By the time major party donors gathered in Dallas in late May for a meeting of the Republican Governors Association’s executive roundtable, the overwhelming sentiment was that Jeb Bush was less formidable than many thought he was going to be, according to several participants. Some flatly stated that they did not believe he could win the nomination.

He's always been a weak candidate. He lost his first run for FL gov and barely squeaked thru the latter two times. If he hadn't been a son of a former president and the brother of a sitting one he probably would have lost those two times as well. Jeb's all name and no game.

Jeb is the problem. For himself and others.

Let’s see, he’s basing his run for the White House on importing even more illegal aliens,giving them all sorts of handouts and benefits,and telling Americans they have to pay for it all. He then tells the primary voters that they need to get on board and vote for him period. When the voters say no thanks he says he doesn’t need them or need to listen to them and they don’t matter. It’s all about what he wants and that’s it. Hmmm a real stumper ain’t it?

Charlie Crist and his wealthy lefty queer backers in FL. Crist was mentored by Jeb as an example of his “inclusiveness” that literally no-one in FL wanted. They wanted jobs.

The enviro-whacks and Jeb got along with Crist’s help. The family situation does not help a Republican alleged conservative. If he changed parties and ran against Hills— he’d win the nomination. The dems loved Crist’s multiple switches, and the fact he’s bigtime queer, known all over.
This is a conservative country—

Find the Reagan democrats— the working people still trying to work, and who are conservatives all along the way. The demographics are there, except for the RINO/Chamber of Crap connections of two bit brokers. That is the problem, and of course the banks who are “above it all” with their lies. It is a strange world. Normal people need to take over— now.

““The Bushes have always underestimated the depth of the base’s dissatisfaction with their policies, and they take the criticism personally,” Laura Ingraham,”

Ain’t it the truth?

As soon as Carson implodes and The Huckster opens his mouth Cruz will zoom to the lead.

GO CRUZ

his middle-of-the-road positions on immigration and education have come off more as out of step with the base of his party than shrewdly pragmatic.

Middle of the road???

He believes in a United States with no borders. Why doesn't he propose annexing Mexico?

He believes in Common Core. Who, exactly, benefits when every last high school graduate in the United States can neither think nor communicate?

He's a global warmist. The global warming theory is the greatest theory ever in human reasoning. It has everything...except rising temperatures.

What IS Jeb's point in wanting to be President? Doesn't he think Obama will finish the destruction of the country?

It's hard to believe his campaign makes everyone want to throw up.

Jeb “Act of Love” Bush was dead the moment he declared his allegiance to an illegal invading army and showed that his intentions are much like Barack Obama's - to destroy the US as it now exists.

Maybe when he said illegal immigration was an act of love. :-)

Or maybe when his wife lied to customs over her jewelry, and nothing was done. 100 shades of Clinton privilege.

Read the entire article for more laughs!

Second the motion. I got the impression that here is a guy who has covered every base on an unstoppable, inevitable drive for the Presidency he is truly due...well, except for one. Apparently the voters are supposed to be involved somehow too? Who knew?

I’m paraphrasing, but I remember towards the end of the dustup between Bush and Clinton, Jeb famously said, “We’re screwed. It’s not that America hates the President, they’re just tired of him and want him to go away.”

That, in a nutshell, is exactly how America feels about the Bush family in general. Two in living memory is enough.

Sit down Jeb — or run for Senate — but give up any idea that you can be elected President. It’s not going to happen.

Jeb should not have put on the clown outfit and stuck his foot in his mouth. Maybe it was a act of CLOWN LOVE!
