He's not just losing. He is loathed.
It is not difficult to see why Jeb Bush is losing this presidential election. He is the wrong man in the wrong cycle. Republican primary voters are rewarding passionate, fiery, outsider, "anti-establishment" candidates who paint their visions in broad strokes rather than pesky details. Bush is the very picture of a Republican establishment and his donors the very image of donor-class Republicanism. Though he claims not to be "an expert on the ways of Washington," he is vying to be the third consecutive Republican president named Bush. He is a conservative technocrat animated less by angst and more by, say, education funding models. Anti-immigration sentiment is dominating this primary, and immigration has long been Bush's chief weakness in the primary. He's a bad fit for the 2016 Republican Party, and barring some deus ex machina that switches every current coursing through the Republican primary electorate, he will soon have little rationale for continuing his run.

Slate backs Heb? That disqualifies him right there.
It isn’t Republicans, it’s conservatives that loathe him.
Just look at his liberal record in Florida. There’s your answer.
That's reason enough for disapproval, but the mockery stems from the man himself: clunker after clunker such as "Yeb can fix it!" and the infamous tippy-toes picture, petulant name-calling, and an absolutely radiant sense of being completely out of touch with the concerns of middle-class voters. Yeb is the kid who tries too hard to be cool. He's the insider pretending to be an outsider, the pampered brat pretending to be a regular guy. He's the guy with the starched white shirt rolled up to the forearms trying to figure out how to eat a corn dog at the county fair. He's the very personification of the Establishment pol who wants your vote but not your presence.
That's why.
Jeb reminds me of a kid I knew in Jr. high who was this arrogant know-it-all and while he was a big wimp in public behind closed doors he was a sadistic bully. I just can’t shake that impression and I end up finding the man repulsive.
Succinctly? Karl Rove.
I think it’s time to pull Jeb’s feeding tube.
And he smells bad.
He is disliked partially because he picks his nose in public...
and stands on his toes to make up for whatever it is.
Trump people don’t like him because he’s not entertaining enough.]
Cruz people don’t like him because he’s not Conservative enough.
******************************************************
Sorry to see that you feel that way, I’m a Trump person who has nothing negative to say about Ted Cruz.
Oops.
Well, I made it all the way to January 8th without a mistake. That’s better than 2015. :-)
Yeb! did himself in by siding with fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers against the citizens and the rule of law.
That and he is a Democrat in an R jersey.
Where does he differ from Hillary on policy?
Maybe they could run Neil next.....
He is named BUSH, and we had ENOUGH political families. Trump or Cruz aren't geopolitical families...
Slate makes Salon look sane...
JEB!, I don’t speak Spanish because the only languages spoken should be the following: 1) English 2)Native American languages... that’s all...no press 1 for English!
G.Prescott, no way...Senator Prescott could have made L.P. Weicker (the last Republican senator in CT) look like a moderate instead of a liberal...
Don't think for a nanosecond that they weren't planning it if !Yeb were to win.
When that nitwit stated that he intended to win the nomination in spite of conservatives, was the day his campaign ended for everyone except him.
He would be a great VP pick for Hillary.
Amnesty Common Core I can win the nomination without the base; he looks and talks like Under Dog - need anymore?
