McCain didn’t “understand” either, and neither did Romney, and on many issues neither did Bush, thus why we lost to a inept child like Obama.
The base has been SCREAMING at our inept leadership for 15+ years. And if you throw the inept HW Bush into mix, then it’s been nearly 20!!!
Now the whole freaking world hangs in the balance because of these MORONS!
Nothing more need be said.
Any one who thinks 0% Linda is the voice of the GOP deserved to be run out of town on rails.
At least we won’t have to hear this whiny brat lecture us about how intolerant and uncaring conservatives are.
Our country is circling the drain and Bush’s answer was to tell us to accept more of it.
People had enough and finally said “NO!”
You don’t know what’s going on
You’ve been away for far too long
You can’t come back and think you are still mine
You’re out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
Cause baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can’t come back and be the first in line, on no
You’re obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you’re out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
Cause baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time

He’s good at crony capitalism though, so he will be just fine.
Jeb probably had too long of a hiatus, between leaving office in 2007 and only coming back in 2015 or so to run. Had he been actively seeking an intermediate office, say as congressman representing his district where he was living, or even jumped in as a candidate for senator against Bill Nelson in 2012, Jeb could have sharpened up a lot of his now-rusting political skills. But of course, in Florida politics, Bill Nelson was off limits because of some “gentleman’s agreement” that the Democrats deserved “equitable” representation in the Senate.
A few years out of the job market, and people forget just how good you might have been in the past. But they remember just about every fumble you ever made.
I certainly don’t want to defend him but -— isn’t good at politics? He was a governor. That’s pretty good.
Jeb isn’t very good at politics?He burns though other people’s money with absolutely nothing to show for it.
I’d say that makes him a natural at politics.Only problem is,nobody votes for him.
I don’t think I ever witnessed a more relaxed, relieved, thank God it’s over, candidate.
I really don’t think he wanted the job anyhow, the question will remain...who did.
The most energy I have seen out of JEB was his speech last night - when he quit.
...or anything else.
If Jeb would have taken that last brave step and saved Terri Schiavo he would have been perceived as a hero and garnered way more support from the conservative base. Now he is relieved to exit as it should be-— no more Bush’s.
2013—mama told him not to come-—that aint the way to have fun, son. Yes it was a 3 Dog Night race last night but puppy Jeb was not one of the big dogs. Just an expensive and pampered one.
Worst candidate EVER!
Yeb! acted like he was trying to lose.
The Bush Dynasty is no more.
Praise the Lord.
That the notoriously liberal Tampa Bay Times is bemoaning the demise of Yebbie! should be instructive.
Talk about a lazy analysis. The only issue on which the Republican Party is more "conservative" is immigration. On everything else, including "gay marriage" and other social issues, its moved Left. It has practically given up the fight on restraining government. And the "angry" slur is as old as the hills. Back in the 90s, you had Peter Jennings calling the 1994 election an angry white male "temper tantrum."
