when the voters learn Jeb Bush's basic positions, he will lose support

People will shift their positions quicker than you can say "WTF!" Saw it with GWB and foreign policy.

Bush walks into the race with Texas and Florida pretty much cinched. Stopping him is literally going to take a miracle.

Rick Perry was supposed to have Texas locked up in 2012. And Ghouliani was supposed to run away with the nomination in 2008 by just repeating "9/11" ad nauseum. Rubio could take Florida and Cruz could take Texas. Of course that would require both of them to last that long which is itself questionable.
 
Anybody who thinks voters actually care about issues, I have some beachfront property in Colorado you may be interested in....

Yep. Nobody gave a hot damn when it was shown that Romney was the godfather of Obama care.

Gotta beat the Democrat.
 
Wait until election season is in full swing, he will have supporters coming in there.

Yeah....those supporters never materialized for Ghouliani or Rick Perry. Rick Perry killed his candidacy by saying that if you don't want to educate the children of illegal aliens you don't have a heart.



Perry's epic "I can't think of any agency I'd like to get rid of" fail also hurt him.



So there's not guarantee that Bush will be the favorite of anybody who currently doesn't like him. What happened last two elections is that as candidate after candidate dropped out, Ron didn't really pick up that support. It's imperative this go round that when Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz drop out Rand picks up their supporters. I suspect the well is too poisoned to pick up the Rubio supporters.

Exactly spot on. We are really good at poisoning wells, though. Makes us feel good about ourselves.

This is why I keep trying to turn off the vitriol aimed at Carson, Huck and Cruz.

LOL there is plenty of vitriol here aimed directly at Rand :rolleyes: "We" also have this habit of cutting off our own noses to spite our face.
 
None of those matter in a GOP primary; it is more like:

gays
illegals
terrorists
communists
church
jobs

Sad, but true.

The successful candidate must skillfully manage flip flops, during hip hops through fly over country.
