Losing is my middle name!

ome of Republican Jeb Bush's financial supporters think he needs a heavyweight political adviser to help him navigate the campaign trail and deliver more dynamic performances.
According to conversations with a number of donors, some would like to see Bush bring back Mike Murphy, the political veteran who heads Bush's Right to Rise organization and who by law cannot advise Bush as long as he is at the super PAC.
Other donors, while anxious about Bush's slippage in polls of Republican voters, say they are pleased that he appears to have stopped the bleeding in his campaign with a stronger debate performance in Milwaukee last month and believe he can still emerge as the victor in the unpredictable race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
When Bush set up his campaign last summer, he split up his key advisers. Murphy, who ran John McCain's 2000 presidential campaign and is based in Los Angeles, became head of Right to Rise, in charge of developing television ads to run in key early states, with a war chest of more than $100 million. Sally Bradshaw, his long-time adviser in Florida politics but not steeped in running national presidential campaigns, stayed in Tallahassee, and other senior team members like campaign manager Danny Diaz were based in Miami, Bush's home town.
Donors who believe Bush is the Republicans' best hope for capturing the White House in the November 2016 election have become worried at the state of the race, with political novices Donald Trump and Ben Carson leading the way.

There was no indication that Bush is prepared to bring back Murphy, or hire another heavyweight.
"There is no plan for him to leave here," an official at Right to Rise said of Murphy

“Some of Republican Jeb Bush’s financial supporters think he needs a heavyweight political adviser to help him navigate the campaign trail and deliver more dynamic performances.”
It won’t matter, you can’t chrome plate a turd!
And some of us “unwashed” think it’s time for him to quit, but not before spending down the GOPe bank account.
Surrender Jebbers!!
Yeah, that’s it. Just needs a new advisor - then its all the way to the top, baby!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Stay outta da Arbustos....
One of Murphy's notable "successes."
Bush needs a lot more than that! And bear in mind that I live in Florida and I don’t hate him. He was a good governor. But that’s it.
He’s simply not a good candidate and it’s not because of his personality or last name...but because of his ideas or lack thereof.
Atwater died, oh well.
Jeb ought to think about filling Rubio’s seat in the Senate, and he’d be lucky to win that election.
(Note: Rubio will not be running for re-election)
His only chance is to steal the election.
This is the year that sovereignty is the issue, and he threw that issue away studiously, carefully, purposely over the last five years. He has no way to get it back.
Imagine a world where Lee Atwater and Andrew Breitbart were still with us, and working together. Those two guys teaming up would be one heck of a dynamic duo.
lol
oh yeah... that’ll help!
BAHHAHAHAHHAAHA
jeb is finished. The GOP establishment is having a hard time believing the days of lulling people with fear are over.
GODs little boy JESUS can’t help Jeb
Michael Moore?
Rosie O'Donnell?
Bush? Who’s he?
Well, gotta hand it to Bush... he HAS stopped the bleeding in his poll numbers. Seems to be stable now! They can have a sigh of relief that it won't go much lower.
