When asked to pinpoint where Jeb Bushs presidential effort began running into trouble, many confidants utter a single word: Dallas.
Mike Murphy, Bushs political alter ego, decided early on to hold regular senior staff meetings at an unusual location: a Hyatt hotel inside the terminal at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The idea was that it was a central and relatively inexpensive gathering place for a team scattered from Los Angeles, where Murphy lives, to Miami, where the would-be candidate resides.
It went fine at first but quickly became an awkward routine. Donors and other Republicans found the setup ungainly for a campaign-in-waiting that was supposed to be based in Florida.
Older Bush hands also grew unhappy with rapid hiring by new advisers, and relationships frayed, according to Bush associates. And as the former Florida governor began to founder on the trail and in the polls, the discussions flared into arguments about how to divvy up money and resources between Bushs allied super PAC and his official campaign.

When he murdered Terri Schiavo.
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 bases dissatisfaction with their policies, and they take the criticism personally, Laura Ingraham,”
Ain’t it the truth?
Naaaah. The Bush family doesn’t care about the good of the country they just care about Bush power

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.
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.
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!
As soon as Cruz is brought up on charges he will zoom to jail.
GO CRUZ VOTING FOR TPP AND TPA!
