Who had the worst week in Washington? Jeb Bush.
Washington Post ^ | 8/27/15 | Chris Cillizza

When you’ve got one foot in a bear trap, the natural reaction is to scramble to get your other foot to safe ground. But what if, in your panic, you step in another bear trap?

That’s what Jeb Bush did this past week. Trying to make amends with irate Latino voters after he used the term “anchor babies” to describe the U.S.-citizen children of undocumented immigrants who cross the border to give birth, he unleashed this gem by way of “explanation”:

“What I was talking about was the specific case of fraud being committed where there’s organized efforts — and frankly it’s more related to Asian people — coming into our country, having children in that organized effort, taking advantage of a noble concept with birthright citizenship,” Bush said during a visit to the border in McAllen, Tex., on Monday.

Aha! So it’s “Asian people” who are the problem. Got it.

That settles it. Jeb should stay the heck out of Washington and we have to help him. It’s the brotherly thing to do and we should do it with joy...

The difference between Jeb and Trump is that Jeb accepts the presence of the PC bear traps littering his path and tries to walk in such a way as to accomodate them. Trump sees the bear traps for what they are and sweeps them aside to clear his path.

The Fox “ Panel casino has him the favorite to win the GOP. I would love to put real cash with them on that prediction.

If it wasn’t for Trump, Jeb would be the next in line to get the GOP nomination.

For now, all he can do is pray GOP voters get a change of heart and decide not to bet the farm on The Donald.

He has until February to find out if it will happen.

¡Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser.
The RNC has a playbook that can nominate the most unlikeable candidates, see Romney and McCain.
They flooded the field to allow ¡Yeb! to slide through with the low numbers he’s polling, but then Trump happened.

The Cheap Labor Express has spent billions to make sure the citizens cannot stop them from flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.

They own the RNC/GOP.

Trump may be the only way to break the stranglehold of The Cheap Labor Express on our political system.
