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.

Jeb probably believes Christie is forever screwed by the bridge fiasco and sees room for a moderate on the stage.

Good luck with that. We've done that the last four presidential cycles now, with one popular vote victory.

In other words, to be elected to office in the US, principles are a liability. Well no shit.

All right, Jeb and Hillary! We're not even pretending it's not nepotism anymore.
