The weaknesses of Jeb Bush at a glance:
1. Bush — like it or not, Americans in general and conservatives in particular don’t like any hints of dynasties. This third Bush will clearly overshadow a second Clinton.
2. Terri Schiavo - Today is anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s death. Her death is part of Jeb Bush’s record. There couldn’t be a more telling time (day) for Jeb Bush’s aspirations for the presidency to be put in front of America.
3. Amnesty. Like his brother before him, and like all the Chamber of Commerce, Jeb Bush is pro-amnesty for illegals. Little more than a week ago, Jeb Bush was quoted as saying, “Jeb Bush: “People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers....””
These are only the top 3 that tell me Jeb Bush is a non-starter.
His name now smacks of royalty, pro-lifers are rightly suspicious of him, and conservatives as a group do not support illegal amnesty.
Conservative leaders for Jeb Bush? The smallest club in the world.
Great analysis and spot on.
Bush is a joke. However, I think he is the GOP front runner as he will have the backing and we have just as many low info voters as the Dims. We also have no conservative leaders atm. Oh we have some prominent conservatives, just no leaders.
And if they are successful in nominating Jebby, I wonder if we’ll even carry Utah. You can also bet on losing the House and the Dims getting 60+ in the Senate especially if Hildabeast runs.
2014 is pretty meaningless. It’s 2016 that is huge. And what is the GOPs answer to that? A war on Conservatives.
Again, spot on analysis by the OP here.
Jeb also pats himself on the back and claims he did great things in Florida’s public education system. While Florida’s graduation rates are climbing (barely) it remains in the bottom 10% when compared to other states.
Thud-bump. It will be the penultimate act of betrayal and force, if the GOP-E manage to thrust Jeb Bush on an unwilling party faithful, something they have done at least 13 times since 1892.
Time to snap their string. Time for conservative voters to find someone else to rally behind, instead of the kept seraglio of Sheldon Adelson and other rich RiNO's.
