You mean who would I vote for if the Republican establishment fixed the nominating process and rammed Jeb Bush down the Republican party's throat?
I would vote the rest of the ballot and leave the presidential race unchecked. At some point there has to be a minimum integrity threshhold for candidates before they qualify to be endorsed by me in the voting booth. In this instance, neither would qualify.
So at this point, some Republican establishment hack can be counted on to come along and start with the "well that would give Hillary Clinton the victory," blah, blah, blah.
Not my problem. Let me explain with a hypothetical example.
So we have a hypothetical presidential race with two candidates, Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler (no I am not saying either of our current candidates are like either of these two people). Someone makes the case that you have to vote for Adolph Hitler, because Joe Stalin is far worse and we do not want to be stuck with him, do we? Neither one of these candidates makes the minimum integrity cutoff. If we are going to be ruled by either one of these two, it is going to have to be achieved without my cooperation. I am not participating in a vote between those two individuals, and nobody else should either, in my view.
In our current situation, Hillary Clinton is so remarkably corrupt and dishonest that I hardly need to bother explaining why she does not meet the minimum standards. In the case of Jeb Bush, it would be because of the outrageous corruption of the Republican party to rig the nominating process to make him the nominee, AND Jeb Bush's willing participation in that exercise, which would be a demonstration of how corrupt he personally is as well.
If there is any funny business by the Republican party this time, I and I am sure many others will not support the candidate that is produced as a result of that. Period.

I'd vote Bush and I don't like him. I just hate Hillary more.
Agreed. If there is not another candidate on the ballot that I would even think could handle the job, I agree with voting for Bush over Clinton. I can't stand her.
I would vote for an "I" which would be for Donald J Trump in that scenario.
Most likely. I would love to see him "I" and kick the butts of the party nominees. It would open a whole new chapter in American politics.

Again you should take lesson from this.
Darn it, Kitty. You are always ahead of me in getting to the point!
For those unaware, if you click the number on the survey of people voting, you'll see a list of people that chose each selection, you might find it interesting as I just discovered one of the anti-Trumps sorry choice. Hey, that poster has every reason to be in a bad mood with the % his candidate is bringing in.
curious why other GOP candidates weren't listed in the poll - but if it came down to Clinton vs most of the GOPers (except a few) I'd go with GOP, Bush included.
While I totally appreciate hypothetical matchups, this might as well be: Easter Bunny vs. Hillary, or Santa Clause vs. Hillary (Hillary might lose those match-ups, as the Bunny and Santa are very popular). Though Jeb apparently has risen to 12% in NH, so just maybe . . . .
