What's The Matter With Jeb?

++Jeb was supposed to be the front-runner and looking forward to mopping up operations just after Super Tuesday and then his coronation in the Florida primary. But something is going wrong.

++The Des Moines Register Poll has the Donald at 22% support, Ben Carson at 18% and JEB! floundering at 6%. The National polls are only marginally better for JEB!

++the Donald says he is "low-energy" and he just may be right. There is no spark. He opens his mouth and not even his brother's malapropisms come out. Remember when Wings Take Dreams? But W with his smirk actually seemed to enjoy campaigning. JEB! just lumbers along,sticking his foot in his mouth with every comment.

++The New York Times reported this morning that not only has JEB! lost three of his primary funders but other wealthy donors are pulling back from him as the GOP field seems fluid at this point. 

++The Times also reports he is cutting back on staff and restructuring his campaign for a slow,long slough with the anticipation that the process will be prolonged into 2016.

++Rinse Penis and the RNC had restructured the whole primary process and the convention date so that the GOP will blast forth before the Democrats and just overwhelm them with a insurmountable lead. But that calculation figured that the field would get winnowed down quickly to JEB! and Walker. The Donald has screwed that up. Walker once led Iowa and is lagging in the back of the pack.

++Maybe JEB! is getting the backlash against Iraq Bush III? He has handled the immigration question, common core and women's health issues clumsily. In fact, he has handled every issue clumsily.

++In the past week JEB! forgot his advisers recommendations not to get in a pissing war with the Donald. Every little blast has been a dud.

++Maybe Jeb should adopt Christie's policy of hiring FEDEX to search for illegal immigrants or put bar-codes on tourists so we can locate them? A Canadian Wall would be going too far and be imitative of the Donald. Walker actually said the Canadian Wall would keep the bad people out. What about shipping our bad people to Canada?

++I don't know what to make of the JEB! He is not crisp and he's totally off message. And we don't know what that message is. JEB! is not connecting with any voters. He doesn't even have the likable factor.
