It is going to be Bush, Rubio, Kasich, or Walker.

I think it is going to be walker or Kasich. walker most likely.

Bush will finish 4th. Behind Trump, Walker and Kasich. What the actual order of those three are though is still up in the air.

Walker is the only one who might win enough states and votes to have it sewed up by the time the convention comes. The odds on that are long, though, if Trump stays in. Trump will take the conservative states that Walker might otherwise have a shot at. Walker also does not have the "A" team working for him. There will be blunders and the ground game and the palm greasing and the retail politicking that makes the difference is not going to be there. About all that Walker has going for him is he is his conservative reputation. Winning a nomination takes work. Walker is in this one to learn.

Yes. I think you are right. Great post.

Agreed. They're getting Jeb, whether they like it or not.

I don't see ol' Jeb winning. I've mentioned this in another thread a week or so ago, don't be surprised if Rick Santorum rises to the top eventually. Not saying I'm a fan (actually not a fan of any of them), but the big money conservative donors may eventually decide to back him. And Republican voters will feel comfortable with his experience. Another thing I noticed is that snivelling personality he always seemed to have when he was still in office seems to have softened a little. Or I just haven't seen him enough yet this campaign cycle.

Getting back to ol' Jeb, his pro amnesty stance will hurt him big time, and he doesn't seem to have a very energetic personality. I wouldn't vote for him, but I'm an independent who's ticked off at both parties, so it probably wont matter in the end considering I may not vote for either the R or D candidate in the general election.

Yes, it will be Jeb Bush in the end. Sorry. You don't have to believe me, but as usual, the liberal is right.

I only have 2 questions for you: 1-why should we be sorry? If he wins the most primaries he deserves to be the nominee. There is nothing to be sorry about.

2-what makes you think, just because you happen to be a liberal, that makes you always right? Isn't that a little arrogant of you?
