JEB BUSH: REPUBLICANS DON’T NEED CONSERVATIVES TO WIN WHITE HOUSE, SHOULD NOT DEFUND

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

EXEC AMNESTY

Please, please, please go away Jeb Bush and never come back. And on your way take Hillary, Romney, Christie and the rest of them.

Even though moderate Republican candidates lose presidential elections without the conservative base (see: George H.W. Bush '92, Bob Dole '96, John McCain '08, Mitt Romney '12), former Florida Governor and potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush thinks conservatives are not needed to win the White House.

Bush believes that a presidential candidate who is "willing to lose the primary to win the general" has the best shot at the White House.

"I don’t know if I’d be a good candidate or a bad one," Bush said at a Wall Street Journal CEO Council meeting on Monday evening in Washington, D.C. "I kinda know how a Republican can win, whether it’s me or somebody else – and it has to be much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to be... ‘lose the primary to win the general’ without violating your principles. It’s not an easy task, to be honest with you."

Should Bush run, his embrace of comprehensive amnesty legislation and Common Core will put him at odds with conservative voters in the early primary states. Bush, who said he would make a decision in "short order" about whether he will be a presidential candidate, revealed on Monday that he thinks a moderate Republican who runs as a moderate in the primary has the best chance of winning the White House.

Bush has shown every indication that he will not pander to conservatives and take positions that are at odds with what he truly believes so that he is not viewed as a phony politician like Mitt Romney, who tried to have it both ways on nearly every issue.

2 reasons why Jeb Bush won't run in 2016....
(1)The Republican base sure as hell doesn't want Jeb to run (or Christie or Romney or..), and
(2)After eight years of Dubya, does America really want a third Bush?

Bush has shown every indication that he will not pander to conservatives and take positions that are at odds with what he truly believes so that he is not viewed as a phony politician like Mitt Romney, who tried to have it both ways on nearly every issue.

..and therein lies the rub for any Republican running for President; playing devil's advocate here....if they do what Jeb is advocating above, they'll piss off the base of the party but those in the middle (not moderates per se' but undecided/unaffiliated voters) will respect him more for it. OTOH, if he panders to the base as Romney did in 2012, not only will the base be pissed at him for pandering to them, those very same voters above in the mythical middle won't care for his swerve to the right and subsequent swerve back to the left either.
