Baingate [View all]

Its got legs.

Its got documents.

Its got no easy explanation.

It will lead to increasing pressure for tax return releases.

Big money contributors will start to hold off.

Reporters will start to get traction on more details.

More and more related stories, more tax questions.

And then mysteriously Bush faction Republicans will start to murmur, more leaks from unusual sources.

The party will start to gnash teeth and tear garments.

And the Bush folks will be counting the days until the 2016 convention where Jeb can come in and save a broken party.

Obama will have 4 more years to get things back to normal and then Jeb Bush can run on a more moderate, more Hispanic friendly platform beating the "cut taxes" drum all the way to election day.

Baingate, the Romney debacle made to fit Jeb Bush.
