Jeb Bush?

But is Jeb’s race over before it begins? He would be running, after all, to lead a party he seems to disdain, a party that has become so fragmented and pulled to the right that it would rather lose the election than be led by someone as moderate as Jeb Bush. Even W. is considered a liberal in today’s fire-breathing G.O.P.

“I do think we’ve lost our way,” Jeb said in an interview on stage with a Fox News reporter, urging Republicans to move out of Crazy Town: “We need to elect candidates that have a vision that is bigger and broader, and candidates that are organized around winning the election, not making a point.” [...]

Jeb thinks Republicans have lost their way. He may soon learn that a lot of conservatives think they have found their way — and it’s not the joyful, loving, government-can-be-a-force-for-good way. It’s the mean, cruel, gut-the-government way.

And yet you keep losing because you can't appeal to the rest of the country. So keep fucking that ever right-leaning chicken and good luck with that!

One of these days the Republicans may realize that "never right-wing enough" is actually not the answer to every single problem.

Which conservative are you thinking of when you say this?

His comment implies the person who won the primaries was too far right.
