Republicans regain campaign mojo — and it's Bush, not Trump
Thehill ^ | 11/07/2021 | Joe Ferullo

Posted on 11/07/2021 11:48:53 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Bush campaign style is making a comeback.

Democrats should be afraid. Very afraid.

Among the messages emerging from Glenn Youngkin’s victory in the Virginia governor’s race last week is this: The era of angry, fire-breathing GOP candidates may be over, replaced by a campaign approach Democrats rarely seem to beat. Instead of a raging Donald Trump, Jim Jordan, or Marjorie Taylor Greene, there is the shrewd candidate with a keen eye for wedge issues, camouflaged by khakis and a calm demeanor.

Think George Bush — senior and junior.

Bush has not come back.
Bush will never come back.
He’d better keep cutting trees at Crawford.

Neither was responsible for who followed them, especially 43 who managed 2 terms.

Clinton was more a consequence of the fall of Gary Hart (of “the senator has changed his opinion on offshore drilling” fame) and the subsequent myth that by caring about infidelity the Democrats had lost the election in ‘88. So four years later when Clinton came along a number of powerful media figures carried his water and showed that the press could dramatically affect the outcome of the election.

And afterwards, after they’d already sold their souls to get Billy Boy elected, they found out just how much more there was to defend and that he owned their sorry asses.

As for Obama, he was a post turtle from the beginning, maneuvered into place by various radical and Muslim groups and managed from his dreams of his father he never really knew book (unless it was his Commie friend Davis who was his real dad … which ironically enough would make him a NBC) onward. None of which W was responsible for. Neither was W responsible for the Obama era voter fraud that Biden indicated had happened recently … you know, when he bragged about the coming voter fraud on his behalf.

Perhaps we're starting to see why there was no overnight Big Steel in VA.

I noticed the GOPe pom-pom Blue Hairs came out full force on Wednesday, after the Virginia win *and* while New Jersey was actively being Stolen.

Identify them, mock them, reduce them to quivering jello molds.

Gary Hart (of “the senator has changed his opinion on offshore drilling” fame)


That was actually AL Senator Howell Teflon commenting on Dead Kennedy.

Perhaps within the GOPe, but not the people. The people held their collective noses to keep Terry Mmcauliffe out of there.

Bush played no part in the decision making. In fact, many people would have preferred a Trump supporting candidate in there. But sometimes you have to make hard choices, not the choice you would have preferred.

None of the Bush’s other than young Prescott would have directly come out against CRT in schools.

If I recall correctly,
Jeb! had no problem with the more watered down, but still poisonous/ useless introduction, called Common Core education.

The author is obviously just trying to trigger Trump loyalists.

Ignore him.

Hundreds of Republican poll watches and lawyers helped!

DeSantis is pretty good at trolling the various Brandons as they pop up, Wac-a-mole style.

C'mon guys, it's THE HILL.

This is what The Hill desperately wants to happen, so they write it with an angle to convince people that's what's really happening. Just like the fake polls, this fake article is trying to shape opinion.
