What 10 Republican Presidential Hopefuls Say They'd Do First
If there's any question a presidential candidate should be ready for, it's: What's the first thing you would do if you were president?

In an interview with the Washington Post published Wednesday, Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, said he would work on repealing any executive orders from President Barack Obama that exceed the legal authority of the office. Given that Cruz has made a name for himself in part by railing against what he perceives to be Obama's

I'm pretty sure he was kidding on the square, he knows he couldn't do that, but he sure wishes he could. Good old Lindsey "Junta" Graham. Can I trademark that?

Also, Bush's “I think repealing Obamacare and replacing it with a 21st century, consumer-directed, patient-driven heath care system has to be a high priority.” That's a lot of words Bushy, but what do they mean?

It means he would get elected and not do that at all and follow the typical Bush agenda-

1. Start a war in the middle east
2. Pass education bills

Operation Irani Liberation and No Student Allowed to Fail? Sounds good to me. I can't wait for Jeb's ideas to form coherent policies so I can mock them more thoroughly.

TBH, if Bush gets through the primary, we likely will have the same policies on both sides for both candidates. I bet both of them would make tuition free proposals. I really hope Hillary's talk about war is just for campaigning because Bill had a FP I could handle.
 
If Rand wins and moves on to the GE, maybe he should ask his father to be his running mate. Vote for Paul/Paul.

I think she feels she has to act tough because she wants to woo some moderates afraid the Dems are soft, and because she's a woman and wants to fight the stigma of weakness. I am fairly confident we don't see boots on the ground in a Hillary administration.
 
Great work on the thread Lead Salad, but let's be honest here.....we can talk to no end about this and that ....but the bottom line will come down to Jeb Bush Vs, Hilary Clinton ....Jeb Bush has already won the Election. games rigged.

I also predicted he would win, the trifecta.

I think it's without a doubt fighting against the stigma

I'm unsure why people come in here acting like they have insider knowledge telling us Bush is the most likely to win. Everyone posting in this thread already knows that. No one will be shocked and look back to these posts if he were to win.
 
Will Republicans Break their Pattern?

The Republican practice for determining a presidential nominee has long been to have a fight, then nominate whoever's turn it is to be the party's standard-bearer. It has been a relatively orderly, hierarchical process. And if Republicans behave accordingly next year, they will slug it out before nominating former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whose turn it would seem to be.

Certainly the last half-century would bear that out. In 1968, Republicans tapped former vice president and 1960 presidential nominee Richard Nixon, who won and then was renominated and reelected four years later. In 1976, President Gerald Ford won the nomination after a stiff challenge from former California Gov. Ronald Reagan. In 1980, it was Reagan's turn, as he turned back a large field of contenders. After Reagan was nominated and elected for a second time in 1984, Republicans chose his vice president, George H. W. Bush, in 1988 over a big field of rivals including Sen. Bob Dole. In 1996, after another Bush nomination in 1992, it was Dole's turn. There was a big field in 2000, but it became clear early on that the fix was in for Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who bested another large group that included Sen. John McCain. After Republicans chose Bush again in 2004, McCain won the nomination in 2008 over a field including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. In 2012, true to form, Republicans went for Romney.

Jeb Bush to women on welfare in 1994: 'Get a husband'
Jeb Bush insisted during his unsuccessful first run for the Florida governor's office that an alternative to welfare for women is to "find a husband."

The Republican 2016 presidential contender's comments came in the heat of a 1994 campaign that has come back to haunt him -- particularly as he seeks to run an inclusive campaign aimed at broadening the GOP's appeal.

That year, Bush, with a more strident style and in a different era in the debate over welfare reform, saw a controversial remark he made in July seized on by reporters and by his opponent. Bush said that marriage is one of three options for women to get off welfare assistance.

Jeb Bush And Florida's 'Scarlet Letter Law,' Explained
Imagine publishing a list of all of your recent sexual partners in the local paper. That was what one 2001 Florida law, enacted under then-Gov. Jeb Bush, required of some women in the state.

Huffington Post reporter Laura Bassett brought the so-called Scarlet Letter law to national attention in a Tuesday piece. Here's a rundown of what exactly that law did, and why it was passed in the first place.

What did the law do?

The law in question was a 2001 overhaul of the state's adoption regulations. Bush wrote shortly after the Legislature passed the bill that the law was intended to bring more "certainty" into adoptions. The goal was to "provide greater finality once the adoption is approved, and to avoid circumstances where future challenges to the adoption disrupt the life of the child."

The media already has everything they need to sink Jeb in the GE. He is not electable imo. You either take a risk with another candidate or accept Jeb losing by a close margin at best. They have the material to make the guy look like a sexist and with Hillary on the other side, it's going to be too easy to garner a huge women turnout.
 
Chris Christie Says His Brash Style Could Work on Vladimir Putin
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told a crowd in Iowa Thursday that his blunt persona could pay dividends when dealing with Russian and Iran

Speaking to a gathering of about 150 Republicans in a West Des Moines ballroom, Christie said the last thing the country needs is "another college professor" as commander-in-chief, and proceeded to criticize everything from President Barack Obama's handling of foreign affairs to fellow Republicans' handling of the Patriot Act standoff.

"Aggression happens in this world in response to weakness and peace happens in this world in response to strength," Christie said, receiving a mix of applause and laughter as he peppered his speech with jokes and anecdotes that have become stop-lines in his stump speeches.

What if I was to tell you that neither would win the general, and it's even doubtful that Bush will win the nomination?
