This is bad news for ¡Jeb!, right?
“The Quinnipiac University poll, released Thursday, also shows Donald Trump smashing the GOP presidential competition garnering 28% support from registered Republican voters in the 17-member field. The real estate mogul’s closest competitor is retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who tallies 12%.
Just 7% said they would vote for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a record low since November 2013. …”
Maybe this is why Rich Lowry said ¡Jeb!, who he compared to a milquetoast Ned Flanders, couldn’t ignite so much as “an ember” of enthusiasm with conservative voters.
Meanwhile, Trump has picked up an endorsement from the cuckservative who was the architect of John McCain’s defeat in 2012:
“Politicians and pundits are making excuses for you. They say you’re so sick of bad government and polarized politics that you’re willing to take a chance on making Donald Trump the most powerful man on Earth. I say you’ve taken leave of your senses. I say you’re delusional. I say you’ve confused reality with reality TV. I say you’d rather sulk and bitch about America’s problems than help fix them.
Do you really think the dislocations caused by the transition from an industrial society to an information economy can be reversed with threats and tariffs? Do you really think rising urban crime rates, structural unemployment, failing schools, the proliferation of single-parent households, and the growing heroin epidemic can all be fixed by sealing our borders? Do you really think it’s even possible to round up 11 million people, the vast majority of whom are hard-working, decent folks, and force them out of the country? Do you really think that would make America better?
If you do, I say you’re looking for scapegoats, not solutions. I say you’re not patriots trying to make America great again. You’re fools prepared to hurt the country and the world far more than any political “establishment” has or would ever do.”
Yeah, we’re fools for not believing in open borders, political correctness, disastrous wars like Iraq, billionaires using politicoans as their personal puppets and an “information economy” that will employ millions at Facebook, Google, and Amazon.
