Why is John Ellis Bush the best to beat Hillary? Polls do not bear that out. On what grounds the GOPe can push that narrative?
According to RCP poll averages, Paul & Rubio are the closest to Hillary, not John Ellis Bush.
Because THAT is what the media is pushing - INCLUDING Fox News. We heard his same thing with Romney, and with McCain before that. THAT was the major talking point the Republican party hacks used to shame everyone who did not support the ruling class establishment candidate in those past elections.
Polls mean nothing except to drive a narrative and make everyone want to be a sheep.
