Jeb Stumbles Again
« on: August 06, 2015, 01:34:59 am »
The DEMS would love to see Jeb get the GOP nomination, thus handing Hillary the White House.  I predict after tomorrow night's debate, he will fall even further in the polls.

Heading into debate, Jeb Bush stumbles again


It’s been a rough week for Jeb Bush — and it’s not even half over.

On Monday night, he stumbled over a question about his father — answers about his family’s legacy. He also struggled to explain how he would combat Islamic State forces in Syria. And on Tuesday, Democrats quickly attacked him for suggesting that he was “not sure we need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues” — a comment he then retracted and sought to clarify.

As he prepares to face front-runner Donald Trump and other rivals in the first GOP debate Thursday, Bush describes himself as the “joyful tortoise” in the long race for president — the candidate who is slowly building support while contenders such as Trump sprint ahead before falling back.

But Bush has fallen back himself: Debate host Fox News puts Trump’s polling average at 23.4 percent. Bush, his closest rival, once enjoyed similar numbers but now averages 12 percent support...

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I agree with Jeb's comment about spending "half a billion dollars for women's health issues" - but dang it, he had to back track and ruin it.
