Jeb Bush Orders Across-the-Board Pay Cuts for Struggling Campaign

[Peace&Freedom]

Correction:

While I’ve seen variations in dates categorizing Baby Boomers, Gen Y, Gen X, and Traditionalists, the following chart will give you a good idea of what people are talking about:

Traditionalists: Born before 1946
Boomers: 1946 – 1964
Generation X (Gen X): 1965 – 1980
Millennials or Generation Y (Gen Y): 1981 – 2000

I thought the generations schema followed in even 17 year intervals, hence the breakdown I gave. And millenials could be argued to mean those born since the new millenium started or 2000 onward, as a matter of their being literally of this millenia.

I've seen a number of divergent dates set up for generation cut-offs, and even some that break the various generations into smaller sub-categories based on whether one is born earlier or later in the range provided. There's about a 2-3 year gray area as far as the transition from Baby Boomers to Generation X, but all of them tend to include 1980 (the year of my birth) as either the cut-off or close to he cut-off for when Gen X becomes Gen Y. This probably explains why in terms of my taste in music, art and even cultural figures that I admired, I usually ended up either looking back to the early 90s and 80s (I technically came of age in the mid 1990s), or was otherwise fixed on things at the present that were a throwback to said time period, whereas my sister who was only born a couple years later did not gravitate towards those things.

On-topic:

I'm a bit skeptical of Bush dropping out of the race, but I don't think he has been guaranteed the nomination by the party. He's been doing absolutely terrible in both the debates and all of his campaign appearances and while I'm not predicting he will drop out before Iowa, if he does it won't surprise me. The person who will benefit most from him dropping out will be Rubio, so there is probably some benefit in him staying in until after Iowa as the optics of him splitting the establishment vote will give Paul a clearer path to a potential victory there if things turn around, which I think they will.

I think Rubio has always been the guy the party higher-ups want. After Mitt lost, Rubio was the first one they trotted out there on national TV to give the SOTU response, which he promptly fucked up. Nonetheless, he kept a relatively low profile, even today. He is another one of those candidates who benefit from a large field. The deal with Jeb is that they probably can't get away with running another Bush. I think the party likes him for the people he would bring into his administration (same people as the previous Bushes), but the electorate is showing no signs that they will accept it. Continuing to try and shove him down peoples' throats is going against everything their 2012 "postmortem" said the party needs to change to win a general election.

looks like he is pulling out

Papa Bush should have pulled out and saved the world this travesty.
