Jeb Bush: GOP nominee should be willing to lose the primary to win the general election

Jeb Bush GOP Nominee Should Be Willing to Lose the Primary to Win the General - NBC News

"I kinda know how a Republican can win, whether it's me or somebody else -- and it has to be much more uplifting, much more positive, much more wiling to be, 'lose the primary to win the general' without violating your principles. It's not an easy task, to be honest with you."
Bush also said the incoming GOP Congress needs "to actually show in an adult like way that we can govern. Lead."
Seib followed up to Bush's comments about the primary, asking: "Are the things that you need to do to win a Republican nomination contrary to the things you need to do to win a general election?"
Bush shot back: "Well, frankly, no one really knows that because it hasn't been tried recently."
It was a veiled shot at former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who tacked hard right on issues like immigration to get through the 2012 presidential primary

Jeb is laying the groundwork for his 2016 campaign

He is making it clear that he is willing to break from the extreme right in order to increase his chances in the general election. Specifically, he is going to come out with a comprehensive immigration reform that will outrage the rightwing media but increase his chances in key swing states

You should love Jeb. He is an ardent and ignorant big gov progressive....just like you.

Someone should point out that if the primary is lost, the loser never gets to the general election. Unless he thinks that his new pro Hispanic direction will be a bold move that will end up with him winning the primary. He should run with that one. It will be a good test as to whether or not a candidate can win without the base.

I like Jeb. He has political guts and would have made a better President than his brother

I can't stand Jeb or any big gov loving elitist progressive....and just about anyone would make a better POTUS than W....excepting of course, your Messiah.

Wrong, he is there to drop out before he runs but only after Hillary announces. Democrats = Dynasty. How can you not see this?

What is this "Messiah" the RW keeps talking about?

Jeb Bush doesn't stand a snow balls chance in hell of seeing the white house.

If the republican party thinks they have a shot at the presidency, they're going to have to run someone like Ted Cruz, or Rand Paul, or Scott Walker.

The country has Bush and Clinton fatigue.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Why anyone would want another bush or clinton is just astounding.

I wouldn't be so sure

With Citizens United there is no reason for a candidate to drop out. Bush is one of the only credible candidates Republicans have, Romney being the other.

All other Republicans (Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Carson) are destined for the Clown Car

Hillary would beat Cruz, Paul or Walker by 150 electoral votes (probably much more). They are all incapable of winning outside of Red States

Maybe so, but the R elitist establishment wants and will do all it can to install Jeb. He will have tons of money and much of the media will back him. They fear those guys you mentioned. So, Jeb is their man...much like they did with Dole, Crazy McCain, W, and Romney....all big gov progressives.

For some reason, Republicans run candidates who have a prayer of winning

Guys like Cruz, Paul, Carson and Walker do not

Wrong again.

Progressive Rs have a very poor track record of winning, but you keep believing the lies told to you by the lib MSM.

Conservative Republicans cannot get even their own party to vote for them

I knew you would love Jeb.

But what is most strange about you progs, is your hatred for W, when he was one of you.
