Take a chill pill: Jeb Bush dismisses dip in polls, defends immigration stance
Fox News ^ | 5/11/15 | Fox News

Posted on 05/11/2015 7:14:47 PM PDT by jimbo123

Jeb Bush, in an exclusive interview with Fox News’ “The Kelly File,” rejected the suggestion that the momentum behind his likely presidential bid has slowed – calling recent polls “irrelevant” and urging those closely watching them to “take a chill pill.”

Bush, though widely expected to run for the Republican nomination, has held back as several other Republicans have officially announced their 2016 campaigns in recent weeks. As they dominate the headlines, some – notably, Bush’s presumed home-state rival, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio – have enjoyed a surge in the polls.

But Bush stressed in the interview with Fox News that he’s not a candidate yet.

“The polls are totally irrelevant,” the former Florida governor told show host Megyn Kelly. “I’m not a candidate yet. So … everybody needs to take a chill pill on the polls until it gets closer.”

Megyn should have asked Jeb why his Mexican wife still refuses to speak English even though she's been in the U.S. for 40 years.

Is that true?

I really can't believe that. If so it appears she supports the colonization model of immigration, vice the assimilation model.

Jeb Bush will get destroyed if nominated. He will deliver the worst GOP electoral defeat in 2 generations. He has virtually no appeal that I can detect and he isn’t any sort of objective solution to anything. Forget that he’s a Bush. What is he running on? “Hey, I’m a little less democrat than those democrats over there, tastes great, less filling?” Jeb Bush is effectively a wild card that would let *any* democrat candidate win. Frickin’ Hiawatha could beat him if Hillary somehow caved, got out of the way, and the DNC got behind E. Warren.

OK, OK, Jeb could probably beat Bernie Sanders. Sheeesh.

I’m not even sure of that. I’m never voting for him.

(even if Hillary thanks me/s)

Well it looks to me like 'the Republicans' have struck a deal to let Hillary win, (because it's her turn), and Bush was the best chance to pave the way for her to win.

BEHOLD! 'The Hillary Ticket' for 2016!

IMO Jeb Bush running quite simply guarantees a Hillary win. No matter how crappy the travails of Hillary between now and the election; no matter how untrustworthy the accumulated load of all that crap ends up painting her, if Jeb is the GOP nominee and Hillary is not in Leavenworth, she will win the election.

That would be a great slogan for her: Hillary!! Stay out of Leavenworth!

I think the real way to prod Bush is to start regularly asking his supporters what their back up plan is if he proves to be unserviceable as a candidate.

The last sentence in the article quotes Jeb as saying, "“I haven’t been in Washington … ever. I’m not part of Washington.”."

He needs to be more careful or precise with words. Here is an article about Jeb in Washington: Jeb in DC.

Is it true he also said, "Read my lips. No Obama amnesty."

Jeb is too dumb to realize his terrible poll numbers are because he is
an amnesty pimp.

Jeb is one sorry piece of crap. His ego has inflated and he’s wearing no clothes.

Apparently Jeb has determined that illegal immigration is the hill he wants to die on.

“Apparently Jeb has determined that illegal immigration is the hill he wants to die on.”

How about adding Common Core as part of that hill.

“take a chill pill.”

***
Good grief! The last time I heard that expression was around 1996. Seemed to be big among middle schoolers for a time. I don’t recall ever hearing it come out of an adult’s mouth.

Condescending and arrogant. We don’t need him to tell us what we want and what we believe.
