the greatest threat to bush is letting him speak.


Jeb is a pretty bright guy. Are you not smart enough to tell one brother from the other?

Bush was much more smart and charismatic than people think.

If you base his intelligence off of funny clips on the internet, sure. Some of us take a more enlightened approach.

A 77 in my physics class would've put you at the top of the class, the average on our final was a 24%, with a high of I believe 60. I will remember that average until I die most likely.

That's normal for a hard physics class, but for business.... That's a different beast. Also this isn't one class, its an overall GPA. I'm guessing the highest score in your class didn't get a D-

The idiots will burn out, bush will take the establishment support like Romney did and win, for better or for worse


This field is just too big and unstable to bank on the historical pattern of GOP primaries asserting itself again. True a lot of the clowns will flame out but that's just because they've got a shit ton of clowns, but a lot of these candidates are not going to get out of Bush's way. As weak as they are, they're much stronger than the also-rans of 2008 and 2012. The money situation will allow some of the clowns to stick around until Super Tuesday too, no matter how poor of a showing they have up until that point.

Walker is far too polarizing to win nationally. Rubio maybe, but he isn't really doing anything....


Rubio actually has one of the better operations going right now. He's in the Top 2 in the money game and is dominating the field at locking up millionaires+. He recently added Norman Braman to his growing list of big-dollar supporters and that's a huge deal because money will shape this race more than anything else. Rubio's made better hires than either Walker or Bush and has had fewer slip-ups in the press. The three of them are all essentially equal right now. Walker is a slightly stronger GOP primary candidate while Rubio is a much stronger GE candidate.

It sure doesn't look like it. He's so rusty that his basic competency is being called into question all across the political spectrum, which is insane because a Jeb candidacy comes with a stack of get-out-of-gaffe-free cards because he's the media's precious "moderate." Mainstream print and TV media will bend over backwards to help him out of trouble because he is, at present, the only person that can offer Clinton a real race in a hypothetical neutral environment.
