35. Jeb is by far their strongest candidate

On one hand his relative benign stance on immigration will ensure a challenger on the right. On the other hand Republicans always fall in line.

I think we can beat him. It's hard to overcome the demographics that favor us. However I don't want to find out if we can. I would rather run against a Christie, a Cruz, or a Paul.
