Jeb Bush Panicking to Discover Voters Just Aren’t That into Him
Reason ^ | 6/9/15 | Matt Welch

Posted on 06/09/2015 9:30:36 AM PDT by jimbo123

In my July-issue Editor's Note column released earlier today, I expressed some skepticism about National Review writer Charles C.W. Cooke's conservatarian project, partly on grounds that libertarians should be wary of a political party that keeps on coughing up government-growing Republicans with the last name "Bush." So it's only fair to point out that, according to the shrewd political Washington Examiner political columnist Byron York, Jeb Bush is floundering to the point of shaking up his campaign staff.

The remedying began Monday with word that Bush has shaken up his campaign before the campaign has even been formally announced. The Bush team sent out word that Danny Diaz, a respected, hard-charging Republican operative, will become the campaign's manager instead of Bush's original choice, the highly thought-of Iowa strategist David Kochel, who will move to another senior position in the campaign. […]

"[The donors] said that in January, Bush laid out a scenario of where he would be by now, and it has not remotely happened," [an adviser to the Bush campaign] recalled. "They said the plan was for Bush to use this period to emerge as frontrunner, and launch as decisive frontrunner with the model, interestingly enough, being George W. Bush in 1999. But that hasn't happened, obviously, and I expect this bloodletting is to show that they are aware and trying to take steps to address."

Now the muckrakers have taken on Bush's wife and her account of how she came to be Mrs. Bush. I don't think Bush is adroit enough to navigate the shark-filled waters, much less gain significant ground in the polls.

He’s a full amnesty supporting RINO and he wonders why the conservative dominant GOP electorate is rejecting him? Get out of the bubble Jeb.

Jeb, who convinced you that another lame Bush is appealing?

Oh wait, Karl Rove.

Good. The first president I could vote for was George Bush Sr. The only Republican presidents I’ve known are Bushes. I want to see a good Republican president who isn’t named Bush (that goes without saying) before I die.

I’m not optimistic about the direction of the US. I’ll be damned if I’ll vote for anybody who would continue that direction and I’m convinced Jeb would take that path.

The voters do not want to surrender their country to fraudulently documented foreigners who broke into the country.

That’s what Jebster wants you to vote for.

...

Jeb is the problem, but he puts the blame on, and punishes his underlings, which is the typical elitist behavior that makes us sick of the “same old thing” Jeb represents.

Well, Jeb, to find out if voters are receptive to you, you have to actually meet some, or least personally witness your staffers struggle in setting up meet-and-greets with people outside the Beltway. Even if Columba tells you, “Let them eat tamales!”

Any person (Jeb Bush) who believes in Marxist control over education ia EVIL or just DUMB-—a useful idiot. Common Core (NCLB—Goals 2000 etc) is just Mind Control over the proper emotions connected to misinformation by an elite, (pure brainwashing). Luciferean elite who want totalitarian control (happy slavery/Fichte 1810) so that our children are made incapable of critical thought which ONLY comes from Classical Education (which includes the Bible) (original sources)....not Howard Zinn’s version of the “truth”.

His version of EVERYTHING comes right out of the playbook of Marx-—including his desire to teach little boys to take “pride” in sodomizing others-——just like the culture of Afghanis.

His removal of Natural Law and Universal Truth from both our educational “system” and the public square (Government “Laws” is pure Marxism and evil.....either hs is a “useful idiot” or a Marxist. There is no other explanation for his stupid statements.

Deformation of our “Justice” (virtue) System into a Vice System and a brainwashing system “for the children” is pure evil and unconstitutional.

Jeb can shake up his staff until they pee lemonade, but that won’t make us actually *like* him either as a candidate or person.
