Just you wait, when President Jeb Bush takes the oath of office, he's going to make every one of you pay for your evil words. He's gonna round you all up in front of your families and then one by one he's gonna give you a stern talking to :unsmith:

The structure is probably insurance against being sued for possible future attack ads. Each entity probably serves a different geographic market, or perhaps simply different operations within the PAC.

The structure is also probably because the same pool of people that use shell corps to move their money around the planet to avoid taxation are in the middle of a hostile takeover of the American electoral system. Simply the structure they're used to.

He just needs to punch Trump in the face at the next debate.

I mentioned this as a course of action a couple hundred of pages ago and I still fully believe he will jump in the polls significantly if he can successfully clobber Trump like a schoolyard bully.

That's if they replace his arm with a T-100's and someone else remote controls it.

There was an article a couple weeks back commenting about his awkward body:

quote:

But inside the campaign, Bush’s poor communications skills have become a source of tension among advisers and donors. One source told me that some senior Bush aides are frustrated that he wears glasses and suits on the trail, which makes it difficult for him to relate to a large swath of GOP primary voters (or at least the Trump ones). His weight has also been an issue. Bush dropped 40 pounds on the Paleo diet in preparation for his run, but the dramatic weight loss has left him appearing uncomfortable in his new body and prone to awkward movements

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFZoVIDx5dg

he references "that michael j fox series" as a reason he would kill baby hitler, "even if he was cute". it's so awkward.

i'm guessing he's told by his consultants he's got to act more cowboy-ish which is why he's talking about killing babies now. jeb is funny he can never win, even with these dumb questions by the press

There's something else I've noticed about ¡Jeb!'s campaign ads and I wonder if it has any effect.

His gubernatorial experience was so long ago that whenever he references it, the accompanying shots or still images are of a much different looking ¡Jeb!. No grey hair, heavier, not wearing the glasses. I mean, yeah, it was a while ago that he was governor, but when they provide video from that era, the images make it seem like it was a loooooooong time ago -- like from the '80s or something -- and makes him seem just that much more out of touch with the modern political climate.

Here's a still shot from that latest PAC ad, for example:



Doesn't help that he has the demeanor/worldview of a grandpa from Tampa.

Eh, I'm a Christmas FANATIC, but I don't really GAF how other people celebrate it as long as they're not millenial crybabies who complain about public/business Christmas decorations, promotion, etc.

I cannot overstate how obsessed I am with Christmas. AS SOON as Thanksgiving dinner is in my belly, I give myself the green-light to once again take up arms against the WAR ON CHRISTMAS and the battle does not end until the morning after the College Football champion is determined, which thankfully keeps getting pushed further and further after New Years giving me more Christmas time. My wife complains about me being white trash and claims that only "crazy people" would have more than one tree in the same room.

Obviously I am Republican as all hell too.

Ben Carson not personally erecting a Christmas tree in his own home doesn't bother me. Of course the white-house is a national institution and the property of the American people, so he drat WELL BETTER be OK with all out Christmas decorations there.

I think this cuts both ways, but I agree that it's mostly negative. It does mean it's politically out of touch and it shows in his weekly gaffe, but it can also help market towards Republicans who always yearn for a "better time". This is the party that idolizes Reagan and yearns for a time that technically never existed.

However this appeal is limited (because all those voters are dead now) and the fact he's a candidate from the 90s shows in his attempts to be cool with da kids, yo.
