His irrationality of his chances eerily reminds me of Adolph Hitler in his bunker those last days of WWII.
Yeb! just needs to go out and play in some heavy traffic. He’s just too damned stupid to be POTUS and we have had more than enough of the Bush Family.
Jeez-us! Why do they keep shoving this guy down our proverbial throats?
The positive here is that Jeb! is setting realistic goals for himself that he intends to keep. Go Bush!
Back during his father’s and his brother’s administrations the media reports on their polling numbers never seemed to grasp that a large proportion of those expressing disapproval did so from the “right”. Bush I was elected once on the coat tails of Reagan, and Bush II was barely elected twice in large part because he was fortunate enough to have a raving imbecile and a male gold digger cum fraudulent military “hero” as opponents. By 2008 the Bush “brand” was effectively destroyed and all the PAC money and denials in the world won’t bring it back, especially since this latest princeling is so laughably incompetent.
I should have thought that the editors at Politico would hire headline writers who know to not split the infinitive.
But, no such luck.
Strategically, that’s all he needs to do. The field is half gone, he only got 3 pct in Iowa and is polling at 10 in NH (showing progress), and he still has the GOPe bankrollers behind him if he starts to show some life. SC and NV will be the real tests, and he will likely drop out after Super Tuesday (March 1) if he hasn’t topped double digits yet (which means the GOPe will back their remaining top dog at the time).
