Jeb Bush has never “struggled” for anything in his life.

The left is sure trying hard to carry Bush over the threshold so Hillary can have her way with him. Unfortunately, he is acting like a blushing bride and needs to be wooed some more.

Not sure if Bush, his campaign people, the establishment, the left is aware, but after 2008 and 2012, it just isn’t going to happen. Blacks will not vote for him, hispanics will not vote for him in force, the LGBTLMNOP groups won’t vote for him, the NAGS won’t vote for him and the unions won’t vote for him. But then again, they won’t vote for any Republican so it is moot.

However, the only people that can carry the Republican candidate over the finish line are conservative men, their families and friends. And they will no longer vote for the GOPe. Which means the only candidate that can win the white hut in 2016 is Cruz, possibly Walker or Mike Lee if he decides to throw his hat in the ring. Everyone else is Hillary fodder.

Because he is pro-amnesty and common core, when most of his base is not.

Republicans have accepted that the country is will be minority European-Americans, in fact they strive for that end They believe that their future as the junior branch of the Democrat Party and as its Designated Opposition wing is only secure if they simply separate out and nullify the political influence of the conservative and European-American population who they believe will be forced into a swap in social and political position with the Democrat minorities in the near future.

The totalitarian State is upon us. Power is in the Party. The killings have not begun but they will.

Republicans think they understand history- the history of Communism in Russia and the inevitability of the triumph of Communism. They do not understand that in the history they think they understand, they are analogues of the Mensheviks and the Trotskyites and ultimately will serve as stars in the show trials to come..

Why Jeb Bush is struggling?
He does not support America ever.

The Rino elites are not picking the next president or even the next Republican candidate. They are implementing the decisions of the Democrat Party.

Designated Opposition ...

I fully understand and agree somewhat on the outcome, perhaps not so much as being rooted in corollaries to recent communism states.

I call them the "Loyal-but-not-too-vocal Opposition". Almost like that described in Parliament, but with a much deeper connection to Russian-like politburo functionaries. Those functionaries in government that have their power, perks and their modern day Dachas (in all their forms).

To me, they (Republican establishment) have been number two so long, their actions and reactions when they are in some modicum of control is almost Pavlovian. They know they are comfortable in being second-tier and I almost believe they relish being in control of a Congress but still having to deal with a Democrat President. The very few times when they had the triumvirate, all they did was spend more money and cower to media and appease ranting Democrats.

In short, they do not know how to govern. They cannot govern because they have no morals or convictions save only what they need to feign to get reelected.

Bush keep trying to convince people he is right on immigration and Common Core instead of taking a position to represent the views of the voters.

He needs to bow out while he still has some dignity. Instead he is apparently about to get dirty by hiring a new campaign manager who has a reputation for slinging mud.

Bush thinks he right on immigration because he is a Bush, in other words his opinion matters more than the voters... His related family has deep roots in Mexico and to oppose open borders would be against his family core values...

As for Common Core, I do think he will eventually throw that abomination under the bus to show he can modify his position more toward the center...

If a candidate takes position that does not represent the voters, as long as they have good solid reasoning backed up with facts, I really don't have a problem with that. Since we are a representative republic and not a democracy which is a fancy name for mob rule....

Jeb is struggling because he’s a strong liberal candidate who for some inexplicable reason chose to run as a republican.

That would describe some of the Republicans. I fully believe, though that the leadership is, are fact, Democrat agents. I don't think Boehner or McConnell or McCarthy, etc, can be explained any other way. I was totally shocked at first but, on reflection, realized it was inevitable when the one who seemed the unbreakable rock broke on obamatrade and on Iran. NSA and other databanks work to incorporate them all into the Democrat project. Te number of people who can successfully resist the blackmail inherent in access to those databanks is too small to govern more than a small town.

I don’t think they are the kind of Democrat Agent that intentionally starts out as such. To me it is one of a slow moral corruption and the rarified, cloistered atmosphere of the DC environment of pandering, public images, deals and the eventual personal profit that makes all of these bastards rich, far richer than they’d have ever been had they actually had to work and deal with every day Americans on a personal level.

Morally corruptible people with a knack for lying and self promotion that seems to work well in those few times they come back to their districts and states to campaign for reelection.

Sometimes, I think that maybe, just maybe we shouldn’t spend money on an improved border fence, but perhaps build a fortress wall around DC and siege all those bastards inside. Just ignore their pathetic asses and get back to our own business. We could build our own damn fences. We don’t need them.

They didn’t start out that way but at some point they made their deal with the Democrat Party. They are Democrats and they know they are Democrats. They have their designated positions in the hierarchy as the Democrat Managers of the Republican wing of the Party.

Yes. Probably. Effectively. However, they would bristle with indigence at that claim, of course, after asking their Democrat handlers if it's okay.

Effectively and probably irretrievably we are existing under one-party rule even now. The massive importation of thirlders is to overwhelm and eviscerate the middle class quickly. These people are in a hurry now. If they are thwarted the guns will come out.
