Bush team 'cringes' as Jeb talks like a loser
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 26, 2015 | Byron York

"I just cringed," said one member of Jeb Bush's extended circle of advisers when asked his reaction to Bush's recent mini-tantrum on the state of the Republican presidential race. "Every politician, at some point, and sometimes justifiably, is pissed off at the voters. But you can't display your frustration with the public."

That's what Bush did, thrusting into public view the deep frustration that has been building as his once-mighty campaign slipped behind not only Donald Trump but other GOP rivals as well.

"If this election is about how we're going to fight to get nothing done, then I don't want to have any part of it," Bush told a Republican gathering in South Carolina Saturday. "I've got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around and be miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that."

The short version: I don't need this. The other guy's a clown, but if that's what you want, vote for him. I've got better things to do...

Hey, it (the same strategy of taking down conservative alternates to RINOs) worked for W, McCain and Romney in the past, why change the strategy for JEB?

RINO establishment have treated conservative candidates naïve enough to think they had a chance against the establishment, got their comeuppance from the USCC!

Absolutely no moral objections from Dole, W, McCain or Romney, when they were handpicked to make a run for Prez, letting the advisors smear and attack even innocent family members of families the establishment needed to remove!

That's politics in the U.S. from both parties but the GOP seems better at it, don't they.

At least Dick Nixon waited until AFTER losing an election to say, “you won’t have Nixon to kick around any more.”

Maybe after Thanksgiving Dinner, Bush Sr. will admit what he and W. already suspect to be true: Jeb! would serve ‘superbly’ as president, but he doesn’t have the cast iron stomach or tough skin of the Rhino (?) to tolerate the preliminaries, aka ‘the campaign season’

and all the foolishness it brings. Columba, Jeb’s wife, uses a napkin made of Egyptian Cotton to wipe away the pumpkin pie crumbs from her fingers. Columba clears her throat and turns to speak with Barbara Bush, her mother-in-law. She says “Lo Siento, Mama Barbara, pero ahora, Yeb, mi Hombre, no es muy feliz, en facto, es muy enojado todavia. La cosa mas mal es dormimos por seperado! Dos camas! Siempre dos camas!” Her eldest son, George P. Bush will dutifully translate for his Grandma:

“I’m sorry, Mama Barbara, but Jeb, my husband, he is not happy, in fact, he is angry all the time. The worst part is we still sleep seperately. Two beds! Always, the two beds!!
Barbara will guide GHWB to the conclusion that Jeb should quit to save his marriage, and it will be GHWB’s idea.

The Establishment had it all set for a Bush-Clinton match but they forgot the GOP voters!

I can tell you with 100% certainty tat El Yebe is finished. With he passing of the budget today which is yet another republican excuse, Jeb Bush has no chance at all. What is wrong with the budget is what is wrong with Jeb. If he were elected it would be more of the same.

El Yebe is 100% toast. No doubt about it.

Wish I could be that optimistic. Now that the Hildabeast is headed for a coronation, Jeb will get will get a lot of 'Operation Chaos'-like crossover 'Rat votes in open primary states.

Combine that with Mississippi-style vote fraud shenanigans, and Jeb's the GOP nominee, set up to be the desigated loser according to the GOPe's carefully-laid plans.

I hope I'm wrong ...

Truly cringe worthy and he made no sense...

“If this election is about how we're going to fight to get nothing done, (what does that mean? it is nonsensical. Who and what is he referring to? Just too broad to be meaningful.)

“...then I don't want to have any part of it,” (Quitter! Loser! Cry Baby!) Bush told a Republican gathering in South Carolina Saturday.

“I've got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around and be miserable, (How childish. IOW, don't you people know who I am?! I could be doing so many other rich legacy baby fun things...you have no idea!)

“listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. (Put on your Big Boy Pants already! This is a fight to save our once great nation. It is not intended as your coronation.)

“That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.” (Guess who lives rent free in Jebby Boys head?)

I agree. It is funny, but more importantly, it’s true. That’s exactly what “Mr. Tipply Toes Bush” did.

Sadly, the GOPe is way better at it.

A friend of mine who is a bit GOP-E (but a good guy)is a County Party chair. He said it best. Jeb has the domestic policy of W and the political skills of Romney after talking to Stuart Stevens.

He's not voting for Jeb, either.

A looser is also like a birther or truther. Loose money policy advocates. Loose constructionists. Loosers.
