On Monday, news broke that Danny Diaz will be the campaign manager when former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) launches his expected White House bid next Monday.
As The Wall Street Journal reported, the position was originally "expected" to go to David Kochel, another operative who will instead serve as Bush's chief strategist.
Business Insider had several conversations with aides to other Republican 2016 presidential campaigns who said they believe this staff switchup is evidence the Bush campaign is changing its strategy amid disappointing poll numbers and failed efforts to eliminate opponents.
"The strategy they were previewing with everybody is already changing substantially, and they haven't even announced their campaign yet," a rival 2016 GOP operative said of Bush's team.
Overall, the operatives who talked with Business Insider said they thought Bush was abandoning efforts to run a positive, above-the-fray campaign. Last year, when he began publicly discussing a potential candidacy, Bush vowed to have a "hopeful, optimistic message" and said he would campaign with "joy in my heart." This month, however, Bush has launched a series of attacks on his Republican rivals that some observers have pegged as a sign of a strategic shift.

Unfortunately, his DREAM of allowing every illegal from anywhere getting citizenship isn't an 'optimistic' message. It is an obituary for this country.
Jeb is providing a service. He’s shining a light on the real nature of the Bush dynasty.
I won’t rest easy ‘til he’s relegated to “also ran” status.
GO CRUZ!!!
I totally agree.
If Ted Cruz is not on the ballot, I shall write in his name.
One way or another I shall vote for Cruz.
Perfect post. Took the words right out of my mouth.
When Cruz explains his agreement on the trade bill to us, I will consider him. Till then, not a chance. Agreeing with Obama on anything is like being a little bit pregnant...it is what it is. The trade thing is going to come back and bite us in the backside I predict. If you recall, when his majesty was asked why he was not doing more to remove guns, he said they were working behind the scenes to do some things. Note the trade agreement (treaty) was in the works for six years. That is probably the behind the scenes he was referring to.
He and Clinton are both floundering, who would have thought.
Pray America is waking
I feel that in this case, Cruz is thinking beyond the horror of the Obama administration and unless he can convince others (besides me) that this is his thinking, I’m afraid we will lose an excellent president in not supporting him. Sorry, but as I have said previously, I am going to adopt the democrat (yech) unabashed loyalty to one man and pray that it works.
The only thing that would make these Bush losing his “front runner” status articles better would be an endless bucket of hot buttered popcorn.
You forgot Karl (aka “Jabba”) Rove and Fox News...
What front runner status? This buffoon is just gonna fire a bunch of DC RINO consultants and hire a bunch of other DC RINO consultants; he will be getting the same bad advice, but maybe just paying more.
Well said.
Everyone here needs to stay focused on Cruz and Walker, don’t be led astray by all the paid supporters of Trump, Fiorina, the Huckster and the other losers trying to divide us.
Stay focused on the REAL conservative candidates
See the thread “Cruz on TPA,TPP, and Immigration”. It has a Town Hall question and answer interview in which Cruz deals with this on video.
This is all you need to know:
“In an interview with American Public Media’s Marketplace, President Obama says fast-tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade bill would help him advance his climate change agenda, which he said is “one of my highest priorities.”
