I happen to like what Trump is saying -- but even if you don't like, or trust, Trump the situation ought to be pretty clear. Professional politicians, political dynasties, the insiders who manipulate politics to serve their own ends -- people are tired of that stuff.
Why is this hard for the Bushes to see? I'm sure they don't like it. I'm sure they think people are making a mistake. But that doesn't change the simplicity of it: The Bush Dynasty has been on top for 63 years, and those years have mostly seen decline in this country. The people want change. The people want to reject anything that smells like insider politics. Trump is simply different, and people find that appealing. The Bushes claim that they don't "get it". They are either stupid or disingenuous.
Spot on.
I completely agree.
The Bushes were on top for quite a while. During that time, America basically built up China.
America needs badly, to build up our own country once again.
Says it all, doesn’t it?
Sununu: “I have no feeling for the electorate anymore.”
“It is not responding the way it used to. Their priorities are so different that if I tried to analyze it I’d be making it up.”
I remember when Gary Hart challenged Walter Mondale for the 1984 nomination and was running away with it for awhile until his character defects emerged and overwhelmed the “newness” of his campaign. Rolling Stone, which I ordinarily find revolting, did an interesting piece at the time on how stunned Mondale and his staff were. “I have money, the experienced campaign staff, I have endorsements, I have the DNC committee members’. But like Bush, none of it will matter when you have a candidate who just doesn’t sell and a family dynasty that was only in power in the first place because of President Reagan and the fact that most of us thought we were voting for the Reagan policies. So, Jeb yes “you have endorsements, you (had) money, you have the RNC” but you don’t have the voters that you and your father and brothe openly disdain.

If you are covered in mud to the point that you can just get your nose out to breathe, your ears are filled with mud and you have to close your eyes to keep the mud out of them, it is obvious to someone standing on solid ground and looking at you just what your problem is but all you know is that you can’t see or hear anything and you can barely breathe.
