WASHINGTON -- What we've got here is failure to communicate. (click here)
Jeb Bush has been stumping his way across the country, explaining what he would do as president. But nobody seems to understand what the heck he's talking about.
In
July, he said that "people need to work longer hours" as part of an
economic recovery. Then he said his remarks had been misinterpreted.
A
couple of weeks later he said "we need to figure out a way to phase
out" Medicare. Then he complained that critics were taking his remarks
out of context.
A
week or so after that, he proclaimed that "I'm not sure we need half a
billion dollars for women's health issues." Then he said he misspoke....
Even his attacks against Donald Trump is misplaced if he wants to win the nomination. Bush should be seeking to unseat the other establishment candidates. The Trump supporters won't leave his candidacy. It is the populous arm of the Republican Party. Bush should be taking aim at establishment candidates like Walker and Rubio. Jeb Bush has a very sloppy campaign. He trying to find momentum that isn't his to have.
