Let’s take a break from the Trump vs. Rubio vs. Cruz debates to mock the biggest loser of this election cycle. That infamy belongs to none other than Jeb Bush aka The Dauphin. Although personally a decent man, the uncrowned prince expects the GOP nomination to be handed to him. This has caused a rejection on the part of Republican voters who didn’t want the Dauphin to run.

In desperation mode, Jeb is paying people to fills eats at his rally. In an embarrassing moment, some of those stand up demanded their pay. The Dauphin was not too pleased.

A little flier showed up early Monday morning on social media.

A handful of Twitter users supporting various Republican presidential candidates tweeted a photo of slip of paper with a headline reading “$$$ Earn fast cash today! $$$” and an offer for $25 an hour to attend Jeb Bush’s final campaign event at the Embassy Suites in downtown Des Moines.

The implication: Bush was so desperate he was paying for faux supporters seven hours before the caucuses.

[….]

The notion that some kind of gamesmanship was afoot gained legitimacy at the event itself, when moments after Bush began speaking two young men stood up and very conspicuously demanded to be paid for their “seat filling.”

“We’ve been here for over two hours and we haven’t gotten paid for our time,” one man said, unleashing a torrent of boos and jeers from the audience.

“That is such — get out of here, man,” Bush shot back.

Staffers from his campaign approached the men and escorted them out, and Bush continued his speech. As he opened the floor for questions, though, he made sure the plants had all been removed.

If this is not bad enough, the Dauphin has spent 5,000 per vote.

In very early national polling in the Republican nomination race, Jeb Bush was the clear front-runner. But he never led in Iowa, where first Mike Huckabee, then Scott Walker, and then Donald Trump — interrupted briefly by Ben Carson and more effectively by Ted Cruz — held the lead. As recently as April, though, Bush was in a close second, trailing Walker by about three points.

Walker’s gone, and Bush ended up in sixth place Monday night, pulling in less than 3 percent of the vote. Between April and the caucus, Bush’s campaign spent $27.4 million dollars (according to FEC reports) and dropped 11 points in the polls. Not all of that spending was in Iowa, but Bush refused to give up on the state — and it cost him.

The Dauphin who called illegal immigration an act of love, then has the aducaity to run an ad attacking Rubio on Immigration.

Jeb Bush has turned into a sad and pathetic figure.  This is not the end of the Bush dynasty, waiting in the wings is the Duc D’Orleans George P. Bush!

This song is perfect for the Dauphin’s campaign.

Jeb Bush is a loser!

Rubio introduces bill to prevent bailout of the Insurance industry

One provision of Obamacare that is not mentioned is the risk corridor. This is a bailout of the insurance industry if enough people do not sign onto the exchanges. Marco Rubio is introducing a bill to eliminate this provision of Obamacare.

Obamacare includes a provision that allows the federal government to funnel taxpayer dollars to insurers that face the prospect of losing too much money under the new health care law, and conservative critics want to repeal it.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said the provision could amount to a bailout of the insurance industry, which stands to lose if the troubled Obamacare exchanges fail to enroll enough people to make the system financially viable. Obamacare enrollment has already been stymied by glitches at the healthcare.gov sign-up site and it could be dampened again under an administrative fix President Obama proposed this week to resolve problems with millions of cancelled policies.

Will this bill go anywhere? No. But it exposes Obama’s lie that Obamacare will not add one penny to the deficit. This risk corridor provision is nothing but an unlimited bailout of the insurance industry.

Hispanics open to voting for Rubio but very leery of the Republican Party

If there is any proof that the Republican brand is damage, this article is the smoking gun. They interview various Hispanics about voting for Marco Rubio. Many expressed they would or look at him. What is holding back some of these Hispanics, is the bad image of the Republican Party.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Sorry, Washington superstar, Time magazine coverboy and hip-hop maven, she’s never heard of you.
“Marco Rubio?” said 28-year-old Memorie Annese, taking her daughters to a public library in this city tucked amid soaring mountains and the Rio Grande.
But the Mexican-American, school bus-driving union member who voted for President Barack Obama didn’t hesitate when asked if she would consider a Republican candidate with immigrant roots.
“Heck yeah — if he’s good,” Annese said. “There’s a connection.”

[….]

Interviews with voters in Hispanic-rich New Mexico, which Obama won twice, and Texas, a Republican bastion inching Democratic, suggest that Rubio could inspire goodwill and pride among minorities who shunned the GOP in the past two presidential elections.
“Having a president who is Hispanic, I can’t even explain it,” said Esmirna Corona, a college student in El Paso. “If people see Rubio is Hispanic, they’ll take time to check him out. With Mitt Romney, I was like no. Then I looked at his position on immigration and was like definitely not.”

[….]

Voters who say they would be drawn to Rubio through culture insist it would take more than that to actually pull the lever. They consistently describe the GOP as out of touch, the party for the rich — qualities reinforced by the stiff, multimillionaire Romney.

“We identify with Democrats because they are empathetic to our needs. With the budget, the first thing Republicans try to cut are the social programs,” said Corona, 20, the El Paso college student, praising what Head Start did for her as a child. She said her peers disagree with Republicans on a range of social issues, including gay marriage

[….]

Honestly, I would consider him because he’s Hispanic,” said Julio Sanchez, 19, a business marketing major at the University of Texas at El Paso. “I could always see myself voting Republican. The reason I’m Democrat is that’s the way I was raised.”
“It’s ingrained in us,” said Gabriel Lira, 24, who was sitting at a table in the same coffee shop as Sanchez. “Growing up, it was ’Republicans rich, Democrats help the middle class.’ I’m interested in having a Hispanic president, but if he’s going to be against everything I want, obviously I’m not going to vote for him.”

The Republican Party really has an image problem. They never explain how their policies would help the Middle Class while it doesn’t help that the last two Republican Presidents were economic failures. The perception that Hispanics have of Republicans is part of a larger image problem the GOP has with the country as a whole.
