Jeb Bush’s New Show of Confidence Is Failing to Connect With Republicans
NY Times ^ | December 2, 2015 | Trip Gabriel and Ashley Parker

his ought to be Jeb Bush’s time.

He laid out a detailed plan to crush the Islamic State three months before the Paris terrorist attacks. He gave a well-received speech on rebuilding America’s military at the Citadel two weeks ago. He has shown new confidence discussing terrorism, the Syrian refugee crisis and American values, and how they intertwine.

But instead of winning a second look from voters, Mr. Bush continues to be ignored, and to languish in the polls, even as the nation contends with what he calls “serious times that require serious leadership.”

Cue the sad trombone. He can spend all the money he waits, change his personality but he is still selling the same crap sandwich and we ain't buying.

I’m wondering how he managed to win in FL.

He’s one of the worst campaigners I’ve ever seen.

This is the year that sovereignty is the driving issue. And he had already thrown that away before he even started.

He had no chance from the beginning. At least, he had no chance from the moment Trump took that ride down the escalator.

He just sounds bad. No matter what he says or how he says it, it just doesn’t sound right coming out of his mouth. That’s his problem and there is nothing they can do to change it.

I hope he drains the Bush family fortune with this folly of a run. Put a fork in him permanently.

I doubt the Bush clan has spent $1 on the campaign. They bring out the rolodex, going old school, and dial up their friends in high places.

He is becoming spooky. He can’t seem to accept the fact that vast numbers of the electorate DO NOT want him. That approaches the same delusional thinking exhibited by the negro community organizer who happens to currently reside in our White House. Our so called leaders are BANKRUPT.

The fact that he hasn't dropped out yet worries me. It's like he is biding his time. When the delegates start committing in early 2016 then we will know what the game is.

On the ad they keep running on Fox News, he sounds like a First Grader reading his first sentence.

Where is his spirit for fighting ISIS?

He is totally overwhelmed!

His father was President. His brother was President. What did either of these two do in office that makes ANOTHER member of this family so indispensable that he must also be elected President? Thought so.
