Rothenberg missed the elephant in the room.
The rule-of-law republicans were offended by Jeb describing a crime as “an act of love” during eight years of Obama’s lawless policies.
The protectionist and isolationist republicans were joined by unemployed republicans and those with friends facing job challenges in being offended that Jeb would support importing and keeping illegals who compete against real Americans for jobs.
The small government and pro-capitalist republicans were offended that Jeb supports the presence of 41 million immigrants, with no interest in the cost of education, welfare, Obamacare, and other government programs for them.
Who likes Jeb, besides him mom? Mostly the Chamber of Commerce republicans who want government to provide cheap labor for their businesses, and there just are not enough corrupt voters in the GOP for Jeb to win. He should have run as a democrat, where corruption and criminality are considered virtues.
I suspect most of them are getting their hats. Jeb has reached his sell-by date.
