(11,464 posts)Jeb can't become President if Mitt/Ryan win.
Even if MItt were impeached, Ryan would then be president.
How and when could Jeb get in?
They need a big electoral lose for Mitt/Ryan to repudiate the right, and then Jeb will come in and get the nomination against Hillary45.
therefore-NO it won't happen this year.
and I am very familiar with Greg.

They aren't going to try, they've been at it to steal this election for 24 months.
Only an incredibly large turnout will prevent it.

(54,256 posts)I'm old enough to remember decent Republicans.
They weren't 'repugs' or 'repukes' back then.
They were the 'loyal opposition'.
Democrats didn't hate Republicans and Republicans didn't hate Democrats.
They had their differences, sure, but at the end of a congress business day they'd gather in one or another legislator's office for drinks and discussion. And that's where a lot of the nation's business really got done. Kentucky bourbon and good Scotch whiskey were probably responsible for much of the progress made in legislative matters.
Compromise wasn't a pejorative.
It seems to me that began to change with Clinton's election.
Repugs were determined to invalidate it.
Gingrich said they impeached Clinton "Because we could."
And then there came the 2000 sElection debacle.
That was a stolen election and no one will ever convince me otherwise.
I also have my suspicions about the 2004 'election'.
Nation wide, the repugs are in the minority.
The only way they can win a national election is by unfair methods.
Lately it's by suppressing Democratic voters.

Duh--even if they lose, they don't want it to look REAL bad... Mittster's little helpers are at it already, you may be sure.
Such a vulnerable "election system"--it's a sad joke to even call it a system.
All the MORE reason to vote.
