Kuznicki: Absurd Polls That Favor Jeb Bush
conservativeview.com ^ | Dec. 30, 2014 | Jen Kuznicki

Jeb Bush is polling as the man to beat in 2016, and it's completely absurd.

Most people outside of Florida have little idea what Jeb Bush has done in office and even fewer voters know what he plans to propose or the direction he seeks for the Republican Party. But in poll after poll, John Ellis Bush (J.E.B.), the privileged son of President G. H.W. Bush, brother of President G.W. Bush and grandson of a banker and Rockefeller-type Republican senator from Connecticut, Prescott Bush, is leading the list of Republican nomination contenders by a wide margin. So far though, he's the only one who has announced his desire to run for the office.

For his sake, there is an upside and a downside to him announcing so far in advance of the 2016 race. He will have ample time to create a story about himself that will downplay his faults and accentuate his strengths, while his critics will have plenty of time to put together an effort to destroy his candidacy. There is another downside as well; he has plenty of time to screw things up on his own.

I think the latter has already happened.

In several instances, Jeb Bush has said inane things that play to the lobbyist wing of the party, demonstrating an inability to connect with ordinary Americans and rank-and-file GOP voters. His recent comment stands out, "We don’t have to make a point any more as Republicans...We have to actually show that we can, in an adult-like way, we can govern, lead.”

Polls are primarily used to influence the undecided.

Sounds like Jeb is the one that the MSM and the left want us to pick, otherwise they would be putting him down. Jeb is definitely off my list of possible candidates.

This could just as fairly be titled “Absurd Poll Favors Hillary to Do Good for US”

The highly touted CNN poll giving Jeb Bush 23 percent of the vote and Christie 13 percent did not include Mitt Romney.

I don’t support any of them but the exclusion of Romney obviously created a skewed result in that poll......

Hang on gang. The elites want him. They probably will get their wish. My insiders that I hardly question have long said this is the outcome with Jeb winning. Think about this - how does your vote w/o dollars attached make a totally corrupt institution change their votes. Here is the bottom line. You are not voting for the lesser of evil but the evil of lesser. Happy year year to all freepers.

I liked Jeb when he was our governor, although I didn’t agree with everything. Since leaving office, he seems to have caved on almost every principled issue. I guess he is spending too much time with those of the other side and has lowered his standards in order to be agreeable. What a sorry mess.

completely absurd

Of course it is completely absurd.

These kinds of articles are put out by propaganda organizations/persons who are pushing a certain potential candidate. They are designed to influence the LIVs into believing their desiree is ahead and going to win, so jump on the bandwagon.

We already have seen similar polls and articles for Bush, Christie, Romney, Cruz, Paul, Huckabee, Santorum.

The worst part: MORE to come, with a deluge in early 2016. And the bots who post their propaganda in most related threads and attack any opposition to their desiree.
