He's better than Hilary on every issue that matters to me

Gee golly . . . just what we need . . . a continuation of Bush vs. Clinton . . . wonder if Chelsea is being groomed. Weren't Bush Senior and Clinton good buddies. And, oh, hasn't it been established time and again on this forum that Obama continued and expanded Bush policies? Perhaps the Obama girls are waiting in the distant wings to join in the ruling class charade.

Are Jeb and Hillary more different from each other than are Jeb and Cruz from each other? Is Jeb more different from Hillary than he is from the Tea Party?

all set with the Bush thing....no Jeb...no Mitt...thank you...it's too bad the Republicans can't locate quality candidates to battle for the nomination each year the caliber of Joe Biden, Howard Dean and Al Sharpton.....Dems don't even need a nominating process, just crown Hill...she's apparently "entitled"......sounds like Liawatha is Plan B if Hill crashes and burns....remember that O was elected because while having no experience or expertise he was really smart and spoke the right words and whenever he didn't, well that was ok, he'd grow into the position because he was "really smart".....he's successfully lowered the bar for all future candidates in terms of qualifications and now performance...if you voted for him you really have no business asking the GOP to provide some candidate that meets your criteria this time around because what?...you want to now change/reverse the socialist/progressive trend of the nation?......you were "DUPED"?..you voted for the most left leaning of any president in memory and now you want to give the house, senate and Presidency to the Republicans? "Please GOP, save us, give me a great candidate that I can vote for so that we can put the government completely in control of the Republicans"....that's funny...

I think many of the folks that will compete will be far more accomplished than the current occupant when he was considered....that's a good start...electing a president is always a crap shoot...they have history to deal with and how they deal with it determines their legacy...I've noticed that some Presidents and their supporters, particularly on the democrat side, like to pre-determine the legacy of their Presidents...establish them as GREAT before they've even taken office...doesn't work that way...

Scott Walker..Marco Rubio...Ben Carson, not necessarily in that order

Hilary was a SURE THING in 08' and look what happened

I loved Dubya, I'd have no problem with his brother - they both respect life, they both grasp that we're at war with radical Islam, they both believe that the free market can do more good than a massive federal government. Jeb's not my first choice either, but I like him a lot.

"Are Jeb and Hillary more different from each other than are Jeb and Cruz from each other?"

i would say yes. By a wide margin.


"Is Jeb more different from Hillary than he is from the Tea Party?"

Yes again, by a wide margin.

Depends on what your priorities are. Personally, abortion is huge for me. So are good old fashioned family values and Christian values. Through those lenses, Jeb couldn't be more different than Hilary...If all I cared about was immigration, maybe Jeb looks more like Hilary...but when I line them up side-by-side on the issues I care about, no comparison.

Whoever wins the GOP nomination would be a zillion times better than Hilary.
