Jeb Bush has lost his frontrunner status and his desperation is apparent. Jeb’s become Donald Trump’s chief attacker, most recently releasing a web video that highlights Donald Trump’s past support for liberal policies and praise for Hillary Clinton. In his determined effort to damage Trump, Jeb forgot that he once sang a similar tune about Hillary Clinton:
“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy” –Jeb Bush, 2013
He even attacked Donald Trump for of all things…being from New York!!
But, The Donald is not the only one on the receiving end of Jeb Bush’s ire – women, minorities, seniors and more have felt the wrath. Driven to the far-right by Trump’s unexpected rise in the polls, Jeb’s campaign has completely lost direction.
Here’s five more reasons Jeb’s campaign is flailing:
“Jeb Bush: People Need to Work Longer Hours” [ABC News, 7/8/15]
“Jeb Bush pushes to ‘phase out’ Medicare” [MSNBC, 7/23/15]
“Jeb Bush calls Black Lives Matter a ‘slogan’” [MSNBC, 7/23/15]
Jeb said, “I’m not sure we need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues.” [New York Times, 8/4/15]
Jeb describes the children of immigrants using the offensive term “anchor babies.” [POLITICO, 8/19/15]
What a difference a few months makes. Earlier this year, Jeb Bush planned a positive campaign, saying “tearing down other people won’t help at all.” Maybe Jeb’s more like Donald Trump than he thought!
