In reply to the discussion: It's gonna be Jeb! v Hillary. [View all]Nay
(12,051 posts)8. I've been saying it all along, too, but you know what? Bush himself has
singlehandedly bounced himself out of the race by --- visibly demonstrating that he does not want the job! It's the most amazing thing I've seen so far. He has no energy, nothing to say, and acts as if someone dragooned him into being a candidate. The only way he will be the GOP nominee is if the convention appoints him, and never mind the delegates or raw vote count. It's certainly possible he may get the job that way.
Oh, and BTW, I'm not terribly concerned about 'bashing' unless it includes total lies. We need to assess the candidates by talking about them, even if there is some vitriol. No need to worry that infights will have any influence on voting; 99% of voters have never heard of DU.

Judging by dollars collected, you would be right, according to the 3rd quarter FEC report.

In other words another election where you have to carry a barf bag and hold your nose.
