GOP ticket will be Bush/Walker

with Jebbie perhaps hinting that he will be a one-termer... Walker is young-ish and will be seen a a lock for 8 more years after Jebbie steps down to spend-more-time-with-his-family..

Walker will then run with Mia Love...who is very young/attractive and black... Love will have had some DC experience by then..

5. Because Bush has always been a party-favorite

and he can buy the nomination..

and Walker is from a swing state and is a current darling..

Jebbie is a bit older than most of the "others", so he will be the "set-up".. Repubs are long-term thinkers...and they LOVE the idea of being the first to "check two boxes" (black/female)

4. Walker is heading down the same road as Christie.

He’s fucking up all over the place. Wisc. economic numbers are just plain awful.. He has legal problems which seem to follow him around..And watch how that idiotic statement concerning Isis and Unions comes back in his ass.. Not to mention what he’s doing to the State’s Ed System...

This guy is too stupid to realize how dumb he is....

Take a look...

some in Wisconsin's supreme court has ties to the same "scandal", so they will probably decline to take the cases..

7. And Cruz's role is framing, so the actual ticket can be falsely peddled as moderate.

The Overton Window scam is what the RW excels in.

9. Why would Jeb agree to be a one-termer?

He's only 62. That's hardly ancient, especially by Republican standards. With the exception of his idiot brother (who was 54 and 58 in his two elections), that actually makes him YOUNGER than every Republican presidential nominee since 1980.

He only looks older because there's a bizarre number of fortysomethings running for the nomination this time.

11. He might hint at it, to prove that he's only interested in

"saving" America;s freedom..and is not all that interested in it for himself.. The Bushies excel at false altruism..

once IN, he would undoubtedly run for a second term if things went well enough...and there was still some money to steal in the treasury..

There's a reason those two guys got together earlier this year, and it wasn't to exchange recipes for Jell-O salad.
