Steve Schmidt: Donald Trump 'emasculating' Jeb Bush
Politico ^ | 8/31/15 | NICK GASS

Posted on 08/31/2015 5:59:21 AM PDT by jimbo123

Donald Trump is "emasculating" former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with his attacks and his performance in state and national polling, prominent Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said Monday.

"Look, Jeb Bush was a very successful governor, he's a thoughtful man, he was a good, conservative governor. But every day, Donald Trump is emasculating Jeb Bush, and Republican primary voters are not going to default to the establishment candidate who is being weakened by these attacks that go unresponded to."

-snip-

Breaking down the results of the latest Iowa polling on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Schmidt remarked upon the strong performance of candidates without prior experience in public office.

"When you add it all up, 54 percent for the non-establishment candidates, and you look at the establishment candidates who are running there right now, and I think their whole conception of the race is off," he added. "Their whole sense of the mood of the country is off."

That was 2007.

Not much left to emasculate, so that is not really an accurate statement. The GOPe should face it, the submissive white male Republican model ain’t selling this year.

And Jeb has no one to blame but himself....he’s carefully cultivated this “reasonable” and “serious” kind of effeminate personality to pander to the soccer moms and so on - and now many of the soccer moms have come alive and decided they want a real man, not a metrosexual poseur.

George W Bush famously ignored the merciless bashing he took from dems and the media. The “architect” Rove believes that was a mistake.

Look for Jebby Boy to very soon, come out swinging his purse and having a hissy fit.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.

Because he was afraid of crossing the death culture.

Trump isn’t “emasculating” Bush. He’s just pointing out the obvious.

The Donald has called John Elliott Bush “low-energy”, which I suppose is code for “loser”.

And it is starting to stick. Jeb can plod along for the next year or so, but it will make no difference at the convention.

If The Donald is not nominated by delegate count alone, he certainly should be nominated by acclamation.

Jeb may or may not be relevant in a Trump Administration.

[”Their whole sense of the mood of the country is off.”]

That’s because they are tone-deaf and haven’t been serving the citizens of the USA for several decades now.

And we’ve had enough.

Probably did it as an act of love. Surprised he said it in English.

The submissive white male is the model of the new American man. At every turn the progressives have been successfully attacking America’s strengths. Strong independent competitive males had to be neutered.

I don’t know Jeb Bush and don’t follow his doings very closely.

But his apparent decision to embrace Latino culture and language and put U.S. culture and language on the back burner makes me think that his non-assimilating wife Columba emasculated him years ago.
