Jeb Bush just formed a 2016 exploratory.

[cajuncocoa]

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

There won't be anything left by 2020.

He should explore some place like Paraguay.

What did Paraguayans do to deserve such a thing?

 

[KEEF]

I know another place he can go exploring.

Like here...

He'd beat Rand in the primary, but I kind of doubt he could beat Hillary. Rand probably would have a better chance in the general, Rand would run to the left of Hillary.

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?

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

LETS MAKE MOVES

The more Establishment joke candidates the better. They will split the anti-freedom vote and give Rand Paul a bigger win.

While intuitive, it doesn't always work that way (2007, 2012 for example)

Wittingly, or unwittingly, he's a rabbit. In running, this is the guy who can run fast for a short time, but is not expected to win the race. He will jump out to an early lead and push the pace for about 2/3 of the distance. Then he drops back, or drops out.

Bush is the media's rabbit. The media needed someone to push the pace so the other hopefuls will spend a lot of time and money early in the race. This benefits the media in two ways: 1)They will have something to talk or write about for the next two years, and B) the ones who take the bait will exhaust their financial and emotional capital. They will be break the bank and bore the voters. The media is counting on that.

Bush is good-looking, quotable, married to a Latina, and speaks Spanish. His son is very handsome and is half-Latino. This is the media's big, fat, fakeout. Taxpayers, skilled workers, Christians, gays, and African-Americans have already been thrown under the bus. Latinos are now cool. So here we go while the media looks for the next new special interest group. Four years from now, Latinos will join the rest of us under the bus. This is the way they are defining the economy downward. Why else do you think they highlight the minimum wage and fast food workers?

Bush vs. Clinton

where have I heard this before?

Maybe that means that there will be a powerful third party candidate?

Where in the hell is the constituency clamoring for Jeb Bush? He's bland, boring, completely uninspiring, and a clone of Romney with a worse last name. Why would Jeb even bother? Clinton vs. Bush would just be so soul crushing I would probably completely withdraw from politics altogether.

The neoconservative crowd? The same could easily be said for Rand Paul- people would just say 'Oh, he only has his father's backers, but the big wigs in the GOP won't back him.' And so far, I see no indication that they would gravitate toward him over a Bush type.

Hint: it's not the grassroots.
