...Jeb is not the *worst* GOP POTUS nominee wannabe. Jeb Bush plummets in latest national poll Jeb Bush's support among Republicans nationally has plummeted to the low single digits in the latest Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, as the former Florida governor's campaign seeks to hit refresh with its "Jeb Can Fix It" tour. Donald Trump and Ben Carson, meanwhile, continued to lead the field, with Carson outperforming Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical general-election matchup. In the latest poll, conducted after last week's third GOP debate in which Bush delivered a mediocre performance, *just 4 percent* of Republican and independent Republican-leaning voters said they would support Bush in their state's primary. In the September survey, Bush earned 10 percent, trailing Trump, Carson and Carly Fiorina.

Jeb's biggest handicap (IMO) is that he's too much like his old man. He's fundamentally a gentleman who is uncomfortable slinging mud like Trump and some others. It will be interesting what the political climate is like when the entertainment being provided by Trump and Carson comes to a close as people start getting serious as to who they would really be comfortable with as their nominee. I don't know who it will be, but my guess right now is either Rubio or Jeb. Rubio is smart and a quick study but he has to move away from the Tea Party influences. Jeb just needs to be Jeb and focus on issues. He shouldn't be advised or tempted to fight fire with fire with Trump. |
