ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE SEEKS TO REVIVE CAMPAIGN
|| By FITSNEWS || Desperate to reorient his political trajectory, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is launching a new television ad in early voting New Hampshire. The ad – entitled “I’ve Delivered” – begins running in the Granite State this week with $500,000 behind it.
Once the frontrunner for the “Republican” presidential nomination, Bush (like most of the other GOP hopefuls) has seen his campaign consumed by the political ascendency of billionaire businessman Donald Trump.
In fact his ad takes a shot at Trump – referencing “self-promoters” in the presidential race.
“Anybody can talk,” Bush says in the spot. “I’ve delivered.”
Take a look …

Hmmmm …
As recently as July 23, Bush was leading the field with 16.3 percent support in New Hampshire – according to rolling survey averages published by Real Clear Politics. This week, however, an NBC News/ Marist poll showed him in fourth place in the Granite State with just eight percent support.
Ouch …
Will this ad turn things around for him? We doubt it … it’s just too cookie cutter. With Bush looking and sounding like the typical politician he is.
In case you haven’t noticed, the 2016 campaign is one big recoil against the “bipartisan” political establishment. And despite Bush’s best efforts to portray himself as “anti-Washington” his last name is still Bush. So while he may deserve credit in some areas (most notably his consistent support for free market education policy), the fact remains he is an unrepentant crony capitalist.
And this ad does nothing but reinforce that perception …

Jeb is finished.My ‘sources’ in Florida tell me the money is moving away from him.
Trump got in the race to defeat Bush and will now end up with a chance for the nomination.
Trump/Carson would be an unbeatable ticket. 55% and electoral landslide.
Not changing the bong water again, eh?
Don’t do drugs.That is a Democrat Party thing. That and perversion.And killing cops.And supporting Radical Islamic terrorists.And butchering babies.And Death Panels.
Well your education is republican. You have no tolerance for others. Now you are paranoid with everyday life. THEY, are not comming to get you Barbara. Buy more guns may help you at this time in your life.
There is never a time in life that is a bad time to buy a new gun.
I would love to have Jane Fonda’s autograph. Do you have it?
If you had sources you would not be a lazy unemployed POS living on Welfare and Medicaid.
Be nice Jack…I am a self-employed man of means and success.I chose to ignore your hate as God loves me…and the Buckeyes. :)
I have noticed Cruz is positioning himself as a helper to Trump. (Senate Iran deal, Kentucky woman ) This might also be a preview of things to come.
Cruz is the son of a former Communist, who admits he entered this country illegally,and admits he attended a state supported University (i.e. he stole taxpayer money). Further Cruz was born in Canada and is not eligible to be President. Trump would have to be an idiot to team up with Cruz.
Do we want a president whose birth certificate is in both English and FRENCH?!
Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship. He did everything he could, legally, to become American. It worked. He didn’t go to one of the best law schools in the world, graduated top of his class, and completely decimated ‘senior’ senators for nothing. Trump/Cruz would be a good ticket. But, so would Paul/Cruz. I’m also a fan of Chris Christie. GOP is stacked! With Hilary being a stupid twat and Bernie continuing to be an old fool, nobody from the DNC could put a dent in the GOP freight-train.
You know what Bush the Boring has delivered?
Sleepy time, which was perfect for the majority blue hair constituency in Florida.
Key for Trump is keeping the evangelicals (Reagan’s ‘Moral Majority’) together. Independents swing his way 2-1. My ‘sources’ have a Trump/Carson ticket drawing 15-20% of the black vote and 30-35% of Hispanic vote.Carly doesn’t ‘poll’ as well.
“My ‘sources’ have a Trump/Carson ticket ”
I don’t know who your ‘sources’ are, but it seems quite clear to me that the establishment GOP is pushing Carson over Trump.
In fact, Carson looks like the establishments only hope at this point of dethroning Trump. (and I’m not saying that’s going to happen, only that I think an attempt will be made via Trump smearing and holding up Carson as “calm” and “reasonable”, aside from the fact he’s black)
I’m going to suggest that you are going to see Trump attacking Carson before long- Trump likes Cruz more than Carson.
Look at that, someone over at the Trump campaign should flip me a $50 bill, they just posted this an hour ago…lol:

He needs to rebrand, plus he looks and sounds weak.
How do re-brand a ‘Bush’-particularly one that says people that break our FEDERAL LAWS do it as an ‘act of love’?
Toast.

Vote Bush, just proves what anyone with sense already knew. The double down on trickle down has been killing the Middle Class.
Bush’s campaign slogan should be “Making Mexico great again.” I saw that somewhere and thought how appropriate. LOL
Bush is so wimpish and wants amnesty for 35 millions illegals (the 11 million figure has been around for 15 years).
