Jeb Bush On Tanking Favorability: "Hell If I Know, I Don't Really Care"
BuzzFeed ^ | 1/11/16 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on 01/11/2016 9:39:50 AM PST by jimbo123

Jeb Bush says he doesn't really care that his favorability with Republicans has dropped almost 30 points since launching his presidential campaign.

In July, when the former Florida governor was still the front-runner for the Republican nomination, his favorability was at +27. As the campaign has dragged on, that number has sank to minus one, according to the latest Gallup poll.

When asked about the decline on NewsMax Now Friday, Bush said, "Hell if I know, I don't really care."

You nailed it. JEB! is using that language because someone told him that he is perceived as weak, and curisong will make him seem tough.

It's so obviously calculated, and therefore pathetic.

If it goes to who wants it bad enough, is there ANYONE to compare with Hillary?

I think in living memory only Reagan had that much fire in the belly. Even Cruz and Rubio seem like they are warming up in comparison, Bush seems to just be doing it because... well, he’s a Bush and that’s what they do..... Like once he gets this obligation out of the way he can go fish or play horseshoes or something....

Yeb! if you don’t care you should give the dopes that are funding your campaign their money back.

Do something cool than waste his donor’s money on a bid that’s going to go nowhere.

"Hell if I know..."

Jeb, ol' buddy.

I can help you here. Let's clear up what seems to be a mystery to you.

Speaking, if I may, for the GOP base...

We are repelled (and that's the best verb for us to use) by your stances on...

1. Amnesty for illegal aliens (the slow-walk version)

2. Support for Common Core (incredibly), and

3. Squeamishness and dishonesty on 2A (you choose to NOT even own a firearm, and you lied about receiving an award from the NRA).

Yes, if the candidate that I donated millions of $$$ to gave a comment like that, I would immediately be on the phone asking for my money back!!

Mike Murphy thinks the key to a Jeb comeback is to flush what’s left of his PAC’s kitty down the toilet.

F*ckin’ idiot.

Jeb Bush has made his run for the GOP nomination the most bizarre for a major party in modern history. Makes one wonder if Perot has moles in Jeb’s staff feeding him LSD.

He needs to drop out, pleading health problems and disappear from public view forever.

OTOH, he’s been providing so many laughs, kind of want him to continue just to see how crazy he really gets.

This is why Barbara Bush did not want him to run. She knows her son’s limitations.

Jeb, his family, his donors, the GOP, and the living unsuccessful GOP presidential candidates all seem to believe they should look to the past for guidance, do the same old thing, and expect a different outcome.

Quotation from an Iowa voter in the very excellent (believe it or not) Time Magazine cover story on Trump: “It’s time for us to do a totally insane thing, because we’ve lost it all. The times demand it.”

I would imagine that Murphy’s getting paid pretty well. (Although I can’t imagine why.)

You would think at some point she would grab him by his ear and send the idiot to him room.

Why is he running for President? He couldn’t inspire a group of kindergarten kids to take an extra recess.

“”I bet Barbara made him put a dollar in the swear jar for saying “hell””

It would seem he never learned his lesson then as I believe he’s the only candidate I’ve heard use profanity on the campaign trail. I’m sure they all use it off camera but ON? I sure haven’t heard it. I dislike it anytime from anyone.

It boggles the mind. How the hell can he just say something like that? “I don’t really care.” WTF?
