I'm not 'intrigued' by Bush as the Republican nominee - I can just read polls, track institutional support, and follow the track-record of the modern nominating process of the Republican Party. That's it. That points to Jeb Bush as the 2016 nominee. Beyond that, I suspect that Bush would be one of the better Republican candidates, your paranoid 'they just think he would be easy to beat' fixation notwithstanding. I think Rubio might be a better candidate (though there's a lot of unknown there, so he might not be) and I think Kasich likely would be better. Kasich is also my preferred Republican nominee, because I'd like the GOP to nominate the candidate I'd most like to have as President of a Republican wins. If I really played the game of rooting for easy to beat candidates, I'd be cheering Trump (well, I am, but not seriously) and Cruz and Santorum and various other disasters currently in the clown car.
I stopped at ten, but not because I ran out of such posts by you. By the way, I love the last one, where - after once again convincing yourself (and pretty much no one else) that Clinton won't run in 2016, you assert that the Democratic nominee will be... Michelle Obama...
And why? Because you just loathe the notion of a Republican facing Clinton. There is no other logical explanation for your serial wrongness about her running. All you see is what you want to see. And everything you dislike, you just dismiss as a creation of your liberal boogeyman.
WOW! Talk about too much time on one's hands....
Yes, I did not expect that Hillary would run. And there is an explanation for it apart from your failed attempt at mind reading over the internet. She will be 69 when election day rolls around. She has maybe $100 million in the bank, a new grandchild, a mansion in NY, and a mansion in Georgetown. After the 2008 campaign she complained that she was sick of 20 hour days. She has 30 years of baggage going back to AR days that she knows is all going to be dredged up in a 2012 campaign. She has had recent health problems. Putting myself in those shoes, I would have opted not to run. It turns out that I was wrong.
Anyway, this thread is about Jeb Bush, not Hillary. I don't think that Jeb Bush will make it through the GOP primaries. It is possible that I will be proven wrong, just as I was w/ Hillary. But just remember all the problems Romney had in 2012 with one after another 'not Romney' climbing to the top, only to self-implode. This time around Jeb will be facing less ragtag competition that will be less likely to self-implode.
Just read through some of the threads in this forum. It is consistently liberal posters who seem to relish the idea of Jeb Bush as GOP nominee. Conservative posters are tepid at best.
Also, you may know Kristol was in the 'Inner Circle' of Dubya Bush's campaign in 2000. He knows the Bush clan well. Kristol stated on FOXNewsSunday few weeks ago that both Jeb and Hillary are ''phony populist's'' and would NEVER be elected prez.
Like Hillary, the Bush reputation regarding character, (the lack of) is on the Bottom of the scale.
Of course I am aware of Kristol's connection with the Bush's. I am probably more aware than a lot of people are. Now, as for the reputation of Jeb, I am not going to discuss that because I have no idea, but I doubt it is anything like Hillary's.

Whatever. Kristol is right about Both Jeb and Illary - Both are Phony Populist's and neither NEVER will become POTUSA. But, that's very little consolation.

Well, this liberal is pretty tepid on bush as well.
But tepidness (tepidity?) *is* a more positive emotion than what I feel about most of the other contenders, so in that sense, you have a point...
I didn't read the article, but I don't think it will be Bush either.
