Jeb Bush just formed a 2016 exploratory.

[robertwerden]

Lets hope he draws all the fire and burns out before Iowa.

 

[robertwerden]

Sing with me (the tune is EMF's unbelievable)

Oh!
What the?
What the fuck was that?
You think that you're entitled
you're a Democrat in disguise
you're pushing common core on us
and you think 2 plus 2 is 5
You say to me its an act of love
Hispanic pandering, you're a fool
Why not offer real solutions
that Clinton can't shoot through
And waist you
The things, you say
your family name just loses the game
The things, you say
you're unelectable

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

He's got money, backing and name recognition despite having the Bush label. He'll try to stick it out. Unlike Paul, the higher-ups of the GOP would actually support Bush.

Jeb Bush makes first step in launching presidential campaign

According to the post, Bush will establish a political action committee in January to help “facilitate conversations with citizens across America to discuss the most critical challenges facing our exceptional nation” and “support leaders, ideas and policies that will expand opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.”

Should Bush receive the GOP's nod, then the 2016 election may potentially repeat history, in a way: although she has yet to officially announce as much, Hillary Clinton, the wife of former president Bill Clinton, is being considered a possible Democratic Party top contendor.

According to a poll conducted last month by NBC and the Wall Street Journal, 26 percent of potential voters said they viewed Bush in a positive light, to 33 percent who viewed him negatively.

Bush vs. Clinton

where have I heard this before?

 

[donnay]

He should explore some place like Paraguay.

 

[CPUd]

What he really means is he will be doing polls to see how many votes he can expect to lose because of his last name, considering his brother still hasn't appeared in person to speak at the RNC.

 

[Warlord]

Dick Cheney to appear at the RNC to introduce him! Party like it's 2001 how to lose an election by the GOP

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

BLOOMBERG NEWS has been running the JEB BUSH vs. Hillary or Warren... ALL DAY LONG.

That propagandist political scumbag Mark Halprin has been pushing Jeb Bush and he even has their(BLOOMBERG) own poll out already:

37% JEB BUSH
20% UNSURE

Bloomberg ex MSNBC hack Mark Halprin, "Clearly Jeb Bush is the strongest candidate in the GOP field"


I shit you not, that was Halprin's statement and the poll they showed on the screen!

LOL JEB has zero personality and nationwide appeal

Bush vs. Clinton

where have I heard this before?

Since 1980, the year GBI was elected VP...there has been a Bush or Clinton in power except for the years when Hillary resigned from her Sec of State position (Feb. 2013) -- less than 24 months out of 34 years.

Haven't we had enough?

 

[Matt Collins]

Jeb is most likely to win against Rand, so he should be taken very seriously.

 

[Working Poor]

No More Bush/Clinton/Cheney

 

[Indy Vidual]

Let Jeb lose to Hillary. Maybe Rand would be a lot better running in 2020 after the economy crashes.

 

[dannno]

He should explore some place like Paraguay.

I know another place he can go exploring.

Which is truly sad, considering he is more likable, relative to the other Bushes. The personality/appeal the others are in the negative zone.

LOL the news cycle isn''t even over and they are moving on to Rubio:

Washington (CNN) -- Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is on track to run for President in 2016 even if Jeb Bush also jumps into the race, a source close to Rubio says.

The source told CNN that a Bush candidacy -- increasingly likely after the former Florida governor said in a Facebook post Tuesday that he will "actively explore" running -- changes the dynamics of the race "but not Marco's thought process."

Rubio has invited supporters to a Jan. 23-24 retreat in Miami Beach, where his top aides and donors could formalize his plans for 2016.

A run for president would be a big risk for Rubio, a 43-year-old former Florida House speaker who looks like a sure bet to win a second term in the Senate in 2016.

He's making the moves of a presidential contender. Rubio campaigned with GOP candidates in the 2014 midterm election. He has a memoir set for release in January. And he's working with incoming House Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to craft health care legislation meant to be an alternative to Obamacare.

He's also been increasingly vocal on foreign policy issues -- potentially setting up a clash with leading Republican contenders like Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who has called for less U.S. intervention overseas.

Rubio, though, would share one problem with Bush: He's championed an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, a position that has fallen out of favor with much of the GOP base.

"Jeb Bush is a great guy on education!" No he's not. He supports Common Core, which isn't popular with either side. It's the biggest flip-flop on education I've ever seen, even comparable to another once-Florida Governor Charlie Crist.

"Jeb Bush will support our troops!!!" No he won't. He'll send them into more military conflicts in the world, and rack up more dead.

"Jeb Bush kept unemployment steady in Florida as Governor!" No he didn't. Stats showed that, statewide, unemployment shot up in his first term as governor to almost 6%, before resettling down to 4% (still higher than what he came in with).

"Jeb Bush believes in small government!" No he doesn't. He raised the Florida budget, as Governor, more than $20 BILLION. Think about all that money.

"Jeb Bush believes in lower taxes!" No he doesn't. You have to come up with $20 billion for your states budget somehow.

"Okay... well, Jeb Bush at least cares about the Constitution!" No he doesn't. He helped to implement REAL ID in Florida, which basically has been giving Floridians a National ID Card, as well as sending biometric information to the Federal Government to be stored in databases by the DHS. How is that Constitutional?

Jeb Bush. Terrible as Governor. Traitor to the beliefs of his party.

As for Rubio:

LOL the news cycle isn''t even over and they are moving on to Rubio:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/16/politics/rubio-on-track-for-2016-run/index.html

Exactly. No one really cares about Marco. He pissed a lot of people in Florida off with his immigration plans. My expectation is that we may see someone, who actually believes in the constitution run, and possibly put up a good challenge. As for President, he'll get no where.

The extremely obvious tilt of this coverage is: the GOP lost Florida and Ohio in the last two elections, so let's nominate a guy from Florida to prevent that from happening in 2016. By extension, pick Gov. Kasich from Ohio for Vice President, and they'll recover Ohio as well. Expect a lot of talk about a Bush/Kasich or Rubio/Kasich ticket by the pundits.

Both are people I really do not want to see running. Those are terrible pairs, no matter how you mix it up. But yeah, I did sense that.
