Time For A Jeb Bush Thread!

Jeb seems to be getting ready to go for it, so lets see what we're dealing with here:

It seems like he has a Willard Mitt Romney problem!

 

Uh, huh.

Jeb would wipe the floor with any of the potential D candidates.

I giggle with anticipation.

 

Maybe he does, but the biggest asset Jeb Bush has is he can deliver Florida to the Republicans. Florida's 29 electoral votes are a must, without them the Republicans lose. It is really that simple.

 

Did we forget this is the same loser who said we have to open our 'hearts' to illegal immigrants? We'd want to elect him, WHY exactly? I'd sooner throw my vote to Elizabeth Warren. At best, her profile evolves as she takes some major policy positions and/or she's a lame duck(Like OCrapo)

Illegal Immigration is NOT up for negotiation. A mass Nationalization process would be far more difficult(Whether 11 million or 20 millon) today then it was in 1986. How would this benefit the economy? We don't need more workers, we need more jobs.

No to the Bush/Clinton FAIL dynasty, give us a real leader.

 

What is really depressing is that there isn't a great candidate on either side of the isle.

 

I'd expect Jeb as President to be every bit the standup guy he was as Governor when Terri Schiavo was murdered in broad daylight with judicial approval.

 

Why do we want a brother of War criminal in office?? Is he gonna attack Iraq again to get even. Better yet what is he gonna do when he is handed a report saying " Terrorist might fly planes into a building. My guess is he will blame Cuba and attack them.

 

Cough! Cough! Red lines in the shifting sands and I WILL take care of the nuclear weapons issue between the United States and Iran!

 

Please, Jeb, don't do it

 

A Jeb Bush presidency would be the best thing for American - Latin American relations.

Lord knows Obama - Baby Bush have given Latin America to the Chinese and Russians.

If you want to work the Nicaraguan Canal, study Mandarin!

Then he would just have win some of the other 49 states which might prove difficult.

 

Presidential Election 2016 Poll Predictions: Hillary Clinton Defeats Potential GOP Candidates, But Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan Challenge Her Lead

Don't be so sure

 

Bovine excrement! You can't murder someone who is already dead.

 

He wouldn't make it past the GOP Primaries on his immigration stance alone.

 

There is just something about this guy:


That reminds me of this guy:

 

And a Dubya problem. As Jebby 'Illegal Immigration is an Act of Love' Bush endeavours to redeem the family name, the appearance of familial tolerance would necessitate freeing his hapless sibling from the NRC's strict campaign quarantine. He'd have to be released from that tent in New Jersey or wherever their witless protection programme has placed him, and that would induce a fetid nostalgia, indeed - Revert with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear: eight years of Bush resulting in a total economic collapse whilst mired in a fraudulently-pretexted, multi-trillion dollar nation-building fiasco.

Contrast that evocation with the nation at peace amidst an unprecedented fiscal surplus that had been bequeathed to the Dub by a guy named Clinton.

Ah, what's in a politically-redolent name?

About now, there's another guy besides Willard who hasn't held a political office since seeing out the old year of 2006 who's wishing that his were Huckabee.

 

How Can He Do It.....despite how loathed he is by the Base?


Simple....all Jeb needs is MONEY....and he needs 4-5-6 "pure conservative/Tea Party" opponents in the GOP Primaries to split the vote of the "pure conservative/Tea Party" Republican primary voters.

He then wins on "pluralities"....and if a "pure conservative" candidate (or any candidate) starts to "get too close" (A primary win or a tight 2nd place)?.....he uses the MONEY to buy tons of negative TV ads and swamps them.

IOW....do exactly what Mitt Romney did to Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in 2012....with help from Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain.

Jeb's even got similar substitutes.....he's got Rand Paul as a stupider version of Ron Paul....he's got Ben Carson as a crazier version of Herman Cain.....and he's got Ted Cruz as a less masculine version of Michele Bachmann.

