Yep!  Jeb only has to convince the donors and it looks like he has. Jeb wants to force himself on Republicans. He intends to get the nomination no matter what he has to do. Bush and his advisers believe that if he gets the nomination Republicans will have no choice but to vote for him especially if Hilary is the Dem nominee. He's depending on Obama fatigue and general dislike of Hilary to secure Rep votes.

For a lot of people voting for Bush will really be a vote against Hilary and Jeb knows that.  I would bet his advisers have probably already calculated which way independents will go in a head to head with Hilary. Bush hopes to shave off a few Hispanic votes by parading around his Latina wife. It's all calculated.

He's done the math and he doesnt have to promote conservative ideas to win. He's expecting conservatives to hold their noses and vote for him. Conservatives are the base of his voter pyramid. Then its indepents and a small slice of Hispanics.

Bush knows that single women and blacks aren't going to vote for him in large enough numbers to impact elections. He needs to secure Florida and other swing states by appealing to independent. Jeb can win if he takes Florida and Wisconsin. If he wins the nomination the odds are likely he will nominate Walker for VP. The advantages of nominating Walker are two fold, he can take Wisconsin with Walker's support and having the conservative Walker on the ticket appeases the base who are naturally leery of Bush who they perceive has far to moderate.

If he becomes a delusional christian and wants to police and make policy around christian principles,
He will do well in this idiotic country. Otherwise,
Republicans will never vote him to be president

Rand Paul wins 2015 CPAC straw poll
Published February 28, 2015
FoxNews.com


Feb. 27, 2015: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Md. (AP)
Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul won the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll for potential GOP White House candidates for the third consecutive year.

"Our party is filled with constitutional conservatives who have chosen to stand with me for a third consecutive straw poll victory," Paul said. "Since President Ronald Reagan, the (conference) has been the gold standard on where conservatives stand. The constitutional conservatives of our party have spoken in a loud and clear voice today."

Paul finished with 26 percent of the vote, ahead of Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker, who finished with 21 percent of the vote.

Former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush, a popular establishment candidate who has struggled to reconnect with conservatives, finished in fifth place, with 8 percent of the vote.

The poll was conducted over the conference’s three days of seminars and speeches by most the leading potential Republican candidates. CPAC organizers said 11,344 people attended the event in Oxon Hill, Md., that 3,007 people participated in the poll and that 42 percent of the voters were students.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, consider a top-flight candidate since the 2012 presidential elections, finished 10th with 2.8 percent of the vote.

His would-be candidacy has since been plagued by the political scandal known as BridgeGate, an up-and-down state economy and his reputation of being a hot head.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz finished in third place with 11.5 percent of the vote, followed by retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson in fourth with 11 percent.

The others receiving votes were former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, in sixth place with 4.3 percent of the vote. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio finished in seventh with 4.3 percent. Donald Trump finished eighth with 3.5 percent, Carly Fiorina was ninth with 3 percent, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished after Christie, in 11th place, with 1.1 percent and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal finished 12th with .9 percent of the vote.

Former GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin finished 13th with .8 percent, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee finished 14th with .3 percent of the vote.
