The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[myboynoah]

NYT sez that Jeb is coming to Utah on Friday to meet with Mitt.

Mitt and Jeb 2016?

Jeb is coming to the mountain.

That's all we need to know.

Mitt was riding high about six months ago. It would have been a perfect time to announce another run. Instead, he waits for Jeb's stock to go up, then starts to put a Romney team in place? It's hard to know what's really going on, but Mitt is probably unelectable as POTUS in the current environment, and possibly hurts the electability of the Rep nominee if Mitt is tapped as the VP candidate. Why not spend the next 10 years enjoying those 23 grandkids and lovely (MS-stricken) wife?

Im guessing Jeb's visit on Friday is to politely but directly tell him to step off before he destroys the Repubs chances by splitting votes and jacking up the cost to get to the general election.

I wish someone would tell that to Jeb, too.

Jeb hasn't had his chance to fail miserably. Mitt has done so twice. i think that would be Jeb's position.

No, just Jeb's family has had their chance twice and failed miserably both times.

Right, I was giving a rebuttal as to why Jeb shouldn't run. His family has already had their chance at being president and sucked both times. No need for a third Bush to run and suck again.

Are you referring to GHWB and GWB, or the two terms of GWB? I thought Bush 41 was a decent President.

Yeah I was talking about both.

This thread is about elections, not presidential reign. Jeb's family is batting .750 when it comes to getting elected. That's a stark improvement over Mitt's .000.

H.W. lost in both '80 and '92 so the family is batting .600.

I thought it was pretty obvious
