Argument Against Jeb Bush

Bush uses appeals throughout his formal speech to help advance the argument he proposes. While doing this Bush takes his listeners on a roller coaster of emotion, appealing to pathos and to logos, then to ethos and back to

“Make America Great Again,” the overarching theme of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump’s campaign brings to light the blunt arrogance of our beloved Donald J. Trump. Trump: a billionaire businessman, entrepreneur, and part time reality TV monkey, started his presidential run as of June 2015. He has, since his declaration of his run, been the frontrunner for the GOP Poll breaking out above the other candidates of Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and many others by consistent double digits. His run so far has been filled with all things Americans lovingly refer to as in its entirety, Donald Trump: arrogance, controversial pursuits, and lack of explanation to anything he has planned. Though Trump himself has decades of experience with economics,

In George Bush’s campaign advertisement, two people were talking about George Bush: Barbara Bush and a male narrator. The first speaker, Barbara Bush spoke highly of George Bush through a sincere tone as she described how she wished people saw him as she sees him. The next speaker was a male narrator who also spoke highly of George Bush in a reverent tone as he explained that George Bush met every challenge given to him by his country. The tones each speaker used, reaffirmed the message

The Adams’, Roosevelt’s, Kennedy’s, and even Clinton’s earned the ability to have their name represent power and respect. The Bush’s have not earned that ability, but they will continue to try. One Bush was enough, but we had to endure a 2nd, and entertain the possibility of a 3rd. Jeb Bush just plainly does not have “it”, but that did not stop his establishment fueled Super PAC from raising him millions of dollars. The populace has shown that they are looking for an outsider, and Jeb Bush is the furthest thing from it. He may have been more successful if ran in 2012, when he would have been a Bushier version of Mitt Romney, but in 2016 his campaign has faltered heavily. We are seeing that the “Smart” Bush is not all that smart. He is not charismatic or quick on his feet (saying Margaret Thatcher should be on the $10 bill was ill-advised), so he just has his record and name to run on. His reputation as Governor is marred by the Terry Schiavo case, but he did bring in job growth and balanced budgets. Running on his family name might not yield the best of returns, as the taste of his brother has not yet left the national pallet. Jeb!, despite all his faults, is one of the most practical people running. He is statesmanlike, has knowledge on the issues, and seems to have a genuine desire to help the American people. Jeb likely won’t win the nomination, but the GOP could do a lot

There were several mistakes that Bush made during his attempts to capture reelection. During his 1988 election campaign George Bush made a powerful promise that captured the interest of many. The promise was clear and simple, "read my lips, no new taxes." Many of his supporters held him to this promise. In June of 1990 the president agreed to a tax increase that was aimed at lowering the national debt. Most outraged by this were conservative republicans, as a result they abandoned Bush and granted Perot their support. The mere involvement of third party candidates has helped shape the outcome in previous presidential elections. Since 1860 third party candidates have appeared in seven presidential elections, candidates of the incumbent party have lost six of those (Burnham 1993, 1). Public opinion polls are very important; they provide a general idea of how the public feels about certain issues. Most candidates campaigning for office know this and try to address the concerns of the people. Throughout the general election stage public opinion polls indicated that many Americans didn't approve of how Bush was handling the economy. The following indicate the percentage that disapproved: October 1990 55%, March 1991 43% (Gulf War Victory), and in November 1991 66% (Frankovic 1993, 112). Bush knew he couldn't skate around the issue. When he did address the issue he immediately pointed the finger. Bush claimed that he was faced with a "do nothing"

Donald Trump’s campaign is serious. He built a complete voter base, does not mind being insulted by the media, and, to appeal to more voters, wrote a book titled Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again. The book successfully details his outline for how he will fix America using certain nuts and bolts. The idea of writing a book for conservative, politically active American voters makes sense, as it allows them to study the candidate’s political ideologies in depth without bias on how to interpret them from mass media. Each chapter’s introduction talks about a separate political problem, with the rest of the chapter left to describe how or why the introduction makes sense. Although his explanations may not make sense to the majority of liberals, he still manages to develop logos, in terms of the book, throughout the chapters.

