Bush staff float resumes with Florida consultants
Politico ^ | February 19, 2016 | Marc Caputo

Several Jeb Bush campaign workers are already shopping their résumés with Florida political consultants as expectations mount inside his team that their candidate won’t push on after South Carolina.

“I can unequivocally tell you that people are looking for work, because they say they’ve been led to believe that they won’t have a job because the campaign won’t be around any longer or their jobs won’t because the campaign won’t have any money,” said one Republican who helps run one of the Florida campaigns and who is a Bush donor.

The Dauphin's retainers abandoning their lord. If I was hiring why would I hire anybody from the Dauphin's campaign who had any sort of decision making responsibility. Why hire incompetence?

Why would anyone, who wanted to win a single vote hire any of these losers?

Dear Prospective Employer:

As you will see from my attached resume, I have worked on the McCain Campaign 2008, the Romney Campaign in 2012, and most recently have been working with Jeb Bush helping him to rediscover his Mexican Roots and to “Make America Mexico Again.”

I worked feverishly at pissing away all of his donated money from PACS; I helped him identify those Hispanic groups he could pander to; and I helped him moan and whine about how “nobody gets him.” I am excellent at deception, delusion and diversion, and I can spend that money like a drunken sailor in Hong Kong.

In closing, please consider me for the position advertised. I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN (as long as your money holds out).

Sincerely,

Finneas Carbunkle Whitfield Jones III, esq.

Jeb is finished.

The Establishment is going to make him step down because they know Florida is the big one. They need as many Rubio supporters as possible.

If Rubio loses Florida, then the Establishment is going to have a tough time winning after he loses in his home state. This is where he is still an active Senator.

I suspect Jeb’s supporters will go to Rubio.

Dear Mr. Whitfield Jones III:

Thank you for your letter of introduction and the enclosed resume.

I will shortly be heading up an exploratory committee for the Rick Perry for President 2020 campaign. As I'm sure Mr. Jeb Bush has conveyed to you, Rick Perry has a heart almost as big as Jeb's and as he contemplates another joyous run for the presidency, I am looking to put together a solid team that will help achieve this end.

Mr. Whitfield Jones II, I believe you have the qualifications and experience we are looking for. We are very interested indeed in having you join the "Perry 2020" team. You will be hearing from us shortly. Also, should you have access to the individual who coached Jeb Bush on his recent debates, would you be so kind as to forward his/her contact information to us? We would like to get started as soon as possible in prepping Mr. Perry for his upcoming debates in 2019.

Sincerely,

Percy Ann Smithfield III, esq.
The Perry for President 2020 Committee

P.S., if you have any of those guaca bowles still hanging around, please bring them over with you. We love our guacamole in Texas.

Most of these fools figured they were joining the winning team. They could not have predicted that Trump would eviscerate Bush the way he has.

Bush didn’t help himself when he said he was going to “win without the base”.

I missed this comment as I have tried to ignore/minimize JEBe. Thanks for posting it.

Bush did not help himself, when he said he was going to win without the base.

Bush/s misbegotten campaign is a sordid tale of mistakes and miscalculations...and geniuses who advised Jeb on this.

Dragging out GWB to stump for Jeb was a mistake of enormous magnitude. It dredged up all the debacles of the Iraq invasion. Who can forget GWB standing on the ship ignorantly declaring mission accomplished....as the US was forced to sink trillions into Mideast dirtholes...even to this day b/c of his incompetence.

Every word out of Jeb/s mouth was mind-bogglingly stupid.
It was like his mind was trolling the 90/s for campaign slogans.

IMHO, after all was said and done....his act of love inanity, and the rest....Jebbie/s obsession w/ highlighting his (gag) terrific years as FLA governor proved to be the death knell for his ambitions.

~Bush didn’t help himself when he said he was going to “win without the base”.

If there was ever a definitive “inbred blue blood moment” outside of a democrat campaign, that was it!

At least Michael Schmidt with one too man m’s can go back to MSNBC and explain how to run a campaign.
