2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo it looks like Big Money is shifting from Christie to Jeb Bush..
My question is: Wont Jeb have to come out and publicly state his position on the Iraq War, Torture, Extradition, etc? Will this be an almost impossible task for him.. Cause essentially he will have to tread all over his brothers legacy..
Am I wrong, cause this guy scares me a little.. His expression of an act of love to describe illegal immigration will be quickly forgotten if he makes it past the primaries.. And thats my hope..

(145,204 posts)Christie was going to be that candidate but now the GOP donor class has to find someone else. Jeb is a very flawed candidate but he is less flawed compared to Christie

(8,515 posts)He is so much ore articulate than his brother... I find him dangerous despite his past..

(145,204 posts)Jeb is a better speaker than W but he has a great deal of baggage due to W. I have a feeling that the tea party base will stay home if they do not get a "true" conservative on the top of the ticket.

(22,000 posts)I honestly think had his brother not ran and won, that Jeb would probably have a good chance of winning in 2016. Bush fatigue is going to play a hand in how far he gets through. His father was one thing, but his brother was a nightmare.
Personally I hope neither Jeb nor Hillary run.

(16,149 posts)I saw a truck driving down the highway with a sticker on the back of his truck saying, in GIANT letters, "I FEAR HILLARY"
I'm no Hillary fan (at least for a Presidential run) but it's fun to see them scared over what they falsely believe about Hillary.
