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.

Not a bad person?

Don’t kid yourself pal.

1.) Terri Schiavo-Schindler. Jebuardo let that innocent woman die an excruciating death from dehydration and starvation while wringing his hands that he couldn’t “do” anything.

2.) Lehman Brothers.

In the coming debate, Jeb should speak exclusively in Spanish.

That should rocket him into the lead.

To boost campaign revenue, Jeb can turn the crank on a barrel organ, while Columba scampers around collecting coins.

Yes, this can be the beginning of the Jeb 2.0 campaign. He does so by crushing the other open-borders Republicans, and basically ignoring Trump and the other restrictionists. If he’s the only one left after New Hampshire, he’s got a decent chance. If Trump collapses, a great chance. If Trump collapses AND the other immigration restrictionists are still dividing up the vote — Jeb’s the nominee while there’s still snow on the tee boxes.

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?

It appears to be:
Cut taxes for the “poor”
Cut out or reduce the home interest deduction, but for only some higher incomes?
Cut corporate tax rates.

No word (that I heard on the radio program section) about cutting government spending, nor welfare, nor crony cooperate handouts like green energy and corn fuel subsidies.

Ain’t gonna fly - for anybody other than cooporate donors.
