We will see just how strong the establishment is.. vs WE THE PEOPLE..if Jeb and Hillary get the nod, this country is over. We as Americans are just another illegal with less power than them.

Bush.

Republicans can't help themselves. They keep talking about conservatives, but always vote for luke warm mainstream moderates.

Sure, but that won't make people vote for him. He won't be the first establishment candidate to fail.

I always have to laugh when people say they are going to do a write in. Most ballots do not even have a place for write ins. Who would you like to see if you don't like the choice we are being offered? I happen to think it is a very good group. For the first time in many years I feel we have a choice and it isn't the worse of or the best of bad.

We have a couple of truely conservative, evangelical candidates: a few middle of he road, a few who are completely anti illegals in any form, then the ones that are on the fence or want reform in a realistic way. We have outsiders, older candidates, young ones, sociallly conservative; fiscally conservative but socially middle of the road, and don''t foget the Libertarian that is a Republican? I really have no idea who you would want. There will never be a candidate any of us agree with 100%.

Right now, my bet is on Rubio, I think Bush will end up fading away. I like Carly but don't see her at the top of the ticket and don't know if Kasich can light enough fires. Trump, let's hope is starting his down hill ride.

The Democrats are guaranteed this election... I would actually rather vote for a Democrat if my only choices are these hateful biased idiotic trainwrecks
I think Rubio has a pretty decent chance as well ... I think it's 50/50 between Bush and Rubio. Trump is on his slow and steady decline ... he will be out by Christmas.

well I have no problems with Hispanics, but are you selecting a community leader or the president of the United States of America?

Laughable when you say he is not one of the establishment. Koch brothers loved him, although Rubio always tried to paint himself as the anti establishment. Whatever

By the way, his interview on fox about Iraq war is embarrassing to say the least.

I think the fix is in for Bush. The reason I think so is because although he has been averaging only about 7% for months now, from the very beginning, the polls I have seen seem to be set up like a Bush vs. Clinton race is a foregone conclusion -- and this is STILL the case even though from the time Trump entered the race, he beat Jeb in the polling by a HUGE margin, and even though Carson is now almost tied with Trump, and Fiorina is suddenly making a strong showing, most of the polls I've seen STILL seem to assume that Jeb is a foregone conclusion for the nomination.

I think that if Bush actually gets it, there will be very little doubt about who REALLY controls things in the U.S.
