Discussion: Jeb's CPAC Problem

ottnott · February 27, 2015, 11:27pm

The last time a GOP candidate not named Bush won a Presidential election was 1984.

Good luck, losers.

jinx_tpm · February 27, 2015, 11:46pm

But there was a Bush on the winning ticket going back to 1980.

wtf1 · February 27, 2015, 11:52pm

Oh, it’s not just the conservi-tards!

ottnott · February 28, 2015, 12:01am

LOL.

So I will have to change my statement to: the last time the GOP won a Presidential race without a Bush on the ticket and without the winner resigning in disgrace was…1956.

GOP voters may as well nominate the Chicago Cubs.

ottnott · February 28, 2015, 12:08am

The last time the GOP won without a Bush on the ticket and without someone on the ticket who eventually resigned the Presidency in disgrace was…1928.

They like their leaders big and stupid.

See, the country can come together in a bi-partisan way;-P

I’m sorry…I couldn’t get past reading there’s a guy named Manship, a RWNJ in attendance at CPAC that’s against another Bush. I keep saying, you can’t make this shit up. Again, this is no exception.

Not only am I sick of the Bush Dynasty, I am sick of the Bush incompetence. At least if we get another Prez Clinton, ther is a record there of a rip-roaring economy and not ruinous, morally wrong wars.

They never say Jeb Bush, Its always just Jeb. He can only hide for so long from that huge dark shadow known as his brother George.

littlegirlblue · February 28, 2015, 1:27am

bush fatigue is strong, and I’m waiting for the false equivalency of Clinton fatigue. I’ve always thought a majority of women from all sides of the spectrum will be eager to embrace a woman president, and Bill is still more or less still beloved though not entirely…

littlegirlblue · February 28, 2015, 1:37am

This is very true. Listening to something on TV the other night and somebody said “Mr. Bush”, and I thought, why are they talking about dumbya again, but in fact whoever it was was talking about Jeb. He’ll be just Jeb for as long as he can because it’ll be worse than acid flashbacks to hear that name again and again and again ad infinitum

sandyh · February 28, 2015, 2:37am

Everyone is sick of the Bush dynasty except for Barbara who was bribed by her son to say she isn’t…after she already said she was.

leftflank · February 28, 2015, 3:01am

I know it sickens me. Jeb said that he loves his brother the other day but you’ve got to wonder considering that George stole his Presidency then shat on the family name so grossly that Jeb will never be seen as anything but the brother of nation wrecking George.

teenlaqueefa · February 28, 2015, 3:28am

Well, I meant all these bagger idiots, not so much average Republicans. And yes, most people still like Bill.

jinx_tpm · February 28, 2015, 4:13am

I see what you did there and I really like it!

jinx_tpm · February 28, 2015, 4:15am

Not sure I get this statement … Eisenhower?

ottnott · February 28, 2015, 4:41am

Eisenhower won with Nixon the Crook as VP.

So, you have to go back to Herbert Hoover for a GOP win without Nixon or a Bush on the ticket.

jinx_tpm · February 28, 2015, 4:48am

LOVE IT! And Hoover is exemplary as a successful model of GOP governance.

I do love how you think!
