Heh.
So this is what Wilson was gum-flapping over.
Rubio needs a water break and a nap when he wakes up in the morning – that’s NOT news, Jeb! campaign.
When you’re bested by the likes of Rubio, maybe it’s time to give up the ghost.
Jeb! is such a doofus.
(starts responding to this message, then bends down awkwardly to drink water instead)
Yeah, it was pretty badly executed by Bush, and clearly showed that he had been planning it. (which is why I am sure that his campaign planted the editorial in the first place…its classic Bush Machine tactics).
Rubio was well prepared for the attack, which of course never brought up the problem of his attendance for the past 5 years. And he pretty much smacked Bush around like a rag doll. Bush never recovered after that.
Classic out-of-touch Bush move to think a senator’s attendance record the year he is mounting a presidential election campaign will be anything to raise hay about. Most of us can only wish Jeb!'s bro mailed in his attendance each and every day of his eight years in office.
Nice little job application via Twitter Mr. Wilson. If something comes up that fits your qualifications, we’ll be in touch. Sorry, no, we don’t validate parking.
Chug it! Chug it! Chug it!
If this was a GOP strategist’s idea of game changing… Bush’s interjection was so mild, so easily dominated by Rubio, it was pathetic. And Rubio was giving a pretty bad answer to the moderator’s question. Jeb!'s hopeless
Bush would have been much smarter to concern-troll (love that phrase): “Well Marco, it must be tough with your lack of experience to keep all the balls in the air. Maybe you should talk to your constituents more about it…” AND Bush should have given himself plausible deniability that the FL opinion piece came from his SuperPac
Bush just comes off as some old man whose time has past him by. Eh. Eh. What’s that you say, sonny boy.
The best part (or worst for a Bush supporter) was when he broke into that Bush smirk that they all have right after he finished his attack on Rubio…and watching it slowly disappear as Rubio struck back and Bush realized he had nothing.
Message to GOP primary voters: Rubio’s a LIBERAL! He wants to give AMNESTY to illegals! He doesn’t share our AMERICAN values! He’s co-sponsored bills with AL FRANKEN and BERNIE SANDERS! He even co-sponsored the politically correct “Girls Count Act” with liberal ARAB Democrat senator Jeanne Shaheen!
Good call DJ64!
I’m wondering how Rick Wilson came to know about Jeb’s strategy. I assume he isn’t in Jeb’s camp, otherwise why would he leak this?
On the other hand, if he’s not one of Jeb’s confidante, there’s a serious leak somewhere. No wonder Rubio crushed him on this, he knew it was coming.
Yes - and I will repeat my prediction: JEB? is out before Thanksgiving…
