Is Jeb! Getting Desperate?

[soundforbjt]

Did the Jeb Bush Campaign plant an intern to harangue Donald Trump at the "No Labels" conference?

Looks like Jeb! is scared of Trump talking all the air out of the primary. Pretty funny. If you don't like the Kos link there's plenty of right-wing sites to choose from if you hit up google.

Seems like she is or was an intern for Kelly Ayotte, not Jeb. Even if she's a Jeb supporter that doesn't make her a plant.

This will be back and forth from all the candidates until the actual primaries start taking place. I think Iowa is in February according to this map.
I doubt Jeb lasts much past super Tuesday.
Most of the others, not so lucky. $$$

Jeb is hoping he's like Romney, that Republicans don't want him, but eventually settle on him as the least crazy "electable" one.

I believe she did it own her own. I really doubt there was any coordinated effort.
I do wonder what her logic was does Bush support abortion and didn't he get way too involved with Terry Sherivo(spelling?)

Exactly. He has the funds and hasn't really started running yet. He's just biding a little time and waiting for some of the up front lunacy to play itself out.

 

[trenchfoot]

So he's using Muhammad Ali's patented Rope-A-Dope™ strategy on Trump then.

 

[Hugo Drax]

Bush in in his bunker waiting it out. He will get nominated as expected.

 

[bradley]

The bottom line....

 

[Slew Foot]

No one cares about Bush

 

[MongGrel]

Jeb would have been better than Dubya at the time, I'd still take him over Trump.

But none of the above IMHO.

 

[master_shake_]

Whoever thought having bush onboard was a good idea obviously has no idea of what the American people and the rest of the world think of his family.

Might as well get Charles Manson's brother too.

In another world of politics $$ MONEY $$ could get anyone elected, if they had enough of it $$.
But today, that is no longer the case. No amount of money will save Jeb from the political trash heap. And it all boils down to the name BUSH.
Elected another Bush?
Fool me once, shame on ... Fool me twice shame on him ...?
You can't get fooled.
Famous last words of brother GW. And that still applies today.
No one is going to vote for Jeb, nor another Bush ever never ever.
I give the voting public credit for once, stupid as they can be, but with this one they have figured it out. Jeb is a big time rotten tomato.

I saw a report that said, IIRC that Jeb! is spending money like crazy. He spends 85% of what comes in in donations. I personally saw four ads on Fox news in a half hour.

In so many ways I agree with you.

However, let's also not forget that when the only tomatoes the Repubs get to pick from are all rotten, Jeb might just be lucky enough that he hasn't rotted more than the other ones by the time November comes around.

Looking at it in another way, for the Repubs in the running, it's not a matter of who can make themselves look like the pick of the litter. It's a matter of who is the best one at making all the others look like runts.

According to the WSJ, Jeb has spent more than half his donations. Now has less than Rubio.

And that's better than the democratic candidate how?

^ Anyone who's watched the debates knows the answer to that.

Jebya is done. He's like a dying animal just lashing about now.

Trump has terminally wounded him with attacks that would have been brushed off coming from the left. The establishment is shifting to Rubio, but Trump will chew him up too. He's already started getting him properly marinated:

Jeb! doesn't have to save money he's a Republican. He only needs to talk about austerity and spending cuts(drum hat please)
Being serious Jeb has ample PAC money lined up so he may as well spend most of what he takes in.

If you think W. was totally awesome after 9/11 (because before doesn't matter) send Jebya $5!

Bush dropped the ball on 9/11, 3K Americans died, dropped the ball on Iraq, 5K Americans died, dropped the ball on the economy, Great Recession, dropped the ball on Medicare expansion, out of control drug prices. But hey, let's do it all over again with Jeb.

Play fair. 9/11 could no have been avoided by any President. There were multiple failures.
Post 9/11 W. made some poor decisions.

I'm fairly certain that not all US Presidents would have responded to the memo regarding bin Laden with:

"All right. You've covered your ass, now".

It could have easily been avoided, there was ample warning.
