Jeb Bush’s foot-in-mouth problem
Washington Post ^ | 8/28/15 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 08/28/2015 8:23:15 AM PDT by jimbo123

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.

Jeb Bush has been stumping his way across the country, explaining what he would do as president. But nobody seems to understand what the heck he’s talking about.

In July, he said that “people need to work longer hours” as part of an economic recovery. Then he said his remarks had been misinterpreted.

A couple of weeks later he said “we need to figure out a way to phase out” Medicare. Then he complained that critics were taking his remarks out of context.

A week or so after that, he proclaimed that “I’m not sure we need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues.” Then he said he misspoke.

That controversy hadn’t died down when he started another by using the term “anchor babies” to describe the children of immigrants – and before long he was complaining that people were misconstruing these remarks, too.

Cut the guy a break.

It’s English as a second language.

Well. There are a lot of potential stalwart uniformed establishment Republican voters out there and he was supposed to rally and keep them in the stable. Problem is that so many of them speak only English, and his first language is Mexican it seems.

Jeb is desperately hoping SlowJoe will stay out of the race and allow Dems to vote him to the Republican nomination.

Otherwise, he’s toast.

They’re obviously misconstruing his misconstrued remarks. Or he’s evolving. Or something.

Wait a minute. What is Trump mispoke about cutting off funds for Women’s health? Where is Fox on this? Ohh , I forgot it’s “FAUX”
Bussh in not smart enough to do anything but take orders from theobamacare funding, Globalist and the ant-sovereigntists. I will stay home if the long shot occurred which I am confident will never happen.

What cracks me up is that Trump has taken control of Jeb’s campaign. Everywhere he goes, the media peppers him with “Trump said this, Trump said that .... what do you say?” He is constantly on the defense instead of being able to go on the offense. At one event, Jeb was outwardly & obviously peeved with this. He’s also getting flustered and making major mistakes, then digging the hole deeper. I don’t know who is advising/running his campaign, but they are doing a horrible job. Trump is keeping up the pressure and is riding Jeb mercilessly - whatever he does, Trump is on it like white on rice. Even his picking Eric Cantor for co-Vice Chair got a brutal but accurate twitter comment from Trump who can obviously get right on down to brass tacks in less than 140 characters.

Poooor Jeb, he was born with just one brain cell in his head. (a little Ann Richards there)

He seems to be running to be President of North Mexico.

Perhaps someone should tell him that illegal aliens can’t vote legally.

Maybe he’ll stop campaigning in a foreign language....

His campaign proudly announced Eric Cantor's endorsement yesterday. Look for the heavens to open and Yeb's pathway to power to begin to shine from here on out.

Ha!

More like head up ass syndrome with Jeb.

I doubt he is doing what he wants as far as staying in - some others are pulling the strings because they own him and he and they know it.

I hope that little backstabbing Weasel shows up at iYeb’s side at every event. It will only grow and solidify his attachment to the Establishment Failure known as the Washington Cartel.
