Jeb's super PAC has spent $50 million and people still don't like Jeb...

No amount of advertising will change the fact Jeb is on the wrong side of several issues key to the base.

Via WaPo:

The super PAC supporting Jeb Bush is racing through its massive war chest much faster than money is coming in, spending close to $50 ­million in a record blitz that has so far failed to lift the former Florida governor’s sputtering presidential candidacy.

The group, Right to Rise, has already gone through nearly half of the $103 million it brought in during the first half of the year, records show. It raised only about $13 million in the five months that followed, according to a person familiar with the figure.

Jeb Bush wakes up and calls Donald Trump "unhinged"

Who woke Jeb up?

Donald Trump is unhinged. His "policy" proposals are not serious.

G. W.Bush dislikes Ted Cruz more than Donald Trump?

Strange enemies...

Via Politico

Inside a sleek Denver condominium, George W. Bush let a hundred donors to his brother’s campaign in on a secret. Of all the rival Republican candidates, there is one who gets under the former president’s skin, who he views as perhaps Jeb Bush’s most serious rival for the party’s nomination.
It isn’t Donald Trump, whose withering insults have sought to make Jeb pay a political price for his brother’s presidency. It also isn’t Marco Rubio, Jeb’s former understudy who now poses a serious threat to his establishment support.

It’s George W. Bush’s former employee — Ted Cruz.

Jeb Bush: 10th Amendment trumps the 2nd Amendment...

Jeb must be on drugs. Donald Trump has a saner position on the 2nd Amendment. 

Stephen Colbert: Well, the right to have an individual firearm to protect yourself is a national document, in the Constitution, so shouldn’t that also be applied national…
Jeb Bush: No. Not necessarily…There’s a 10th amendment to our country, the Bill of Rights has a 10th amendment that says powers are given to the states to create policy, and the federal government is not the end all and be all. That’s an important value for this country, and it’s an important federalist system that works quite well.

Hump Day Video: Jeb Bush Puts The ‘Stump For Trump’ Gals To Sleep

JEB BUSH PRESIDENTIAL RUN IS PUTTING ALL AMERICANS TO SLEEP

Trump Ad: “This is no act of love as Jeb Bush said ”

Jeb Bush: Donald Trump is proposing to build "a wall that can't be built."

Well, it can't be built by limp-wristed losers like Jeb Bush and the rest of the current GOP leadership. They don't want to build it. 

Former Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate said the majority of illegal immigrants are coming from Central America, not Mexico, and Donald Trump is proposing to build "a wall that can't be built."
"He wants everyone deported, which would tear family lives asunder," Bush said to host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on AM 970 in New York. Bush added that Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship, a right currently guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, "would probably be unconstitutional."
"What Donald Trump is proposing is a wall that can't be built, and if it was, it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars," said Bush of the Republican front-runner's plan. Trump has said he "will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will have Mexico pay for that wall."

As Trump has pointed out, China built a wall that can be seen from space, and is several times as as long, hundreds of years ago using iron age hand tools. 

Ted Cruz straightens Jeb Bush out on his citizenship...

Ted Cruz was no an anchor baby. His mother was a U.S. citizen...

DES MOINES, Iowa— Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday fired back at Jeb Bush, who a day earlier suggested the senator, who was born in Canada to a son of a Cuban immigrant and American-born mother, was the beneficiary of birthright citizenship.
“I appreciate Governor Bush’s concern. I would note it seems he’s having a problem and getting confused between legal immigration and illegal immigration,” Cruz told reporters here ahead of his soapbox speech at the Iowa State Fair. “With regard to legal citizens, I’m a United States citizen because my mother was a United States citizen, born in Wilmington, Delaware. And it has been the law since the beginning of the country that the children of American citizens born here or abroad are American citizens by birth.”
Cruz, whose father came to the U.S. from Cuba, is advocating the repeal of birthright citizenship protections for the children of illegal immigrants, a position highlighted this week after Donald Trump promoted the idea in his controversial immigration plan.
A day earlier, Bush suggested in New Hampshire that Cruz was the beneficiary of the broader birthright citizenship protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Bush opposes altering that language.

