Jeb taps Bush alumni for early-state push
The Politico ^ | December 10, 2015 | Alex Isenstadt

How the former Florida governor, once shy about his famous last name, is leaning on his family's network.

For months, Jeb Bush has insisted he's his "own man."

Now, he's mobilizing his family's expansive network as he searches for momentum amid the dominance of Donald Trump and the rise of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

Starting next month, Bush's campaign will deploy hundreds of his brother and father's former White House aides to early primary states to assist in canvassing and get-out-the-vote efforts. The plan, which has been hashed out in private emails and phone calls for months, is taking on new urgency as the primary season grows closer....

Well, if by "state" that they mean the Mexican states, then Jeb's got a real shot here. But if they are referring to American states, I've got as good a chance as Jeb. Because both of us are polling at 0%, within the margin of error.

He has insulted the base in trying to get the nomination “without the base.” As that did not work, he recruits his family to do his dirty work. So instead of “Jeb!,” his new posters should read: “Jeb!—still in the same Bushes.’

Jeb just called mommy and daddy because things aren’t going well.

They had former PA Gov. Tom Ridge at the Manchester, NH event that I saw today on C-SPAN. Nasty comments from Ridge about Trump. This seems to be the new strategy of calling in markers from daddy’s and brother’s friends.

“Tippy toes” Jebbers made the comment off mic as they were snapping pictures afterwards that he’ll be the tallest president, besting Abe Lincoln by 1/2 inch. Had to wonder if that’s an honest measure or on “tippy toes?” !!!

Surrender Now, Jebbers!!

Besides Jebbie’s libtard politics, he cannot even look manly like his dad and brother.

He is just a huge, puffed-up, over-entitled goofball.

Jebbie, didja ever hear about maybe some Sorrels and a plaid shirt or shooting jacket? What a big doofus.

I'd rather hear it from Columba, in English.

He came out of the gate campaigning to be president of Mexico, with full-steam-ahead amnesty...first impressions are hard to overcome.

A pair of Gucci loafers won’t change a thing, is tantamount to a “cover up” of who he really is. He campaigned backwards, showing his true self to begin with, and now, trying to don the cloak of conservatism after the public backlash.

Jeb, go live off your pension, everybody in the family can’t be president!

It’s carpet bombing here in NH on TV and Radio for Jebbers. The zero bump he gets for it tells me his friends are waaaay too rich to be wasting money like that. Think of how huge his donors personal upsides must be if wins for them to err, invest, cash like that, in a sure loser. Also, it’s probably just too embarrassing for him to quit and look his Dad and brother in the eye so he’ll fire each and every bullet until the inevitable comes.

I am getting sick and tired of having to change the channel every time this idiot comes on. Surely this carpet bombing strategy will backfire on him and he will lose the 3% that he still has left. No one is listening.

What a shame to see this money being wasted...it really could feed a lot of poor people better than it feeds egos.

You're very generous in your description of her ESL mastery.

Our state borders Iowa—we get a fair amount of the same. Most of the campaigns tend to visit Des Moines and locations on the eastern side (more libs).

Surrender Jebbers!
