(99,711 posts)IMHO, while he's going after the same voters he doesn't have enough juice to beat Jeb or even take anough voters away from him to hurt him.

(17,997 posts)As horrible as they all are another bush in the white house. .. I cringe just thinking about it
(I have such a bad joke in my head but it's too bad to share)

(99,711 posts)A lot of Republicans believe Jeb is a RIN0 because he's pro Common Core and nominally pro immigration. That being said, imho, they will see that he represents their best chance of recapturing the White House and he will win the nomination.

(17,997 posts)That's it. I've said it before, and meant it when I said it, but no going back on this. He wins the election and I am outta here. He's nuttier and dumber than his brother.
I love that Michael Shiavo is speaking against him. What jebro did to that man and his wife is unspeakable. Horrific.

(99,711 posts)I don't believe he can win but that's different than believing I can't think of scenarios where he could and that is by doing much better among Latinos than a generic Republican.

(17,997 posts)But absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. I never thought bush one or two had a prayer. Certainly not 2 the second time.

(99,711 posts)The fact he speaks idiomatic Spanish, has a Latino wife and family, and is nominally pro immigration gives me some pause. That being said there is still a lot of Bush fatigue.
The other clowns; Huckabee, Paul, Cruz, Christie, Walker, Carson, et cetera don't scare me at all.
As an aside one of the reasons George Walker Bush was elected and re-elected was because he was able to mitigate his losses among Latino voters.

(14,177 posts)It has to be Jeb. Half way or probably sooner through his campaign he will have us all saying "George is the smart one? Who knew?"