Good News: Jeb Bush wants to govern like Lyndon Johnson...

I am beginning to think Jeb really doesn't want to be president.

Via Breitbart:

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said he would strive to be like Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat famous for expanding the U.S. welfare state through the “Great Society,” if he were elected president.

According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy.
Bush did not address Johnson’s Great Society and War on Poverty programs, about which Ronald Reagan once famously quipped, “We had a war on poverty, and poverty won.” 
Instead, he was referencing Johnson’s mastery of the so-called sausage-making process in Congress.  
He vowed to approach the presidency as “master of the Senate,” as biographer Robert Caro described Johnson.

Jeb Bush goes 'all in' for climate change fraud...

Tell me the difference between Jeb and Hillary again?

Via Sun Times:

GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush says that he believes human activity is contributing to climate change, and that the U.S. is obligated to do something about it.
“The climate is changing; I don’t think anybody can argue it’s not. Human activity has contributed to it. I think we have a responsibility to adapt to what the possibilities are without destroying our economy, without hollowing out our industrial core,” Bush said in an interview with Bloomberg BNA published Thursday.
Those comments contradict the position Bush laid out in mid-June during a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire.

GOPe tries to buy the nomination for Jeb Bush...

Jeb's ,Super Pac has raised $103 million already...

Shock and awe GOPe style:

(National Journal) It appears Bush raised even more than what was disclosed on Thursday. That mammoth figure still doesn’t include a third political committee in Bush’s orbit, the Right to Rise PAC Inc. When Bush first announced last December that he was “actively” exploring a presidential run, he said he was forming a PAC to help promote “leaders, ideas and policies.” Neither the super PAC nor campaign responded to an inquiry about the other PAC’s fundraising figures in 2015…
Bush formally declared his candidacy in Miami on June 15 and raised an average of $710,000 per day for the rest of the month. To put his $11.4 million haul in perspective, it would require Bush to have raised the maximum donation of $2,700 in primary dollars from more than 4,200 donors—in 16 days.
His super PAC, Right to Rise USA, run by one of Bush’s longtime confidantes, is not constrained by contribution limits. Bush had roughly 500 donors contribute more than $25,000, according to figures released by his super PAC Thursday. Of the $103 million raised, the super PAC said that it had more than $98 million cash on hand.

No change: Jeb Bush and Obama immigration positions are virtually the same

 Obama said he would gladly rescind his illegal immigration EO memorandum if Republicans give him the comprehensive reform bill he wants. Jeb has said the same thing. You would have a hard time sliding a piece of paper between their positions.

Via Hot Air:

The headlines I’ve seen this morning about this exchange claim that Bush said he wouldn’t rescind Obama’s executive action “right away,” which is sort of true. What Jeb said is that he’d rescind the amnesty as part of a deal with Congress on immigration. That won’t happen on day one of his presidency, so yeah, technically O’s order would remain intact for at least a few months while President Bush works out the details of the new bill with the House and Senate. But focusing on the timing misses the point of what Jeb’s implying: If Republicans in Congress refuse to go along with his plan for a new comprehensive bill, Bush 45 will presumably … keep Obama’s executive amnesty in place indefinitely. The price of getting it rescinded is to give the president what he wants, at least to some degree, on immigration. That’s the same type of Hobson’s-choice extortion that Obama’s been engaged in for most of his second term. Congress can either pass what the White House demands or the White House will simply pass it for them. Now here’s Jeb suggesting he’ll use O’s actions as leverage against the legislature too. Even worse, when Megyn Kelly raises the possibility that Obama’s amnesty will be struck down in federal court, Jeb says he thinks the legal challenge will succeed. Does that mean he thinks O’s order is illegal? If so, why on earth isn’t he promising to undo it on day one as president, no questions asked, as Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have promised to do?

Jeb Bush refuses to sign no tax pledge...

