CPAC attendees walk out on Bush

Jeb Bush: so electable, even hardline Republicans can't stand to listen to his speech. I'm sure he's severely conservative and will win in a landslide, Karl Rove told me so.

Quote
The Washington Times reported yesterday that some conservative activists were considering protesting Jeb’s speech. In anticipation of just such a walkout, Slate reported, Bush’s team began bussing in supporters from downtown Washington, D.C. Many of the buses were expected to depart from K Street, the heart of the lobbying industry in Washington. As Bush continued to answer questions from Hannity, more and more attendees filed out.

Unfortunately, he's been working behind the scenes trying to line up the biggest donors and twisting the arms of the best ad/campaign people out there.
He sucks and he knows it, but he'll probably get the nomination on pure cutthroat ambition.  :facepalm:

The Hillary bunch must be lovin Jeb's candidacy. In fact, even Joe Biden might could beat him.

So, who do you figure will be his running mate in '16?

Personally I'm disgusted with the whole damn lot of them. The stupid party is doubling down on the stupid. They are going to end up with either Bush and/or Christie on the ticket and hand the election to the next D that comes along. I'm less and less sure it will be Clinton but she's still in the running. That Idiot Warren is starting to get traction. Either way the country is beyond repair and we are good and truly *expletive deleted*ed.

On the state level the republicans are demanding absolute loyalty to the party line and any precinct that doesn't toe the party line is getting the heave-ho and denied status and their delegates will be barred from recognition at the state convention.

The fantasy of selling out, going expat and buying a sailboat and living in the Bahamas looks more attractive every day.

Bush was a fairly decent Governor, but I would not support him for POTUS.

They may pick a woman as VP in order to counter the feminine wiles of Hillary. (  [barf]  ). It wouldn't surprise me if the GOP went full retard and picked a "moderate" like Susan Collins from Maine.

AMEN!

On the state level the republicans are demanding absolute loyalty to the party line and any precinct that doesn't toe the party line is getting the heave-ho and denied status and their delegates will be barred from recognition at the state convention.
#1 priority is beating the Tea Party and making the GOP base toe the line.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

At this point in time, I have absolutely no idea who I will vote for, other than a write-in for Malcolm Reynolds.

Still a 11 months away from caucus/primary season. Plenty of time for people from both parties to toss their hat in the presidential hopeful ring.

It would not surprise me to see them nominate Bush, if for nothing else besides the RINO leadership continuing to chase the carrot of the "Hispanic Vote" that they will never, ever get. *expletive deleted*ing morons.

So I might be able to add Jayne Cobb to my list. :)

I seem to recall Obama was fairly last minute, so I guess we'll see what rabbits (or rats) might be pulled out of what hats before the primaries.

I don't know.

I think Reynolds/Washburne would be the vote getting combo.  You have the handsome, strong leader to appeal to the soccer moms and the minority female widow to appeal to well, everyone.

Should carry every state.

Walker is looking better and better, despite the fact I'm loath to lose him as WI governor. With the GOP in the House and the Senate determined for status-quo, and simply spending and expanding the fed.gov how the Democrats would, just a bit slower, and the structural control of Obamacare, and the illegal flood a done deal... I'm not sure any POTUS no matter how perfect can turn the ship around. Triage in the states might be the best we can hope for.

Also, WI went to hell in a handbasket the last time we lost a GOP governor to a Job in D.C. (Thompson to Bush as HHS sec, in 2000...)

Walker's busting and massive fiscal reforms in WI, and weathering the protests and the recall with an even higher margin than his original election it's made him a darling of the Tea Party (what's left of it...) and his dominance in Blue/Purple WI with a lot of the establishment GOP who cares the most about Electoral College bean-counting.

I think it'll come down to if Walker assembles the best team, and that those people are attracted to him because of his big successes against stacked odds here in WI, and it's key position in the EC. A lot of the "big money" Jeb has lined up are promises etc. and checks haven't been signed yet. And that can change through the primary and nomination process.
I promise not to duck.

Here are the results of the CPAC straw poll. Of course if history is any indication, it means the top contestants are doomed to lose in any real votes. Word is that Bush's 5th place spot got booed pretty loudly, likely due to the bussed in voters. Paul winning the #1 spot (again) is no real surprise given the average age (I believe 27) of the straw poll voters.

Any of the first three names would be pretty decent, most of the rest would be a disaster.
