They forgot the most important reason.....YEB IS AS DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCK
Well that was certainly, uhm, optimistic. ;’)
Lots of xanax I bet.
Their missing the primary reason Bush doesn’t excite the base......he’s not a leader....he’s an administrator....
He’s a nice guy....a decent man....but not a leader....
Trump for any of his faults, is a leader.....
6:) Heb Bush has been assured by the GOPe/RNC that he will be the candidate no matter what.
"Never forget that
unlike that Terri, whatever her name was,
I have time and water."
....I think not.
Nah, no reason to worry, just sit there comfortably as the leader of the pack, Jeb. Everything is just fine for your anointment as Hilary’s competition for the final leg - she did include an invitation to the inauguration in this deal, right?
I think Bush realizes he has zero chance anyway. It’s not going to be Trump, even though Trump has pledged to spend $1 billion of his own money to get elected, something that usually means that Mr. Deep Pockets is going to be the candidate. Jeb may have GOPe money, but Trump has his own (he was born into a wealthy family to begin with) and is willing to spend it - that’s how Romney got to be the candidate.
However, I think Trump is such an egomaniacal blustering nobody that he won’t last, and probably Bush will outlast him. But who’s going to be next? I think Kasich (Mr. Boredom) believes he has a chance. It won’t be any of the good candidates (Jindal, Cruz or Fiorina) because the GOP never picks good candidates.
>>> In this reading, Bushs amped-up attacks on Trump look more like a calculated strategy than a sign of panic. .... A two-man race is good for Jeb. <<<
Whatever! I don’t care if they photoshop Jeb! or call him Caitlyn, I won’t vote for him.
Besides, the five reasons listed are all ‘conventional wisdom’ by the usual suspect (i.e., high-paying consultants). In case anybody pays any attention, this hasn’t been a ‘conventional’ pre-primaries. They can argue with (and really hope for) the past examples of early favorites fading away. We’ll see if Trump implodes or not.
Jeb is one of those people, though no fault of his own, who just looks perpetually like a mean High School Principal with the personality of a wet mop. He certainly didn’t inherit any of the Bush charm.
I think the only thing that might help him at this point is when he makes his obligatory trip to the border he should take an anchor family and throw back across the border screaming: “...and DON’T COME BACK!” lol
I choose door number 1 - Jeb is a boring political hack that is out of touch for 5,000 Alex.
Yeah, I saw quite a few Republicans that were a bit against Trump turn on twitter to Trump.
But, again, all that matters is what people think in Feb. 2016.
Bush needs to read the new NYT article out tonight - Trump leads amoung every GOP demographic - women, college age, no college, etc. Trump will be almost impossible to beat.
1) Because
2) He
3) Knows
4) It's
5) Fixed.
I don’t know, scares me. All those uninformed voters watching their tvs, this is their only source of information. I think that’s how Romney finally pulled it off.
Hope I’m wrong.
The only reason he wouldn’t panic is that he is as stupid as he looks and sounds.
I would find it very difficult to vote for JEB! maybe impossible.
GOP-E manipulation of the primary system.
