re: #62 EPR-radar

Fair point. However, I just don’t see a way for Jeb! to win. Even if he wins the primary, he’d be doomed in the general by the combination of relatively low turnout among the GOP base, and the Bush name among sane people.

re: #194 Pip’s Squeak

The Republican turnout wouldn’t be low. Clinton is so hated by the GOP right wing (I know, a pleonasm) that they’d turn out to defeat her. The reverse wouldn’t be as true. In fact, I think that having Clinton as opponent is Bush’s only chance of ever being elected president.

Both points are fair, but it’s (very) early days. Let’s see how Sanders and O’Malley push Clinton from the left, and how the myriad of Gaspers push Jeb from the right.

Yes, the Gaspers hate the Hildebeast, but that is tempered by Jeb being viewed as another RINO. The bigger problem for the R’s is that they are being, slowly, demographically fucked.

If the D’s can actually get black and brown people to show up and vote on election day, they’ll take the Executive and the Senate. The House is a gerrymandered lost cause until the D’s take back some State Legislatures.

Writing about 2016 at this point makes my brain bleed. I just want to eat popcorn and watch the cars wreck.
