Kasie Hunt: Bush Camp Getting 'More and More Pessimistic'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/16/2016 3:53:45 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Could the end be near for Jeb Bush's presidential campaign? Would a back-in-the-pack finish in South Carolina be the final blow? Kasie Hunt seems to suggest so.

MSNBC's Hunt, appearing on today's With All Due Respect, sounded an ominous note for Bush fans. Reporting that the Bush campaign has been disappointed by the lack of a bump coming off a strong debate performance, Hunt said "to a certain extent there's a little bit of throwing up of the hands . . . The sense I'm getting from the people I talk to in the Bush circle is getting more and more pessimistic."

Yep, the Bushes are sure intelligent people, picking up on what everyone else knew eight months ago.

Their head was in the sand if they had any optimism since early fall. It’s been an unmitigated disaster, and he was so far down the pack, there really has been no path. If Trump and Cruz both collapsed, he would pick up virtually no votes. Rubio would have skyrocketed as at least a compromise candidate. Hell, I’d vote for Kasich before Bush. He can at least put a few sentences together and engage with a crowd, despite his many weaknesses.

If they had a dozen functional brain cells over there, they would have never attempted such an idiotic effort.

The idea of another "Bush" presidency was dead before it started.

Let's face it, they - we - already knew. The phone tree is only one level deep.

The fact that Jeb Bush is about as popular as a child molester right now seems to have finally gotten through to these people.

So, why are the “professional” Bush campaign people still pushing a dead horse down the track? Why is he still pushing himself?

How can they see going from 4% to 54% of the delegates?

his brother should slap Jeb! for dragging their mothers 90-year old azz out for an exercise in futility. I mean seriously, what if something had happened to her? It was stupid.
