From the article (I removed all the crap apostrophes):
A Senate Republican who backed Bushs father, former President George H.W. Bush, in a presidential primary, said Jeb **is in big trouble.**
**He is cross-ways with the Republican base. They see him as the epitome of a bought and paid-for establishment candidate,** the lawmaker said. **I dont see how he can get back in there.**
The source said even if he **showed more energy,** Bush would have trouble explaining his past statements in favor of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and Common Core education standards.
******************************
So, what the unnamed Republican senator is saying is - Bush did not fool them sufficiently so he must be tossed - maybe Rubio can fool them appropriately.

Yep a pain but it makes it much easier to read. I just delete them
and type one in via my keyboard in their place.
