South Carolina isn’t Bush Country anymore
Washington Post ^ | February 16, 2016 | Chris Cillizza

"He's hijacked my party," Jeb Bush said of Donald Trump on Tuesday on CBS's "This Morning." "Someone has to take a stand."

Bush has deputized himself to take that stand in South Carolina, which will hold its Republican presidential primary Saturday and which is regularly referred to by his supporters as "Bush country." He has brought his mother and brother, the former president, into the state to help with this job -- believing that South Carolina's Republican Party will return logic back to the nominating process.

Remember that Leslie Gore song, “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to?”

She has an attitude that doesn’t sit right with me. Can’t really explain beyond that.

"He's hijacked my party,"

You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till he hijacks the country for his own personal gain.

had come to distrust her

That whole 'mama doesn't want me to run' deal was quickly recognized as an obvious ploy to the observant. The Bushes knew going in that it would be an uphill battle to win without the base; so Barbara was chosen to speak for the electorate, saying no more Bushes, so that when she 'changed her mind', the hope was that she could bring the voters with her, back to supporting Jebito. Didn't work; she lost credibility.

Bush Country is farther west and much farther south.

Jeb, México le está llamando a casa.

Jeb sings “It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, you would cry too if it happened to you.”