In other words, he is planning on raising taxes if that is needed to get a deal from Democrats...

Via Real Clear Politics:

Jeb Bush wanted to talk about tax reform, which he hopes to make central to his presidential bid.
But, at a National Review summit in Washington on Thursday, the discussion pivoted to Bush’s refusal to sign Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge.
“Is there any circumstance in which you would take that pledge?” asked National Review Editor Rich Lowry.
“No,” Bush said firmly — and began, as he does when he is asked this question, to lay out his record: as Florida governor, he reminded Lowry, he cut taxes every year.
“My record is clear,” Bush concluded. “In fact, my record is as good or better than any.”
But Lowry pressed Bush on the pledge. “So, it’s a principled opposition to pledges of that sort?”
“Yeah,” Bush said.
“So, will you promise not to raise taxes?” Lowry tried, to laughter from the crowd.
This week, Sen. Marco Rubio signed the pledge as a presidential candidate, as he has during previous campaigns. Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, too, have signed on the dotted line.

I don't know who the GOP nominee will be in 2016, but their name won't be Bush. 

Jeb Bush: NSA domestic spying is the "best part of the Obama administration."

WTH? Jeb is melting down as a candidate. 

Jeb Bush continues to defend the National Security Agency's unconstitutional domestic spying program, telling a conservative talk show host that this gross encroachment on the Fourth Amendment is the "best part of the Obama administration."
There's absolutely no evidence that the National Security Agency's domestic spying program has prevented a terrorist attack in the United States. This is a conclusion reached by the New America Foundation and the White House Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technology. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board could "not identif[y] a single instance involving a threat to the United States in which the program made a concrete difference in the outcome of a counterterrorism investigation."
Bush, however, hails the massive expansion of the NSA and its domestic spying program. "I would say the best part of the Obama administration has been his continuance of the protections of the homeland using the big metadata programs, the NSA being enhanced," the former Florida governor told Michael Medved on Tuesday.

Jeb Bush leading GOP 2016 field by 10 points...

I don't think another Bush or Clinton in the White House in 2016 would be best for the country.Hillary would crush Jeb Bush because she has more name recognition and there isn't enough gap between their positions to really motivate voters.

Via Hot Air:

It’s the first time since Election 2012, notes CNN, that any Republican has held a lead greater than the MOE. Establishmentum?
A poll this early, when Jeb momentarily has the field to himself, is 99 percent useless — but since it’s a slow holiday news week, let’s explore that remaining one percent. Bush has gained nine points since last month’s poll, a bounce obviously driven by his splashy early entry into the race. Will Chris Christie and Rand Paul get similar bounces when they jump in? Here’s your benchmark.
He takes nearly one-quarter — 23% — of Republicans surveyed in the new nationwide poll, putting him 10 points ahead of his closest competitor, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who tallied 13%.
Physician Ben Carson comes in third, with 7% support, and Sen. Rand Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are both tied for fourth with 6%.

Obvious: DNC fund raises off a possible Jeb Bush presidential run...

With all due respect, we don't need another Bush or Clinton in the White House in 2017.

Via The Hill

The Democratic National Committee is fundraising off former Gov. Jeb Bush’s (R-Fla.) announcement that he will “actively explore” a White House run, by trying to tie him to the policies of his brother, former President George W. Bush.
“Jeb Bush is starting to run for president,” the DNC said in an email to supporters hours after his announcement. “Think about how President Bush worked out last time.”
The email included a photo of his brother, with links encouraging supporters to chip in between $3 and $100 to “help Democrats beat” Jeb Bush.
Bush announced early Tuesday that he will form a leadership PAC next month to “help me facilitate conversations with citizens across America to discuss the most critical challenges facing our exceptional nation.”
Bush, who posted his announcement on Facebook, wrote about his “thoughtful consideration of the kind of strong leadership I think America needs” and his desire for “a conversation about restoring the promise of America.”
Democrats quickly seized on the announcement, arguing that the former Florida governor will champion the economic policies of his father and brother, both former presidents.
