"Jeb Can Fix It" has a nice double meaning:


He's assuring the public, "I can fix America"

He's assuring his donors, "Don't panic, I can fix this campaign!"

He should probably stay away from any "Jeb'll Fix It" branding unless he wants to be summoned as part of some kind of inquiry.

For those of you who don't remember, Eric Cantor was #2 in the House GOP, but was arrogant, overconfident, and ignored his primary opponent, an obscure eccentric professor from a university no one had heard of named Brat. Cantor's campaigns spent more on steak dinners than Brat did campaigning (not a joke). Brat won and is now the spiritual center of the Freedom Caucus, their knight in shining armor who struck at the heart of the GOPe and won.

So, in other words, Cantor is a perfect fit for the Bush campaign. I hope they find room in their budget for tens of thousands of dollars of steaks!

New Hampshire's ballot access is actually pretty damned easy. All you have to do is fill out a declaration of candidacy and fork over $1,000 and you're on the ballot in the famous New Hampshire Primary. New Hampshire Primary Ballot Access thus makes a fine gift for a retiring parent or a newlywed or some such...expensive but thoughtful, and they'll be able to say they got 7 votes or whatever in a US Presidential election for the rest of their lives.

To add to that, Cantor embodied everything that Americans hate about politicians. I don't believe he lost his primary because he wasn't conservative enough (he was one of the most conservative members of congress by most measures) but because he was a politicial ladder climber that didn't give a poo poo about his constituents, he wasn't even in his district on Election Day. To drive it home, once he realized his politicial career was over he abandoned his seat go to make millions working on wall st.

I couldn't think of a better campaign chair for JEB to embody every reason he is polling at 5%, and I'm sure Cantors ties to Wall St played no small point in bringing him on Board so that JEB can keep rattling his tin can on Wall st for some more of that sweet sweet super pac money.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:

I really have a hard time imagining JEB! dropping out before New Hampshire tbh

Me too, but it's really not looking good for him, and his numbers just keep slowly eroding. Can he take another 3 months of this? I mean, mentally? Especially when it becomes more and more apparent that he's not going to win? It gets embarrassing after awhile. He's polling behind "Not Sure" now. He'd be lucky to finish top 5 in Iowa. His ceiling in New Hampshire appears to be third place. He's going to get flattened in South Carolina, and he's not even polling well in Florida, his "home" state. He's not going to win. It's really as simple as that.

The only things holding him in it is he's not broke, so he can afford to stay in, and he's a Bush, so his pride will keep him in it. But he's not going to win, so at some point you have to ask why you're still in the race.

I also thought it was an unconscious thing. Generally what happens is that someone campaigning from the seat already looks fit for the job due to already having had the job. This is why there was a lot of talk in 2012 about how "presidential" Romney looked. The theory was that Obama's incumbency advantage would be lessened by the fact that Romney looked "presidential."

To be fair, Romney does look presidential. He looks more presidential than anyone who's ever actually been president.

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
Here are samples of presidents' presidentialness, for illustrative purposes, rated on a scale of ten along with the major influencing factors.

Obama: 5.2 (black)
Hillary: 5.7 (woman)
Dubya: 7.0 (chimp face)
Bill Clinton: 8.8 (doughy, slightly goofy expressions)
George H.W. Bush: 7.9 (vaguely nerdy/crotchety, inexplicably British face. 9.2 if not talking or smiling)
Reagan: 8.2 (wattle, hair incongruously black)
Carter: 7.8 (imperfectly parted hair, too obviously kind-hearted)
Ford: 6.8 (Biff-like)
LBJ: 6.6 (Nixon-style nose and cheeks, extremely low-hanging balls that necessitate specially tailored pants)
Nixon: 6.0 (Nixon)
Kennedy: 6.9 (young, looks like having an allergic reaction to a bee sting but still somehow handsome)
Eisenhower: 7.4 (doe-eyed, average height, but great poise)
Romney: 10.0 (nothing)

He has to actually win some primaries before he's even a real concern. Then he has to not bumble through the general which is pretty heavily slanted against him by any metric except maybe whites
