CNN/ORC Poll: Bush surges to 2016 GOP frontrunner

[cajuncocoa]

This is disturbing. Top story on Drudge right now.

Washington (CNN) -- Jeb Bush is the clear Republican presidential frontrunner, surging to the front of the potential GOP pack following his announcement that he's "actively exploring" a bid, a new CNN/ORC poll found.

He takes nearly one-quarter — 23% — of Republicans surveyed in the new nationwide poll, putting him 10 points ahead of his closest competitor, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who tallied 13%.

Physician Ben Carson comes in third, with 7% support, and Sen. Rand Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are both tied for fourth with 6%.

Hillary vs. Jeb. Big Brother does have a sense of humor.

The establishment has a message for the peons, the mundanes and the average American: "go f*** yourselves".

If you want to call it humor go ahead.

Trouble is, I have to suffer as well.

Oh well, just so long as they keep Mutt out of the mix.

How is this poll even possible? No republican I know has ever even heard of the guy. I don't know a single thing favoring him aside from having the Florida vote.

Jeb Bush will likely be our next President since opponents of the oligarchs fail to have the media apparatus in place to combat their media apparatus. If Foxnews and the MSM want Jeb Bush it will be Jeb Bush. People never learn.

How was this not obvious to everyone when it was so clear cut way back in 2007 prior to New Hampshire with McCain flat broke almost having to sell his bus, down in the polls and Ron up in the polls flush with cash. Yet Foxnews and the media shut Ron out of the debates, coverage and out right campaigned for McCain to win NH.

How many cycles if ever will it take for people to wake up to that reality of the media landscape in this country.

The MSM wants Jeb and it will be Jeb. Just like they wanted Romney, McCain and Bush. Each cycle I watch the disbelief and how no one wants the candidate the media is pushing yet they always succeed since the herd follows whomever the media supports.

That really is amazing given that he hasn't exactly gotten great press from conservative media.

And the big problem is he is not like Rick Perry. Perry polled well early because people didn't realize how dumb he was. I watched a Hoover Institution interview last year and was very impressed with Jeb Bush. He is polished, well spoken, can raise a ton of money, and has really thought through the issues. He comes across as bright and studious. I think he would suck on the issues as President and I would not vote for him under any circumstances, but it is clear he is in the best position to win.

Rand really has to step his game up across the board. At this point Rand looks like a very good college athlete going against professional All-Stars. He needs to get serious and focused ASAP.

Win.

Lose.

It's all the same to the ruling class.

This "election" stuff is just kabuki theater for Boobus, to keep him from running amok.

Jeb's last name is Bush hopefully even some of the most stupid know that it means more mayhem. I think Rand ought to run independent and see what happens he has just as good a chance and maybe better than trying to run a republican campaign.
