I chose this article to reflect on how similar the Deep State strategy was in 2016 as to how it is in the curent election cycle. Jeb Bush was chosen by the Deep State to be the Republican to face Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Election. Now the Deep State is desperately trying to put Joe Biden into the Democratic Nomination for essentially the same reasons: He can be controlled by the Soros/Clinton Machine. The Republican base had enough of the Bushes and ended up nominating President Trump, and the Deep State has fought to get him fired since he rode down the escalator. The Democratic Deep State is desperate to keep Bernie Sanders off of the stage, but I believe that they will fail.

Jeb Bush was chosen by the Deep State to be the Republican to LOSE to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Election.

BTW, anyone want to take a stab at what the "Deep State" really is? (Hint - same as the "Swamp" that needs draining.)

Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser for 2016, the only reason it didn’t happen that way was Donald Trump.

Jeb was chosen - and chosen by the same people - who chose Biden.

Just like Mitt Romney before him and John McCain before Mitt.

That is 3 losers in a row that the deep state picked for us.

Jeb Bush was a great governor. He screwed up on Terri Schiavo and went downhill from there.

He tried to become a chameleon and went into obscurity.

PMSNBC has been Fake News for a long time.
I remember when this came out.
I didn’t know anyone who was backing Jeb.
Met some backing Walker, Rubio, Forina and Cruz.
Never met or shared email with ANYONE backing Jeb.

Howard Dean was shoved aside as well

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Dean_2004_presidential_campaign

In the “Invisible Primary” of raising campaign funds, Howard Dean led the Democratic pack in the early stages of the 2004 campaign. Among the candidates, he ranked first in total raised ($25.4 million as of September 30, 2003)[2] and first in cash-on-hand ($12.4 million)...

Polling throughout the primary campaign consistently showed Dean either in first place, or second behind Dick Gephardt.

However, last minute surges by rivals John Kerry and John Edwards as well as negative campaigning between the Dean and Gephardt campaigns resulted in an 11th hour slump for both campaigns.

In a poll released by the Des Moines Register just before Caucus Day, Dean registered in third place with 20%, behind Kerry with 26%, and Edwards with 23%, but ahead of Dick Gephardt with 18%.[18] Throughout Caucus night, Dean was in a fight with Gephardt for third place in Iowa behind Kerry and Edwards. With 100% of precincts reporting, Kerry received 38%, Edwards received 32%, and Dean came in third with 18% while Gephardt finished in fourth with just 11% of caucus support.

On January 19, 2004, Dean’s campaign suffered a staggering blow when a last-minute surge by rivals John Kerry and John Edwards led to a disappointing third-place finish for Dean in the 2004 Iowa Democratic caucuses, representing the first votes cast in primary season. Dean’s public address that night was widely rebroadcast and portrayed as a media gaffe that ended his campaign.


He was too public with his leftist positions and he was made to step aside. He got a party gig out of it.

Jeb Bush 22% Scott Walker 17% Marco Rubio 14% Ben Carson 11% Mike Huckabee 9% Rand Paul 7% Rick Perry 5% Ted Cruz 4% Chris Christie 4% Carly Fiorina 2% Donald Trump 1% Lindsey Graham 1% John Kasich 1% Bobby Jindal 0% Rick Santorum 0% George Pataki 0%

At this point in time, I was a Cruzer, but Mrs. Alaska and my daughter were both Trumpsters, go figure, suburban wxmen liking Trump before me.

I argued logic with them, they told me, Trump was the only one with the balls to beat hildabutchbitch.

Who knew, my wxmen are smarter than me?

BTW, they will never let me forget which family members were in front of the curve.

Just for the record, I switched to Trump the day after the Chicago riots when Cruz dumped on Trump, and I dumped Cruz.

On that day, he not only turned me off, he lost millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of supporters.

Thanks Ted, Trump is the President, and you have been a loyal Senator.

Biden was just in it as part of the Ukraine impeachment ruse. Jeb was really expected to be the nominee.

Back then, conservatives couldn’t get over the fact that Trump had donated to Hillary’s earlier campaign. But I had heard him speak on shows like Savage Nation. Regardless of any other issue, on economics he was the most conservative candidate I’ve ever heard speak. Luckily the others eventually came around.