And he'll have Rick "Oops" Perry helping him out...as Perry did for Romney in 2012.

 

Potential GOP candidates, what about the real one? I guess there is someone in the GOP horizon which could defeat Mrs Clinton ...

 

Turtle McConnell's allegiance to the moneyed elite (who share control of the GOP with media entertainers) insures that the TPs will continue to be "crushed" by the establishment toffs as he had boasted, certainly in the choice of a presidential nominee. The TPs will inevitably snivel, but after their tantrum, they'll fall in line and do as they're told.

Whether that's hold their noses and settle for Landslide Willard or Jebby "Brother Load" Bush is of little consequence. The alienated kvetchers will spew their bile about the Democratic candidate rather than work up any enthusiasm for her sacrificial opponent.

 

1. Yes....this past GOP Primary Season proved that the Tea Partyers have been muzzled and leashed and are tied up in the backyard of Reince Priebus's house. They'll BARK a lot...but the Owners have them heeled.

2. The GOP is in a box. They need a Moderate who can talk "nicely" about Latinos...otherwise they have no shot at winning in November 2016. But their Base HATES moderates and wants to ship anybody whose last name ends in "-ez" back to Mexico and build a Berlin Wall with machine gun nests on the Rio Grande.

 

A Jebby or the Rube could swig taquilla and cut a sprightly folklórico whilst intoning a medley of Cinco de Mayo ditties on the Capitol's steps, but nothing happening inside will draw the attention.

Some now wish to forget about the "amnesty" that Reagan championed and signed into law, or the "amnesty" that the Bush pushed but failed to pass, but the American people still support their policy.

(Whether they accorded the same approval to Ronald Reagan or George H.W. Bush when they issued their executive orders to extend amnesty to family members who were not covered by Reagan's 1986 general amnesty may have been a different matter.)

In any event, that was now then, and this is now now, and now will be then later, one hopes.

​

(Of course, Reagan's approval stunk at this stage of his tenure as well, but Reagan had exploded the national debt to nearly $3 trillion after the 192 years before Reagan had seen it reach $1 trillion. (Irresponsible tax cuts, radically ramped-up defense spending, and utter failure to reduce the size of government will do that every time, doncha know?)

By the summer of 1992, a USA Today/Gallup poll found that just 24% of Americans said their country was better off because of the Reagan years, with 40% saying it was worse off. Reagan’s own favorable rating had fallen to 46% — making him significantly less popular than Jimmy Carter, whose favorable score was at 63% at the time.)​

So, what will the Repub-run 114th Congress have to offer in the way of the desperately-needed comprehensive immigration reform?

Maybe they should just re-package their "amnesty" as "The Righteous Resurrected Ronald Reagan Resolution Redux" and continue to ignore that Regrettable Reagan Reality Record.

 

And there is more. Much, much more

 

I don't think so. States that have gone Republican in the last 4 presidential elections and have given the Republican nominee at least a 5% or better margin of victory in each election amount to 191 electoral votes. Those states are not going to go Democratic in 2016 no matter whom the nominee is. I call these states Republican Trustworthy states. Add Florida to those and Jeb Bush would be at 220 with 270 needed to win. Keep in mind McCain only carried those trustworthy states, 191 and Romney was only to add one more, North Carolina to make his total 206.

So Jeb Bush just by adding Florida would do better than the last two presidential candidates the GOP has chosen in the electoral college.

 

I'm more conservative than Jeb, and a lot of my conservative friends think Jeb is a traitor, but I don't. His immigration stance can be modified so the border can be sealed, I believe. He will have to give a bit on that issue, and I believe he's smart enough to do so.

Jeb will likely not be my first choice in the nominating process, but he is likely to win if nominated. He would be far superior to any of the scummy dims!

 

He's obviously smart enough to promise anything that he thinks will get him elected. How that makes him an attractive candidate in the eyes of anyone who has even an inkiling of peril that faces this country is a mystery.

Will he indeed? I wonder.
