Jeb Bush: "Despondent, Depressed & Angry At The World."
DC Whispers ^ | December 18, 2015 | by DCWhispers

He was supposed to win the GOP nomination easily and just six months ago, it appeared he would do just that. He had tens of millions of donor dollars at the ready, the approval of the GOP Establishment, and a successful stint as governor of one of the most important swing states in the country.

Nothing went as planned.

SNIP

A D.C. Whispers source painted the Bush campaign with the following colors:

"He just doesn't have it and he's not a good enough politician to fake it. He's also suffering from eight years of Barack Obama faking it and voters getting wise. Most everyone sees the weakness, the phoniness, the sense of entitlement and that just won't stand up to voter sentiment this election cycle. People are pissed. Ironically, so is Jeb Bush. He's angry at everything and everyone right now. Despondent, depressed, and angry at the world. He is having a very difficult time grasping the reality of someone like Donald Trump at the top of the polls and seeing himself in single-digits. Jeb isn't his brother. Jeb is a cry-baby and that part of his character is really coming through the last few months as he's struggled to get anyone to pay attention to his version of things. People want tough and that's something Jeb Bush has never been."

If Jeb ran in 2000 he might have done well. This is a different time, the bush name is a curse and his potential voter pool is full of people who don’t want his brand of politics anymore.

Kasich showed how dumb he was in the last debate.

Rand Paul laid out the argument against Middle East intervention by asking where, after a decade there, where are the “moderate Muslims”. Paul said if they are there they can’t hold power or that they don’t exist at all. His argument made a lot of sense.

Moderator turned to Kasich and asked how he’d handle the Middle East and Kasich immediately went to the “engage moderate Muslims” line that Paul had just annihilated.

Completely tone deaf, didn’t address what Paul said at all etc...showed how big an idiot he is.

Why did Reagan even pick Bush to be his running mate ? Were there no warning signs ?

Well the first thing he said when the campaign began was “screw you guys. Even if I lose the primary I’m still getting the nomination! “ how did they think that would go over?

I feel a bit sorry for the guy - he’s been raised as the grandson and son of very powerful people, his brother rose to become President (like Dad), and he was even a reasonably good governor of Florida. The latter reinforced the sense of entitlement that he had - and he’s never known otherwise. He’s probably never faced real adversity and been tough as nails to overcome it...and it shows.

Nevertheless, I have NEVER wanted this guy to become President, and I’m glad (ecstatic, actually) that his campaign is a failure. Better yet, he was THE establishment candidate, and his failure is that of the establishment to pull the wool over our eyes AGAIN. FINALLY, we have wised up. His months-long meltdown has personified the arrogant, entitlement mentality of our “betters” - the spoiled Ivy League jerks who rely on connections for everything, and who think that just because their families have been powerful and successful that they have a right to rule us. Well, phuck that noise!

I agree with BenLurkin:

No more Bushes.

No more Clintons.

And no more “community organizers”!

Jeb is a cry-baby

This comes across loud and clear. It's what I see every time I have to look at or hear him.

” “The first George Bush is the reason were in this mess

Tossed the Reagan agenda the first day he was elected”

Glad I am not the only one who has been saying this...for over 20 years.

I regard Bush Senior’s “Kinder gentler “ speech to be one of THE biggest turning points in our history. I remember when I heard him say it (very soon after he took office) and thinking “This dumb ass just rejected Reagan and everything that was the reason we elected him “. And then I saw what he did when he took over. And then he caved on a tax increase. And then I knew the Republican party was dead and useless. And that we were screwed. I just did not, at the time, realise just how MUCH we were screwed.”


I could not agree more. To compound it, the guy just let half a million of the best trained, best equipped soldiers in the world, led by one of the greatest tactical geniuses that ever commanded a large army - a force that NO NATION, EVER could have stopped without tactical nukes - sit around with their thumbs up their rumps while Saddam Hussein murdered tens of thousands of Kurds (whom we promised autonomy in return for allying with us against Hussein) with helicopter gunships and gas. A more shameful display of impotence and immorality I’ve never seen in my life - something that Reagan would NEVER have done.

To top it all off, he showed how utterly detached he was by expressing amazement at the bar code scanner at some store where he went to buy Christmas gifts - YEARS after they had been introduced pretty much everywhere.

I thought, during the ‘88 campaign, that Bush would be Reagan’s 3rd term, that he had learned over the past 8 years of working closely with Reagan about what actually worked, and also a bit about the dignity of the average person (because that is who Reagan was, at heart). Nope, old Country Club Bush reappeared, and we got Clinton as a result. Had he been more Reaganesque, he’d have been a 2-termer, and Hillary Clinton would be a disbarred, ex-con, ex-wife of some no-name philandering governor of a hick state. Stupid, arrogant bastard.

While there were/are some very good characteristics that members of the Bush family have as individuals (for example, they treat those who serve them with incredibly great respect), true humility isn’t one of them - they believe that they have been placed here to rule over us. I hope that this campaign ends the family involvement in power at the national level. The Adams, Harrison, Roosevelt and Kennedy families had their decades in the sun, and then their time passed. Well, now the same is happening to the Bush family, and I rejoice. We are not England, to be ruled by an aristocracy of privileged families.

“The boy is a bloomin’ idiot. You do NOT come out in the beginning and tell certain voters they are not needed.”

That, IMHO, was his first colossal blunder and set the tone for his current implosion.

If Jeb had ever bothered to go out and talk to real people he wouldn’t look like a fool today.

BINGO

One lesson people *should* have learned by now from the two most recent POTUS, and that is, when confronted by defeat, double down. GWB did that against a hostile congress after the Demagogic Party regained control, Zero does that and has done that since day one. Trump and Cruz also roll that way.

Bush doubled down on the Iraqi Troop Surge of '07 and won.
