nah.

Being Jeb Bush isn't just about being a paper tiger. Being Jeb Bush is about being completely ideologically out of step with the party, perceived as owing all of your loyalties to hostile interests, AND being a secretly disastrous politician.

I think Cory Booker is perfect for this, considering I think Cuomo is both more ideologically conservative and more rhetorically left-wing and is also a slightly craftier politico. But Cuomo is also corrupt, so I suspect a scandal dooms Cuomo and kills his campaign before he even gets started ala Christie.

So Booker is to Bush as Cuomo is to Christie. I think Warren is to Cruz - a candidate most of the ideologues agree with, but haven't fallen in love with. She'll do well, but I doubt she'll be the nominee.
