Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush huddled in secret with a handful of reporters as he’s slipping in the polls ahead of the next debate here on Wednesday evening, Breitbart News has learned. Bush met in private for an off-the-record meeting on Tuesday with RealClearPolitics’ Rebecca Berg, the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, Fox News’ John Roberts and CNN’s S.E. Cupp. A Republican political insider told Breitbart News:
Two reporters complained to me today that their editors and producers forced them to attend an off the record pre-debate meeting with Jeb Bush, who is in single digits in all national and state polls. I was also told that the meeting was so low energy and boring that one reporter described it as a ‘snooze siesta.’ Jeb wavered for five days on whether to hold the gathering but then decided that it would be a mistake not to try and spin tomorrow’s loss which will be both in form and substance. The good news is that Jeb spoke to an audience which doubled his last campaign event.
Bush spokesman Tim Miller didn’t immediately return a request for comment, nor did the other attendees or representatives for them. Bush has virtually collapsed in recent polls as Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has taken an even more commanding lead while Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are all ahead of Bush in recent polling. Bush’s drop in polling has coincided with his decision to use the foreign language of Spanish on the campaign trail rather than speaking English—something Trump has criticized Bush for. Bush using Spanish rather than English puts him on the wrong side—and Trump on the right side—of an issue that polls extraordinarily well among all Americans, Republican, Democrat, and independent.

The mirror test. LOL!
???....mine or yours?
All Trump has to do is bring this up early in the debate and anything Heb says will be seen as scripted and rehearsed if not fed to him by the reporters.
This is gonna get ugly.
Jebuardo meets with Fox, CNN, etc, prior to debate.
Translation = They all think the fix is in.
Reality = Trump is going to ‘fix’ Jebbie’s little red wagon, but good.
There will be pain.
There will be weeping.
There will be excruciating embarrassment.
‘Pobrecito’ Indeed.
Yep. I sent him the link via Twitter. I always keep Trump informed. I also minister to him.
That’s an understatement.
Behold the Elitist Political Class aligned with the media against Trump and We The People. Comments and/or predictions?
They’re giving him the questions and his answers in advance.
I wonder if Jeb! can remember them.
CNN is spending the day trashing Trump, which is their “preview” of the debate tonight. I pray that God gives Trump the right words to say.
______________________________________________
I’ve been praying that exact same thing for Trump!
I believe if this turns into a hit job by the moderators and or the GOPe candidates like Fiorina, it will pi$$ even more people off, and bring them over to Trump.
Go Trump!
I have a feeling either Trump is going to come out of this looking really bad, or the rest of the field is.
“Donald Trump has taken an even more commanding lead while Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are all ahead of Bush in recent polling.”
Hey, GOPe!
We’re gunning for you and we are going to take you out.
(politically speaking, of course...)
What tine, Eastern, are the debates?
jebbie was just making sure that HIS COMMENT would be in Spanish.
Yeah. I don’t know which way it’s going to go.
“I believe if this turns into a hit job by the moderators and or the GOPe candidates like Fiorina, it will pi$$ even more people off, and bring them over to Trump.”
I hope he tells each one of them that he’s not firing them, but the voters are.This cannot end like the Mississippi Senate election did. The GOPe needs to die completely!
Part of the “fix is in”.
The major candidates have several 'rapid response' people on-staff so it's always revealing when they refuse to confirm the already-known.
Hey, Jeb A Pinata stuffed with cash (US) will sustain you in the news. Otherwise, Adios Marikon Jeb.You might run for the mayor of Tijuana.
