Keep talking about the past. And water is wet.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/jeb-bush-tiptoes-into-critique-of-his-brother-s-iraq-legacy-202116360.html

"Using the intelligence capability that everybody embraced about weapons of mass destruction was not, turns out to not be accurate,” Jeb Bush said, being sure to note, accurately, that the intelligence estimate of Iraq’s WMD capabilities was shared by many other nation’s intelligence agencies.

He then added: "Not creating an environment of security after the successful taking out of Hussein was a mistake because Iraqis wanted security more than anything else.” This was ostensibly as much of a criticism of George W. Bush’s defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, as it was of the former president himself. Rumsfeld has been faulted with not sending more troops to Iraq to deal with the post-invasion occupation.

    Most of his foreign policy advisers worked for his dad, brother or Reagan. Wash, Rinse, Repeat

    I'd be shocked if Jeb Bush got the nomination ...

    No chance Jeb survives a primary. None. Walker or Rubio vs Hills.

    My gut says that Rand Paul is in the Republican primary to the end ... he makes way too much sense when he speaks not to catch on once people start paying attention again.

    Compared to Hillary or the crazy lady from Mass? I'd take either in a heartbeat, although I think Walker is >> Rubio.

    There is no way Jeb Bush is a realistic candidate. The Republicans are basically fucked, their candidates are either completely out of touch with and hated by voters or just insane. It's too bad, the Dem candidates are awful too. Politics has really become Marinerized.

    The dems are like Bama. they get the default vote. People are aghast at how horrible the Republicans are then vote for Obama or HIllary. Romney with all of his faults was clearly a better choice in 2012. Now we have defenders of the economy saying that its great if you're on top. THIS economy is always great if you're on top. Obama ran against the 1% and they are the only folks to benefit from his fucked up lack of attention to detail. Blacks have fared worse under him but republicans are racist and Ferguson and shit you know so vote for the dem.

    I started voting in 1980. Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton twice, Gore, Bush, Obama, Romney.

    Carter and Obama are the only two that really fucked things up. Reagan, the Bushes and Clinton were at least competent. Hipster faggots and minorities need to stop defaulting to democrats and maybe they will start running good candidates again. Republicans are going to run managers that get ripped in the media and popular culture. They will never be cool but they will might win rather easily in 2016, say 34-17.
    Voted up for the highlighted, but did you really vote for Carter in '80, followed by Mondale and later, Dukakis? Just curious. Carter's first and only term was an epic disaster that cured a lot of people for several voting cycles.

    It's not Obama's fault that you didn't develop a political creed until your late 50s. Failed idealists that vote Republican are the worst.

    So I'm curious on your rationale for going from all those democrats to Romney in 2012. And I'm curious what you think Romney would have done differently the last 2 years.

    I've always been a realist and never been a failure. Obama is a failure. You seem confused.
