I think I am going to start a series of Diaries. They will be mostly short but valuable to Democrats whether they are politicians , spokes people or pundits -
Democratic Framing Guide Episode 1 - Bush Trauma
The 2016 Jeb Bush Trail Balloon has officially been dropped in the Washington Post Influential Republicans working to draft Jeb Bush into 2016 presidential race
In the article they bring up the obvious "Bush Fatigue"
“The ‘Bush fatigue’ question is always there,” said former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour (R). “If his name was Jeb Brown instead of Jeb Bush, he’d be the front-runner.”
Trust me this is Republicans laying the ground work for Jeb because if Americans have "Bush Fatigue" then it is obvious the MSM pundits will naturally assume that Americans will also have "Clinton Fatigue".
In the fair and balance reporting of the pundit class the discussion will come down to Bush Fatigue VS Clinton Fatigue. You know it is coming.
The lesson in the Democratic Framing Guide is that Americans do not have Bush Fatigue
They have Bush Trauma.
Fatigue in this case will mean " the temporary inability to respond to a situation or perform a function, because of overexposure or overactivity"
The Key that Republicans are betting that most americans will agree that the Clintons and the Bushes have been in public service a long time so there are various degrees of Fatigue on the part of American public with BOTH families.
Trauma in this case will mean "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience."
Trauma is the only word that can accurately describe the Bush Presidential years and will effectively kill any "fatigue comparisons"
Democrats do not adopted the phrase "Bush Fatigue" please use the term "Bush Trauma"
