Jeb Bush Makes Big Move, Names Top Conservative Campaign Manager

[Bullish]

You can’t “win back” conservative voters you never had in the first place, Jebby boy.

[Major Matt Mason]

According to the article, he's been involved in the last three GOP presidential campaigns, so not a great track record. And who knows if he is actually conservative, or is simply being deemed as being conservative to woo conservatives.

[nomad]

Anyone who`d work with this Progressive Globalist is no Conservative.

[Jack Hammer]

Suggested campaign motto for Bush: “Jeb Bush, the Status Quo Republicrat.”

Or, “If you like Obama, you’ll love Bush.”

[jjotto]

He’s got no cred outside of DC. Another tone-deaf Jeb move.

Danny Diaz--any relation to Porfirio?

Danny Diaz, a 39-year-old Washington, D.C., native

[Zathras]

From old FR posting:
muckety.com

Steve Schmidt personal relations:
Matthew S. David - protege
Danny Diaz - protege
Brian Jones - protege
Katie Levinson - protege
Kevin Madden - protege
Matthew McDonald - protege

I knew Schmidt was in here somehow.
When mere Stupid isn’t stupid enough, call Schmidt and Co.

Something smells funny.

Danny Diaz, a 39-year-old Washington, D.C., native who has worked for the past three Republican presidential nominees....

Can't seem to recall his name ever coming up as a serious advisor to Mitt Romney nor John McCain. And I'm pretty sure Karl Rove was managing the rodeo for Dubya.

So who the hell is Danny Diaz? Sounds like the GOPe version of Tommy Vietor.

Danny must have driven the van when Vietor was unavailable.

[Luke21]

Well said. This guy has been a beltway guy all his life, worked for McCain, the RNC, and McCain. Yeah, a real conservative...just more of the same.

[Cboldt]

Guitar player, did some really sweet stuff for Donald Fagan and Walter Becker / Steely Dan.

Oh, wait, different Danny. Sorry.

““Danny Diaz, a 39-year-old Washington, D.C., native who has worked for the past three Republican presidential nominees”

So he knows how to lose more than he knows how to win. The guy who lost to obama. Twice.

Great pick there, Jeb!

[SaveFerris]

Yawn. No way I’ll vote for this leftist.

[lowbridge]

“According to the article, he’s been involved in the last three GOP presidential campaigns, so not a great track record.”

Hey, its not everyone who loses to the worst president in history...twice. Jeb sure knows how to pick them!

Reminds me of Bob Dole in 1996 hiring the same people who lost to clinton in 1992.

Danny Diaz is the Communications Director for the Republican National Committee. Most recently, Diaz served as Deputy Communications Director for John McCain 2008. Prior to joining the John McCain 2008 campaign, Diaz served as Deputy Communications Director for the RNC.

a clear sign he’s making efforts to win back conservative voters

[TomGuy]

He probably wised up to the fact that the GOP cannot win without the conservative vote.

I just hope the conservatives are not gullible enough to fall for it a 3rd time -- after McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012. But the conservatives are persistent hangers-on -- Battered Conservatives Syndrome.

[jimbo123]

He worked on Romney’s losing campaign, too. Not just McCain’s losing campaign.

[jimbo123]

Diaz is not a conservative. He’s an RNC flunkee who helped John McCain and Mitt Romney lose.

The pool of consultants for presidential elections is relatively small. The pool of consultants involved in winning presidential elections is even smaller.

Each election cycle, wannabes hire from those pools. Consultants in those pools work for whoever pays them. They work for Dems. They work for Pubbies. They work for the paycheck. If they are lucky enough, they got on the team of the election winner, and their stock/worth/value astronomically increases for the next presidential election.

In the interim, they work as consultants for FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
