Call me paranoid....but I don't belive Bush is on his way out.

[Xolodno]

Instead, I'm thinking he's feigning....why?

1. He obviously isn't polished and ready to take on everyone. Why? This guy has been waiting for this for a long time. Makes no sense. No, I'm thinking he's faking so that everyone can roll over him. Plus this provides him valuable time to say some things out there to see what works and what doesn't.

2. How on earth did he expect to get ahead of a massive field, plus with flamboyant candidates...and once you're there, you are target #1. Wisdom says, let everyone duke it out and triumph on their ashes. Not too mention, you have to say some outlandish things to get the base....things that can't get you elected. But....after the guys who went whacky are forced to pull out....all he needs is their endorsement and the words "better a Republican in the White House than <Democratic Candidate> and the lemmings follow.

3. He's been fund raising for awhile....yet, doesn't seem like he's used a whole lot of it. Make's no sense.

4. A comeback Candidate who is suddenly "Charismatic" and.....well, I'll be...suddenly has funding....and suddenly he's a media darling.

Hope I'm wrong.

1. The BFEE won't go easily

[BlueMTexpat]

4. I totally agree.

He sucks as a candidate.

Jeb! really thought that he could just waltz in and everyone would bow down and/or roll over; he's so lost in his own bubble of entitlement. But the GOP today is not that of his father, nor even that of his older brother. It's gotten completely derailed by the TPers, and narcissistic One-Percenters like Trump. There's little of the same "infamous" party discipline.

But never underestimate the BFEE. Ever.

Check out "Family of Secrets" for a reminder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Secrets

2. I agree on all 4. nt

[Logical]

3. Why do we want Bush less than the other idiots? Am I missing something? nt

[BillZBubb]

5. Because like his idiot brother he could do much more real harm than the loud idiots.

The media will push him as a moderate, sane alternative. He will be able to get right wing legislation passed that the others couldn't. He could put right wing zealots on the SC that the others couldn't.

6. When that movie called Truth hits the big screen

all bets are off IMHO as to how viable the Jeb! brand will continue to
be, as in not so much.

Anyone who watched the Rachael Maddow show last night should understand
what i mean.

[Fred Sanders]

7. You are right. The corporate media is making money off the clowns at the time when nothing

really matters but fund-raising.

Once they have had their fill they will boost Bush to the top just like they always boost the establishment candidate to the top.

Bush can read the 2011 to 2012 polling charts from the last election as well as anyone else -Bachmann, Cain, Santorum and even Trump the first time all were Number One in the Fall Polls...where are they now?

It is déjà vu.

[old guy]

8. I agree.

I picked him in the beginning and haven't changed my mind. There is a loooong way to go.
