Jeb's Six-Step Strategy to Salvage His Campaign
Legal Insurrection ^ | 1/2/16 | Fuzzy Slippers

Posted on 01/02/2016 2:11:38 PM PST by jimbo123

Double down on failed strategies and remind everyone it's his turn.

There has been a lot of speculation about whether or not Jeb Bush wants to be president. He doesn't seem to have that "fire in his belly" that his brother so often demonstrated on the campaign trail, and he didn't seem to be very interested in his campaign at the outset beyond the massive fundraising efforts and trying to win support from the traditional GOPe "king makers." This, actually, is what convinces me that Jeb does want to be president; he's just doing it the old, tired way, a way that simply doesn't work as traditional venues for political campaigns simply don't have the same audience share (and thus power) they once did. It also doesn-t help that the Republican primary voters are fed up with-and actively rebelling against—the traditional "it's your turn now" approach to GOP candidates for president.

Jeb and his campaign have a tried a number of strategies to help salvage his campaign, but from cutting staff to clumsy and awkward attacks on Marco Rubio and Donald Trump, his campaign quickly moved from tragedy to farce.

With the new year, Jeb seems to be planning a new series of steps to salvage his campaign. The New York Times reports that "aides to Mr. Bush and important allies described a long-shot plan to pull off what seems all but impossible: winning the Republican nomination for president. The plan has six elements."

Why is Jeb hanging in? Simple. He has been promised the nomination by the GOPe in a ‘brokered’ Convention.

Brokered = Karl Rove and Reince Priebus blackmail their list of closeted gay GOP delegates into voting for Jeb.

He doesn’t have time for six steps. By #2, he is toast.

Jeb still has money to spend.
And consultants want their cut.

Remember, Bill Clinton said that he would take care of it! By “It”, the context of the conversation was .... eliminating Trump as a candidate.

He lost it when #1 was to tell the republican base that he doesn’t need them

"Jeb still has money to spend. And consultants want their cut."

It's like posting someone in the bathroom with a pile of money and telling them-

"OK. For every 10 grand you can flush down this toilet you can pocket $1K."

"Hit it".

My favorite is “Woo Lindsey Graham”.

Besides the obvious problem of a jealous response from McCain, did any of those doofus’s in Bush’s camp ever consider that the even if Bush gets the 0.3% of the vote Graham had, Jeb could end up losing an even greater amount of support from those who despise Lindsey?

“The plan has six elements.”

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, potassium, and zinc.
