Jeb Bush Shocked That He Is Not Already President (Donors like Cruz better than they like Jeb)
The American Spectator's The Spectacle Blog ^ | June 11, 2015 | Emily Zanotti

Do you ever get the sense that someone doesn't like you? Its not a super-obvious thing, of course, but every once in a while, possibly, say, because I'm routinely "revealed" to be a "closeted liberal" by the comments section, I get the sense that someone just isn't about to fall all over themselves in an effort to be my friend. It doesn't really bother me - I'm fantastic, so it's really their loss - but I at least know about it.

Jeb Bush has clearly never possessed that talent. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, he and his team apparently thought that the multitudes were simply joshing him when they said they weren't thrilled at the prospect of a third President Bush, and that everyone was simply being facetious when they noted that a Jeb Bush candidacy would make them run straight into the arms of pretty much any other Republican candidate. Except for Rick Santorum. None for Rick Santorum.

Anyway, they've just noticed that no one was, indeed, joking. Just a couple of months too late.

In interviews this week, dozens of Bush backers and informed Republicans — most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to comment candidly — described an overly optimistic, even haughty exploratory operation. Strategic errors were exacerbated by unexpected stumbles by the would-be candidate and internal strife within his team, culminating in a staff shake-up this week...

If he ever pretends to move to the right, people need to start throwing rotten tomatoes and eggs.

If any FReeper then says we should take his word for it, they should be summarily digitally executed and banned from ever using the internet or stating an opinion again.

I’m getting the feeling that, like Hillary, Jeb is an elitist with an entitlement mentality.

“like Hillary, Jeb is an elitist with an entitlement mentality.”

*****

They believe they “earned” their coronations by marriage (Hillary) and by being a member of the lucky sperm club (Jeb).

Works in most Third World countries...and that’s where the U.S. has been heading for years.

Someone should pull the plug on his campaign support machine.

Hope this keeps up, from the sound of it on FR today, one would think the Cruz campaign is finished over TPA.

The RNC does nt care if we don’t like their designated loser.

The one goal is to prevent us from electing anyone who would stop the invasion/cheap labor importation/colonization of our country.

Amnesty is the number one issue to those in power.
It should be to the voters as well if they want to keep their country.
