4. Jeb Bush is going to be the Republican Nominee..it's just which of the Republican Catwalkers will be

his VP. Possibly not even one of the contestants thus far. They mostly wear monkey suits and do stunts just to get noticed and to raise a few bucks. He doesn't need Rubio, because his wife is full Mexican and can campaign for him in native Spanish.

He'll choose a Moderate, IMO, because his selection somewhat marginalizes the floundering Tea Party, and could cut into some of Clinton's territory. Maybe someone like Jon Huntsman. Doubt it will be a woman.

Thus Hillary needs Julian Castro. Last election was about the rise of our Black brethern to power...thanks, Obama. This one will be about women and Hispanics...and could lock in a Democratic Era that can then get us back to some of the Liberal/Progressive Social Democracy we started losing with Reagan. It's time. We've got a great cast coming out...Sanders,Warren to begin to address and now have the power to possibly somewhat thwart the growing corporatocracy

Then Julian Castro...from a Far Left background (Mama Castro was a member of LA's La Raza) to a politically correct Liberal such as is possible, and he's charismatic and young with a great family...including his equally adorable twin brother who will likely be out there stumping. And as it becomes PC for Democrats, more will show up or lean left.

I, like many here, have waited decades for my party to start moving in my direction. I feel encouraged.

It's up in the air now, but the power brokers in the GOP don't want a repeat of 2012. Major Hogwash Jan 2015 #18
That's good to know about Cruz. I keep hearing he's out...wow...a Tea Party candidate? libdem4life Jan 2015 #20
No question in my mind that Mitt's departure was about his biggest donors. Most had gone to Jeb stevenleser Jan 2015 #21
Bitter Pill...probably Anne and/or her health also. I think he ran last time against the wishes libdem4life Jan 2015 #22
Also surprising because how are they going to finesse his "Birth Certificate" issue? libdem4life Jan 2015 #23
Trump is trying to help him do that now. On the surface, Trump bringing it up seemed bad. stevenleser Jan 2015 #24
I think Jebby' VP will be a tea bagging, clown car wanker. Hoppy Jan 2015 #5
did Jeb have to get rough? Enrique Jan 2015 #7
Nope. It was the donors. Jeb had already locked up a fair amount of Mitts biggest donors. stevenleser Jan 2015 #11
