Things Keep Getting Worse For Jeb

The problem Jeb has, is that one, he doesn’t believe in anything Conservative, and even worse, he is a piss poor actor, so he can’t even fake it. Two, he is a Beta male, eager to please and avoid confrontation, right to his core.

Jeb Bush went to the border town of McAllen, Tex., on Monday to raise money and to talk about immigration, in English and fluent Spanish. Because the Republican presidential campaign has been so fixated on border security and the immigrant peril — thank you, Donald Trump — it was a chance to see how the supposed expert on this fraught subject handled it.

Short version: He was awful.

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Bush managed to step on his message, to give Mr. Trump a boost and to offend Asian-Americans, a growing population that is every bit as important as Latinos in winning presidential elections. And he failed to give Latino voters any persuasive evidence that he had anything better to offer them than his opponents in a revoltingly xenophobic Republican campaign.

The rest of the article is a repeat of the old Christopher Walken Saturday Night Live bit, only instead of demanding more cowbell from Jeb, they are demanding more Cuckservatism as the solution to all his problems. Typical for an SJW article, it is full of unintentionally hilarious gems, from the ridiculous advice:

He should never let himself say the words “anchor babies” ever again.

To the accidental mentions of how liberalism demands you ignore reality:

He tried to explain that he had been talking about “Asian people” who arrive on tourist visas through organized schemes to give birth to American babies on American soil.

Though the phenomenon is real, Mr. Bush was blasted by Asian-American groups for repeating the slur.

As in, “Yes they are doing it, but mentioning that verifiable fact is racist, so we are all going to live under a delusion.”

The article even offered advice which doubled as a sad commentary on the reality of our professional political class:

When he does choose to tell the truth, he should find a more persuasive way to do it.

The few times he said something truthful, it didn’t seem believable. As opposed to all the times he lied and was perfectly believable.

Jeb’s train-wreck campaign gets worse:

And now Bush is apparently having trouble raising money and, incredibly, paying staffers:

A prominent Florida donor backing Bush said the former Sunshine State governor and his supporting super PAC are having to work even harder to keep up the pace, as hard-money contributions have been harder to come by in recent weeks.

“The debate performance scared a few people,” said Brian Ballard, a Tallahassee lobbyist backing Bush.

When Trump says repeatedly that Bush is too “low-energy” to be president, he may have a point.

“He seems a little frustrated with the Trump thing,” the donor said.

People are beginning to realize he has the smell of a loser about him. (That and you really don’t want to get on President Trump’s bad side by supporting his enemies.)

What is amazing about this all, is how avoidable it all was. Jeb had name recognition, the network, the donors, and the support of the machine. He was running under a party which espouses an ideology that is beautifully simple, truthful, practical, and logical. He could have been the guy to save the country and protect freedom. But every element of his body is so revolted by the simple beauty of nationalistic libertarian conservatism that he will sacrifice his entire political career, and maybe even destroy the future candidacies of untold Bushes yet to come.

What do all these professional political assholes have against loyalty to their nation and its people before strangers, and the aggressive support for liberty that is inherent to small government?

With leaders like this, no wonder the Apocalypse cometh™.

I can’t stand politicians, but….

The very worst are “republicans.”

At least the demonic party is fairly up front about their intention to rob successful (mostly Caucasian) people and shower contracts on their supporters (the pledge to shower Gibsmedats on the underclass is laughable when you note that 99 cents of every dollar is spent on the NGO’s, bureaucrats and (fill-in-the-blank) Industrial Complex apparatchiks (from Lockheed-Martin & Raytheon to Kaiser Permanente, Haaaavard and such) whose owners, shareholders and employees are demon-o-crats for the most part.

“Government” today is a system of universal and mutual robbery so intricate that apocalypse is the only possible change-agent. Voting will not help, but at least with Trump in the race, actual real things are being openly discussed.

Universal democracy first yields a nation of thieves. Once the great circle-jerk of pickpocketing reaches its limit, universal democracy next yields a nation of cannibals.

I sincerely believe that the recent stock swoon is, like Trump’s candidacy, a signal that the cannibal phase is about to begin. Caucasians no long ignore the swarms of “new faces” everywhere they go and realize that the recent flood of public policies (from ZIRP to Open Borders) is the preview of the Cannibal Apocalypse. Trump may win or lose, but a few years from now I expect a full-scale dictatorship to emerge, because voting will not satisfy the cannibalistic urge when ballots of the cannibals are met by bullets of the intended food. The cannibals will then move to full chaos mode (cutting out the middleman) but the forces of Order will demand force to defend (if nothing else) the food delivery chain. I expect large parts of America to become like Sarajevo was during the Bosnian War.

When you mention Jeb in relation to a Christopher Walken sketch, what immediately came to my mind wasn’t the “more cowbell” thing, but the Continental sketch. There, he’s playing this very cheesy, ersatz-suave pseudo-european guy who’s trying to seduce a woman (the camera in from her perspective). That’s who Jeb reminds me of: A phony trying to seduce us.

It may be that Donald is a phony too, but there is a difference. Trump plays it much much better. I am still leery of Trump, and I’m leery of anyone Ann Coulter seems to be pining for at the moment, but Trump is winning his arguments with me because he’s fighting, and that’s what I want out of our candidates. I know Jeb isn’t going to fight the Democrats. I know Christie and Rubio won’t either where it counts. I’m holding out hope for Walker and Cruz, but I’m sure you are all like me when I say that I’m tired of the tired old Republican two-step that wants to go along to get along, and I don’t want them getting along with Democrats anymore. I want them to fight these creatures, because our nation is at stake.