In his introduction he claims no one else controls him: “The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script.” While building ethos for himself, he also hints other speakers allow selfish people to manipulate them. To establish Barry Goldwater’s credibility for the presidential office, Reagan illustrates Goldwater’s unselfishness through a series of heart-warming anecdotes. After describing Goldwater freely flying soldiers home for Christmas, Reagan recalls Goldwater’s willingness to spend time with a dying invalid during “the hectic split-second timing of a campaign” simply because “I'd like her to know I care.” Reagan praises Goldwater’s compassion to appeal to the audience’s desire for affection and care.

Moreover, they believed Trump’s novelty act as the “outsider” would soon wear out and make GOP voters collectively come to their senses and coalesce behind either Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush, the party’s blue-eyed boys. This cocksure feeling has now given way to one of dread as Trump keeps notching victories in the primary season. A new Rasmussen poll puts Trump 15 points clear of closest rival Ted Cruz. More worryingly, 24% of Trump’s base will “very likely” vote for him if he runs as an independent, effectively torching GOP hopes of preventing a Democratic three-peat in the White House.

On the front runner Donald Trump, a candidate he has criticized a lot during his short lived presidential bid and after when endorsing Jeb Bush. “Donald, I don’t think he understands what makes America great,” Graham said in a more serious tone while urging reporters to ask Trump harder questions. “Our party and our country is going to have to step up its game.”

The idea of change played a prominent role in both the Election of 2016 and the Election of 1980. The elections came at a time when the people needed new, innovative ideas to revolutionize the fragile state of the nation. In 1980, as resentment towards the Carter administration rapidly increased, the Reagan administration provided hope and a chance to return to the nationalistic prime of the United States. Reagan utilized the people’s pride in America as a means of uniting voters from a variety of backgrounds. Trump made bold statements, all behind a lofty promise to return America to the golden age of the Reagan administration. Trump used the slogan “Make America Great Again” as a means of highlighting the United States and the citizens above the world’s view of the nation. Similarly, Reagan promised that the United States would never return to ‘stagnation’ and by prioritizing the economic standing of the nation, Reagan rallied democrats, republicans, and independents alike. Each candidate utilized lofty promises to do things differently than the previous administration to unify a new group of voters. The Election of 1980 and the Election of 2016 also contained similarities in the failures of the

Lynn Woolley, the writer of this article, starts his argument sdaying “Jeb Bush has a huge campaign war chest, and he is beginning to use it. For someone like me and probably you, that means nothing. My decision on Jeb Bush was made long ago. The decision is “no” and it is not going to change. But Mr. Bush and the rest of the field knows that most people are not like us. Most people are not paying attention”.

Greene’s final chapters discuss the lead up to, and the conduct of Bush’s re-election campaign. The Budget crisis doomed Bush’s run for another term as president. Loss of the chairman of the Republican National Committee hurt reelection campaign too. Atwater, who engineered Bush’s first campaign success, succumbed to a sudden illness. Bush had a new campaign manager that was not an adequate replacement for

Donald Trump, the 69-year-old New York real estate mogul and unrepentant bigot, is still dominating the Republican presidential primary polls. Trump’s sudden ascendance, accelerated by his willingness to insult virtually any ostensible ally within the conservative movement, has left GOP leaders dumbfounded. How did this caricature of a Republican politician, who has never held elected office, and whose personal ideology is remarkably fluid, usurp more experienced, more conservative, and better-funded candidates like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker? Within this vacuum of understanding, an almost-believable conspiracy theory has obtained currency: Donald Trump is in fact a false flag candidate whose actual mission is electing Hillary Clinton as President.

Jeb Bush has received criticism from democrats because of the comments that he recently made about Medicare. He attended a Town Hall in New Hampshire on Thursday, July 23, 2015 where he defended his comments. Many people have accused of him of saying that he wants to do away with the Medicare system completely. However, Jeb stated that he wants to put policies in place to reform the Medicare system and protect it for future generations.

During his acceptance speech in 1988, Republican Vice President, George H. W. Bush, said, “read my lips, no new taxes” (Bush as cited by Matthews, 2004). Unfortunately, in the wake of financial pressure President Bush in 1990 implemented a new tax on the American people. The failure to honor this declaration brought into question President Bush’s credibility and trust, and ultimately followed him to the 1992 Presidential Election (Jamieson, 1996). However minimal the phrase, the impact of his trustworthiness plagued Bush to the ballot box costing him reelection. The presence of credibility, likability, and charisma in a political candidate are precious characteristics needed in the electoral process.
