#1 I think a "POWERFUL STATEMENT" would be if conservatives of every stripe ensured that this self-righteous asshole never holds public office again.

Fuck him.

#2 'Low Energy Jeb' sitting this one out, encouraging others to do likewise ?

#3 Why is it politically correct to pretend that 9/11 never occurred?

I don't ask in the "why do alleged-libs take such a stance." Instead, I'm asking why the rest of us allow it to go unchallenged?

#4 Didn't Jeb pledge to support the Pub nominee, or did that come to me in a dream ?

#5 The "two party" illusion is becoming frayed?

#7 Oh, he is on the ballot, implicitly.

And with Johnson acting like a 16 year old stoner, having Aleppo-sodes, they need an alternative to the alternative.

And to you Libertarians, which there might be legitimate ones or leanings here at Rantburg, I mean no disrespect to you, but the everyday Libertarians I have come across is summed in Johnson, and it is embarrassing.

As I quipped to a legit Johnson supporter, "Not knowing what Aleppo is in today's conflicts is like not knowing what Berlin is during WWII."

#8 I would be happy if only living, breathing American citizens voted; and only once.

#9 Gosh, Jeb, that's exactly what I was gonna do if you got nominated.

#11 Jeb! apparently still hasn't figured out that the only ones paying him any attention whatsoever are his fellow "elites" and MFM provocateurs. I still get a chuckle recalling that he spent over $100 million to get 3(?) delegates. In the immortal words of that great philosopher, Bugs Bunny, "wotta maroon!"

#12 'Lose the primary to win the general' - how's that winning strategy working out for you, buddy? Now fuck off.

#13 Thank dawg Trump kicked his ass, Jeb! Is a RINO but low energy. We can look back on this in 3 years and think, well she's no worse than JEB! Except for the rotating blackouts and ration books. But that was going to happen anyway. All RINOS to the wall!

#14 "I would be happy if only living, breathing American citizens voted; and only once."

You're such a dreamer, #8 Airandee.
