Who has a bigger chance of appealing to a broad electorate and winning? Scott Walker is fresh and young but has a (bad?) reputation of being right-wing and a dry while Bush III seems to be more progressive but has a bad last name and reputation given to him by his older brother.

Walker can appeal more but Bush will win since the Republican party loves the establishment.

Walker.  But if Walker doesn't answer questions enough then Jeb may look more acceptable.

Walker, because I don't think he'll look to scary to swing voters, and he can appeal to the more conservative parts of the Republican party.

Judging from their nascent campaigns to date: neither.

We haven't seen much, but from what we have seen, Jeb hasn't campaigned in over a decade, ad it shows. Not just personally, but with his organization, likely advisers, and approach.  Meanwhile, Walked looks very close to either getting Quayle'd as "The man who can't answer questions" or just flat out having a Palin moment from which he'll never recover.

Bush. On the issues at least he can approach immigration reform, and common core and say I'm prepared to switch sides.

Walker comes across as a puppet for the Koch brothers,and the dems can play a mighty fine tune with that one

Walker, but I think both of their respective flaws allow for a big opening for someone else.

Ideologically, I am much closer to Jeb Bush, but I would expect Scott Walker to have an easy path to the Republican nomination due to the fact that he can appeal to both conservatives and moderates and is a much fresher candidate than Bush.

Walker. He doesn't follow any dynasty and can be seen as a conservative populist, an everyday guy. Jeb is seen by the right as too liberal if you can believe that. The RINO label will be tossed out in the millions.

Walker has the potential to, but probably a greater chance of screwing it up.

The Dem voter in me thinks Jeb's easier to beat. The Indy in me thinks- Jeb, Hillary... Neither is great or terrible. Walker v Clinton would be more fun to watch.

If Jeb's last name wasn't Bush, than I'd say him hands down.

Still, probably tilt Jeb. Walker is too conservative.

Where are you getting the idea that Common Core is popular? For people who have an opinion on it, it is extremely unpopular.

Thank you an honest Dem. Yes, Bush is easier to beat than Walker.

You're the reason I don't like people that end an "argument" with the word period.

If you think the American people want a 3rd Bush presidency, let's hear it.

As a conservative, Id prefer Hillary win over Bush. Bush will destroy the GOP, Hillary wont.

I don't think Bush would win and I said nothing of the sort, my point was that there are better, less combative ways for you to get your thoughts across.
