOX “News” continues its antiConservative,
antiConstitution, and antiCruz campaign.

[mtrott]

Yeah, OK dems. Be careful what you wish for, as they say. Despite his Hispanic connections and family, Bush will be EASY for the dems to paint as this rich, patrician, privileged, white dude, who doesn’t care about “people like us”.

[txrefugee]

The Democrats are probably donating to Jeb’s campaign, too. Close all open GOP primaries, because the Democrats will be voting for Jeb, the Thad Cochran strategy. That’s how the GOPe cheaters eliminate conservatives.

[peyton randolph]

Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch: an Aussie who married a Chinese communist, supports Hillary Clinton, and likes Jeb Bush.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

OH YEAH! BUSH HAS THEM LIBERALS CRAPPING IN THEIR PANTS! SEE, SEE WE GOTTA VOTE FOR JEBBERS!!

WHO’S GOT THE BUSH PING LIST?

[ExTxMarine]

This is less to do with Cruz’ supposedly far-right stances and much more to do with the Bush name and the easy pushover that the mushy middle Jeb will be for the Dems!!

DNC, media, pundits, etc... all swore Reagan couldn’t win! He was WAY TOO conservative!!

[Junk Silver]

If the Democrats love Jeb Bush so much why don’t they nominate him on their ticket? We don’t want him and he’s completely compatible with their platform.

In the meantime let’s all beg those rascally Democrats not to ruin our chances by voting for Cruz in open primaries. “Oh please, please - don’t throw us in the Cruz patch - anything but that!!!”

[The_Victor]

Democrats hope to face hard-liner Cruz and not Latino-friendly Bush

What's funny is Cruz IS Latino, and Bush is not.

But for the record:

-- If Romney had won 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, he still would have lost. If he'd gotten just 4 percent more of the white vote, he would have won.

"Latino-friendly" is not the path to victory.

[texhenry]

I hope they get their wish. :)

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They are so lying.

“Please, please don’t throw me in the Briar Patch” says Brer Rabbit. But when thrown in the Briar Patch, “Ha ha, I was born and raised in the Briar Patch...”

[COBOL2Java]

According to a survey of more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers, former members and strategists conducted by The Hill, Democrats believe that Cruz – a fiercely conservative Texan known for pushing buttons both in and outside of the Beltway – would alienate independent voters along with forcing liberals to the polls and give Hillary Clinton, or whoever is the Democratic nominee, the best shot at winning the presidency.

"That's what I've been telling you Republicans!"

[bigbob]

Sure, they know the RNC funding machine will never get cranked up to 11 for Cruz
