Struggling Jeb Bush Campaign Insists Everything Is Awesome

In The Young Turks on YouTube by Hlarson0 Comments

 

Jeb Bush is in a world of hurt. His campaign has had to layoff staff and drastically reduce spending. When asked about this, he explained that he’s a fighter on the verge of a huge comeback. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“This election season has not been easy on Jeb Bush, and the Internet isn’t making it any easier. To kick off a campaign tour this week, the Bush campaign debuted its new campaign slogan, “Jeb Can Fix It,” and well, it seems Jeb now has one more thing to fix.

The good news for Bush’s social media team is that the hashtag quickly began trending on Twitter. The bad news is it was mostly because of Tweets like this:

“Jeb can fix it just like he “fixed” his brother’s vote count in Florida.”

This slogan-jacking shows just how difficult it has become for political campaigns to control their own message in the digital age. It’s no longer just up to the campaigns to steer the conversation and their opponents to counter it. Now we can all play a role in spinning the new narrative, which dramatically changes the power structure in campaigns.”*
