Jeb Bush assures Florida crowd he’s in presidential race for long haul, ‘I know who I am’

PUNTA GORDA - Former Gov. Jeb Bush, whose national presidential campaign has dropped dramatically...

"I'm on the side of the people that want to rise up and I will wake up each day with joy in my heart," said Bush. "I will not be an angry candidate. I will work as hard as I can to put a fork in the whole darn thing on March 15."

Bush said he wasn't concerned with the criticism his campaign has received, saying there are 100 days until February and four months until the March 15 Florida primary.

"We have a long way to go," he said. "People don't know the whole Jeb story, but they will. We got a lot of resources and I'm going to campaign hard in early states and let them know that it's a record of accomplishments that is unmatched by anyone on that stage."...

"I'm going to campaign hard and I'm going to campaign to win," he said. "I feel really good about where we are."

The campaign has tried to adjust, cutting salaries and refocusing resources in early primary states...

"It's an indicator that the tide might be falling...a sinking ship," said Chris Ingram, a Republican Tampa-based political strategist.

Ingram said Bush has long-term sustainability, but needs to do something to "turn on the excitement."...in Florida kicking off his "Jeb Can Fix It" tour...

Bush acknowledged he's been getting a lot of advice... taking it with a grain of salt...

"The simple fact is you have to be who you are, and I know who I am. My compass points north. I'm comfortable in my own skin ...They're looking for a servant leader. They're not looking for a big personality on the stage."

On Friday night, about 100 people attended the rally

Some gal on Fox summed the problem up yesterday.

This is like dating. You meet someone and you take time to figure out if you like them or not. If they have the whiff of desperation, it's a turnoff.

Jeb reeks of desperation.

Terri Schiavo is the only part of the Jeb story that we need to know, nothing else really matters.

Basically Jebbie is saying “I have a lot of money so I will win”.

Well, Jebbie, Trump has more. A lot more.

In spite of the bluster, we know who you are, Jeb.

And that is what gets votes.

Jeb reeks of desperation.

That's a good analogy. Jeb is also a bit like a bad vaudeville act - he's out there in front of the crowd, just stinking the place up. The people are getting up and leaving to find a better attraction. The backstage guys have a firm grip on Jeb with the vaudeville hook, but he's fighting against being dragged off the stage.

It may take a little while to find those last few stage hands to add their muscle to the hook, but the performance is at an end.

“On Friday night, about 100 people attended the rally...”

And 99 of them showed up for the free tea and muffins. The 100th guy took a wrong turn and was looking for the Trump encampment.

Piety is great cover. The chief of our small military mess hall was a fundie. He got into trouble for coming into work very late one day. His excuse was that when he woke up, he got to thinking about how wonderful it was to be saved, and
forgot to go to work.

When he says “they” he means his hedge fund billionaire donors. They want a servant, and he’s their guy.
