Jeb Bush Is Not a National Candidate

Jeb Bush Is Not a National Candidate

"SNIP...............




Peggy Noonan: “He’s not good at the merry aggression of national politics. He never had an obvious broad base within the party. He seemed to understand the challenge of his name in the abstract but not have a plan to deal with it. It was said of Scott Walker that the great question was whether he had the heft and ability to go national. The same should have been asked of Jeb. He had never been a national candidate, only a governor. Reporters thought he was national because he was part of a national family.”

“I speak of his candidacy in the past tense, which is rude though I don’t mean it rudely. It’s just hard to see how this can work. By hard I mean, for me, impossible.”

The Bush's controlled the media. Scary how much and the Republicans are complaining about the liberals but they don't complain when they have it their way, which is most of the time. See the Movie, it is great, they forced Dan Rather and Mary Marpes out of their careers on faulty charges of fraudulent information. Shows why we never have any real news programs anymore.

Clealry they're getting the message out...trying to get Jeb to drop out...they know he's a lost cause...now watch them try and prop up Rubio....they want an insider who's on their side and they can manipulate.
