One Very Simple Reason Why Jeb Bush Won’t Win the Nomination

Read Time:36 Second

Jeb Bush is no George Bush, but he’s related, and America hasn’t forgotten what a mess his brother managed to create for the United States.  As a result they aren’t likely to forget or forgive, but there’s other reasons why Jeb is probably going to be standing in the Cleveland cold come nomination time. Check out this article to find out why:

Today, The Washington Post’s Dan Balz writes about Jeb Bush and the other Establishment candidates seeking the Republican presidential nomination. Balz spots the reason Jeb is highly unlikely to win the nominating contest, though I’m not sure he realizes he’s spotted it: Lodged firmly in the establishment wing as the son and brother of former presidents,…

Sure I unabashedly support my good friend Donald Trump and shill for him here at MMA. The fact is that so many before the primaries and caucuses even start think that in the long run kooks that support kooks will decide who wins the nomination.
Ron Paul is a great example. I don’t think he ever ended up with even 10% of the total primary votes when it was all said and done. Even that nut Herman Cain led the polls for awhile in 2012.
In the end the candidate has to have the party apparatus working for him/her. To get it working for him Trump is going to have to bribe party chairmen and bigshots in each state to get their organizations to work and get out the vote for him. His ego may not let him do that as he thinks he can do it alone cause he knows better than everyone else.
The Bushes understand the party element of politics. Plus, the big money donators know they can trust Jeb to do their bidding just as they trusted George.
Iowa and New Hampshire are meaningless other than making the ones that will end up forgotten feel good that some angry people went to vote for them to show us they are independent. Super Tuesday will tell the real story. That’s when the party apparatus will kick in and the obedient rank and file will show up for Bush.
I hope you’re reading this Donald cause if you don’t get to the state republican party chairman and the chairmen in counties with big populations your campaign will end that evening.
And despite what the author thinks about pandering to meaningless conservative ideas, the real strategy is simply attack anything Obama or Hillary. Tie them into any attacks on Planned Parenthood or Syria or anything, even the Easter Bunny as an Obama plot to indoctrinate children into Islam by using a rabbit to bribe them with candy, will work. Hating on Clinton and Obama is what works. Its futile to go deeper than that since most republicans have no clue what the Fed or IMF or diplomacy even are.

Scary that a guy who wants to be president advertises that he believes in religion – belief in fairy tales and magic.

More than scary. That is the only thing he is running on, his religious beliefs.
