2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAll Points Bulletin, All parties should be on the outlook for Jeb Bush's ass.
It was inevitable, really, no one expected that it would happen this quickly.
The GOP's best hope {that would be Jeb) to mount any kind of a national campaign and reverse any of the Obama won states in the Electoral College (North Carolina, Florida, Ohio and Iowa) has taken himself out of action and is watching from a quiet hill while the juvenile preadolescent group known as Republican Presidential Hopefulls engaged in something like sloppy drunks in clown costumes hitting each other with a marathon bumper car ramble.
Watching the events out of New Jersey's today it was reported that Jeb Bush had actually laughed his ass off by noon today and in all of the levity it was misplaced and appears to have taken off on its own.
With Christie undermining any hope of a serious Presidential Bid the establishment wing of the Republican Party (which usually, in the end, determined who the nominee is: i.e Romney, McCain, Bush, Dole, Bush) is now forced to watch the Evangelical/Tea Party/Nutso Wing of the party carry out the next two years without even Christie operating as a foil.
The situation will deteriorate so badly that Jeb can retreat to the shadows, wait for the slow car wreck to come to fruition and wait for the pleas of the party to return as their savior.
I wonder if Romney is starting to get another itch.

Maybe they could put Nixon up again.

(22,000 posts)Whether or not he knew (which we still need to find out) he is toast. We still don't know why Romney didn't choose him as a VP if he was fully vetted. There has to be more we don't know.
Yep, Jeb is doing the backstroke in his swimming pool and enjoying life while the clown cars circle. When everyone has "self-terminated" (borrowing a bit of Romneywords) their own credibility, then Jeb will be there to pick up the pieces.
