Wow, Jeb Bush Is Awful (Liberal media bailing on Jeb?)
NY Times ^ | 5/14/15 | Gail Collins

Posted on 05/14/2015 10:24:30 AM PDT by jimbo123

Let’s discuss Jeb Bush’s terrible week.

I’m really troubled by his awful performances, and I’m generally a person who takes bad news about politicians pretty well. For instance, a friend just sent me a story about the Texas agriculture commissioner’s vow to bring deep-fried foods back to school cafeterias. (“It’s not about French fries; it’s about freedom.”) I would classify this as interesting, yet somehow not a shocking surprise.

But today we’re talking about Jeb Bush. As a presidential hopeful, Bush’s most attractive feature was an aura of competence. Extremely boring competence, perhaps. Still, an apparent ability to get through the day without demonstrating truly scary ineptitude.

-snip-

If the version of Jeb Bush we’ve been seeing lately is the one we’re going to be stuck with, then one of the other Republican contenders is going to win.

Yeah I have noticed them starting to give up on Jeb and starting to push Rubio as a alternative RINO that will serve the same purpose.

When JEB puts his finger in a dyke...
It might not be what you expected...

I noticed the same thing. They seem genuinely surprised that Jebster is flaming out by running as a Democrat in an R jersey.

Rubio is Plan B for The Cheap Laboor Express. The RNC must deliver an amnesty candidate.

No. They’re just moving their target to Cruz and Walker. Betcha $’ they’ll switch and start drooling like a bunch of rabid puppies over Rubio.

I find it absolutely laughable that Leftists are acting all concerned about Bush’s political abilities. How stupid do they think we are?

When a leftist trashes one of your guys, you can translate that out to them actually thinking the guy might serve their purposes well.

“Ah, Leftists hate him. Boy he must be good!”

I’m not falling for this. What a Leftist says about Bush is of zero concern of mine, with one exception. What we on the right think of him is what matters to me.

Bush is a no-go for almost all of us. Thank God! Now, if we can just keep him from screwing things up so a Conservative can’t lead our party.

It actually does anger me when the Left rips a guy like Bush. I may not like him, but it’s up to me and other Conservatives to vet him. It isn’t up to the Left to do it for us, or offer up their opinions.

If we accept them doing it for Jeb, we accept them doing it for all our candidates. To hell with them.

Screw that nosie. These idiots can go pound sand.

I suspect he opposes bringing back french fries and other fried foods. He's wrong. We need to stop teaching kids that any food is bad and resume teaching about a balanced diet. Kids will eat fries and like them. It's better to accept that than to pretend FedGov and BigGov can change human nature if they deny facts emphatically enough.

As for Jebbie, I hope they give up on that RINO soon. Jeb, Christie, Rubio, and the other pro-Amnesty traitors are unacceptable. There are big issues this year, all of which are deal-breakers, and the insiders are set on destroying our country. We have to block Amnesty and kill Obamacare, or America will cease to exist as a free and prosperous country.

Hey, btw, the premise of this article is the exact same as the Cilizza piece we talked about. Gail Collins is an out and out democrat attack dog, a real hate filled leftist. She parrots the same thing from that ComPost piece. This is part of the liberal mantra that I am speaking about.

And just because one has arguments like Cruz does, does not make them like Collins and the rest.

A few weeks ago the leftists were writing puff pieces about Jeb and Columba and how she’s a Mexican Cinderella and he is reasonable and can reach across the aisle and all that nonsense.

Now they’re not happy with him anymore.

What happened?

I don’t think we can block Amnesty. It will be a done deal and there will be many millions of new voting citizens in time for the Election. Hussein can just do it by proclamation though I think there will be some football stadium ceremonies like the ones Clinton held. Then he sends the Justice Department operatives to police the voting in the states that might oppose it all to make sure no one is “denied the right to vote.”

The MSM doing our job for us. I have no problem with this.

We just need to look at who will replace Jeb as the media darling and start the discrediting now.

I always think that the liberal media selects the most like them on the the GOP side with whatever candidate field; i.e., the Christie’s, the Jeb’s, etc. When one of these RINO’s violates their mantras, they go sour on them. And of course, long term, should they actually win the primary, they turn on them with a leftist shiv in the back.

The rubes aren’t buying it.

Jebster’s poll numbers stink and are getting worse, despite their best efforts.

The NY Times held their Bridgegate story until the DAY AFTER Christie signed the NJ democrat amnesty bill. And Christie thought they’d love him AFTER he gave NJ illegals amnesty, not just before. RINOS never learn.

It's like a musical act that they put on stage at a big music festival, and for the most part, just doesn't connect with the audience.

Jeb Bush is exactly that type of "act".

Agreed!

Truth be known.. RINOs are as obtuse as the LIBTARDS.

Nearly ALL RINOs and LIBTARDS are FOOLS. However, They are TOTALLY UNAWARE of that fact.
