Same with Jeb. Nothing has changed since last November, other then the Senate being taken over by Republicans. Jeb didn't help that happen. Ted and Rand were fighting in the trenches.
Jeb certainly was on the campaign trail for other Republicans. He just didn't go on the campaign trail for tea party Republicans.

The establishment does not want to let go of the seat(s) of power. Therein lie the problems in Washington.
Reagan was right. The government IS the problem. In either party, the "establishment" is so well entrenched that they will not allow anyone to threaten their positions, their power, their pensions and their careers. And, they do it all for us, the people. It's a political clique, folks.

That is true, Jeb only campaigned for sane candidates.

Didn't see that. Even google doesn't catch it. It just brings up this recent stuff about running.

Really makes you curious about what went down in that meeting.

So, "sane" in your mind is any Republican or Democrat who put us $18T in debt, and insane describes the people who had no part in it but want to do something about it. It's makes perfect sense for a big government liberal like you bob.

Sane excludes all extremists, including your beloved TP (not to be confused with the useful kind found in bathrooms).

Doing something about it requires a bi-partisan mindset, and the extremists lack any mind at all. They just rant and rave.

Sane to the one you are replying to is any Republican who champions illegal aliens and wants them to be able to remain here via an amnesty aka the PC term "Immigration Reform".

There not going away, we cannot deport 20 million people.

It's time to adapt and evolve. The Republican Party can no longer be the party of old White people from the Deep South and rural western states collectively stuck in a 1950s mentality.
