Bush has been attacked by almost every media outlet in the United States since it was reported he was considering running and there are no signs of the media settling down. Many are not happy with his opinions on many topics including Common Core and illegal immigration. The most damning statement to date came from a POLITICO contributor when he said:
This Bush intimidates no one. His political skills are rusty, he’s a pedestrian speaker . . . The party’s organizational leaders who care only about winning argue for him. The largest share of top elected Republicans back him openly or covertly . . . [T]oday’s GOP is considerably less hierarchical and deferential to the leadership.
Even though he is constantly getting attacked he still continues to poll in the top tier along with Governor Scott Walker and Senator Marco Rubio, but he is slipping. One thing is clear, Bush might not be the shoe-in that people thought he would be. He has some battle scars and the opposition is making sure they are pointed out.
Recently Bush changed his campaign managers at the last minute because his top adviser, Sally Bradshaw felt it was Dave Kochel’s fault he was slipping in the polls. In reality the only person to thank for Bush declining in the polls is Bush. It is his positions and his fumbles in the limelight that are taking a toll on his campaign.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Rand Paul’s chief digital strategist Vincent Harris tweeted a picture of a sinking ship and named it “USS Bush Campaign.” Even though it was a bad Photoshop job, you get the point.
