'Misoverestimated': Jeb Bush's Terrible Week
It's only Thursday and it wouldn't be a stretch to say Jeb Bush has had the worst week of any presidential candidate this cycle. He's aligning himself with his brother's disastrous foreign policy, running scared from the conservative wing of his party, flubbing answers to simple questions and, unsurprisingly, tanking in the polls. Speaking in the language coined by his brother, Bushism, it looks like we "misoverestimated" Jeb and his bid for the White House. Take a look at Bush's wince-inducing week:
Iraq
Politico: Was Jeb dropped on head as a child?: "So to fully appreciate the importance of Jeb’s revelation that George W. will be his chief adviser when it comes to the Mideast, you’ve got to keep in mind that Jeb’s entire campaign is built around one selling point: Jeb is the smart one in the family." New York Times: Wow, Jeb Bush Is Awful: "The bottom line is that so far he seems to be a terrible candidate. He couldn’t keep his 'I’m-my-own-man' mantra going through the spring. He over-babbled at a private gathering. He didn’t know how to answer the Iraq question, which should have been the first thing he tackled on the first day he ever considered that he might someday think for even a minute about running for president."Scott Walker's Re-Ups His Extreme Anti-Choice Agenda
Scott Walker doubled down on his anti-choice agenda yesterday, saying he would support the 20 week abortion ban introduced by Republicans in the Wisconsin state legislature. Walker is in favor of extreme policies when it comes to a woman's right to choose, opposing abortion even in cases of rape, incest or to protect the mother's life. The governor also supports personhood which could restrict women's access to birth control and hurts families trying to conceive through nontraditional methods like In Vitro fertilization. Take a look at more of his extreme record below:
No Exceptions
WALKER OPPOSED ABORTION WITH NO EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE, INCEST, OR TO PROTECT THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER PolitiFact: Walker Opposed Abortion Even In The Cases Of Rape, Incest, And Protecting The Life Of The Mother. According to PolitiFact, “In the race for governor, Democrat Tom Barrett said his opponent, Republican Scott Walker, "wants to make abortion illegal, even in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother." Walker acknowledges that is his position. We rate Barrett’s claim True.” [PolitiFact, 10/26/10]MEMO: Mike Huckabee is the GOP in all its offensive glory
Mike Huckabee represents the extreme majority of the Republican Party in all its offensive glory. After winning the 2008 Iowa caucus and racking up the second most delegates that year, Huckabee is jumping into a crowded GOP primary where candidates are already trying to prove they’re the most conservative. Huckabee will immediately pull the primary even further to the whack job fringes of the Tea Party. He compared abortion to slavery. He said women “cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government.” And while Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and the rest of the field jumped to support Mike Pence’s religious discrimination law, Huckabee outflanked the pack and said: When business people you sit in church with every week are told they're going to pay a fine of $1,000 a day and possibly go to jail because their conscience won't let them make a wedding cake with two men on the top of the wedding cake.
