Slipping far back in polls, can Jeb Bush bounce back in the next debate?
Washington Post ^ | 9/13/15 | Ed O'Keefe

In recent days, Jeb Bush has spent time in his comfort zones: Kennebunkport, Maine. New Hampshire. And Miami.

A four-day Labor Day break at his family compound was followed by a quick stop in North Carolina to unveil his tax reform plan before two days of campaigning in the Granite State — a state he needs to win and where he always seems to campaign with more ease. He attended a raucous rally in Miami on Saturday to open a new campaign field office — just miles from his national headquarters — to help him win Florida's Republican primary in March.

Buoyed by the sight of family members and old friends, Bush used a visual aid in speaking about the current state of the Republican race.

"The party that I believe in..." he said as he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a red "Reagan Bush '84" T-shirt. Getting his point, the crowd drowned him out with cheers.

Since the start of the year, Bush has held political events in New Hampshire and Florida most often, according to a Washington Post review of his schedule. But winning the GOP nomination will require time spent in less familiar places, such as Iowa, where he earned just 3 percent support in a poll released Sunday.

It’s gotten beyond insulting to US voters. It couldn’t be more obvious that we can’t stand Jeb. The more people see of him the lower his percent goes. Yet the elite are still trying to force-feed us Jeb vs hillary!

WOW!

Maybe his campaign’s war chest is starting to hurt.

Instead of zipping around on private jets, Bush is now taking some “commercial flights!”

(Man of the people) -— recall that McCain flew commercial and carried his own bag?

Trump is totally inside Jeb's head. That cripples him.

a quick stop in North Carolina to unveil his tax reform plan

Never heard of that plan. And this article doesn't really talk about it. Does Bush actually have positions? Or does him simply "campaign"?

I hope Jebbie bounces back to Miami for good after the next debate.

Perhaps he can make himself useful picking up trash on Florida’s beautiful beaches.

It's funny how all the major leftwing publications are so desperate that yeb! be the nominee. My candidate,Cruz, is running about the same, percentage-wise but he is being all but ignored by the media.

That's okay. He's still filling venues and playing a smart game. The trend is his friend.

Only if Jeb gains back those 50 pounds will he receive a bounce, as he is walking toward his podium.
