Why do the leftist pundits want Jeb to win the republican primary?

[randomname]

Their coverage is overwhelmingly positive... It seems they badly want a Jeb vs Hillary election!

 

[Ronin Truth]

To help make it easier for Hillary to win?

Is the answer truly as easy as that?

In a potential general election matchup in the important swing state, Bush does the worst against Clinton. Clinton beats Walker 49%-43%, Paul 49%-42%, Christie 47%-38%, and Bush 50%-37%.

On the other hand, Bush is certainly the best candidate to keep the "us vs them" illusion going.

Simple. Bush said he doesn't intend to end Obamacare. Ron was right. The left cares more about protecting the welfare state than it does about ending the warfare state.

Oh probably not. But she was a two term FLOTUS, a Senator, and Secy. of State.

I thought the Bushes and Clintons are currently buds.

Because there is little difference between Hillary and Jeb. They are both big government, elitist, establishment, globalist, crony corporatist socialists.

Oh absolutely, the last 8 years have made clear they are just as bloodthirsty and they luuuuvvvve war as long as it's waged by someone on their team.

Now imagine the outrage if Benghazi, the IRS scandals, the torture, the NSA spying or the clinton email scandal were to have happpened to a Republican, we wouldn't have heard the end of it.

It seems only those pesky libertarians think any of those 6 things are a bad thing, or even care about those. To opinionmakers such as the press, the bankers, the academics, the think tanks, the military strategists, the lobbyists, the political operatives and the donors, those things are a prequisite (along with being enough of a warmongerer) but other than that, unimportant details in differentiating between candidates

 

[thoughtomator]

because those allegedly lefty pundits work for the same corporations that also sponsor both Jeb and Hitlery.

 

[Standing Liberty]

He represents the least threat to the status quo that both groups want to keep in place. If by chance he won, it would keep the same masters happy, just as if Hilldabeast won. They both serve the same masters.

 

[acptulsa]

Which leftist pundits? The foam-at-the-mouth brigade who know the only way they're getting another Clinton is if the GOP puts up someone even more tainted--and no name is more tainted than Bush? Or the ones whose whole job description is, 'Maintain the status quo and promote war at all times'?

 

[brushfire]

Panic vote - what's the difference between GW and Obama? There's too much at risk to let principles get in the way.
