I’m struggling to get started today. The youngster is home today, no camp and kindergarten doesn’t start until Wednesday. And I have other work obligations that I need to attend to. When I can get a chance, however, I am going to explore the greater meaning of the following quote:
“Look, Jeb Bush was a very successful governor, he’s a thoughtful man, he was a good, conservative governor. But every day, Donald Trump is emasculating Jeb Bush, and Republican primary voters are not going to default to the establishment candidate who is being weakened by these attacks that go unresponded to.”
— GOP strategist Steve Schmidt, quoted by Politico.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a candidate as badly emasculated as Jeb Bush has been over the last several months, and he seems uniquely ill-suited to respond.
