Of Course Jeb Bush’s Campaign Is Collapsing
The Daily Caller ^ | October 27, 2015 | Christopher Bedford, Senior Editor

On Saturday, Jeb Bush complained that he had “a lot of really cool things” to do other than run for president. He didn’t want to “sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them.” Gone, it seems, was the “joy in my heart” he had planned to campaign on.

The next day, he traveled to Texas to assure donors that he was doing just fine. CNN reports that the previous day’s crowd had been raucous and receptive, but these old family donors have good reason to be worried. Despite their amassing the largest war chest in the primary, the campaign has about as much money on hand as Sen. Marco Rubio, his former Sunshine State protege who is currently polling ahead in both their home state and nationally. Despite $15 million in advertising by his super PAC in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, Mr. Bush is third in New Hampshire, fifth in Iowa, and sixth in South Carolina. And despite raising a massive sum of money for a primary campaign, staffers were informed on Friday of across-the-board cuts to headquarters personnel, to pay checks and, despite best efforts, to morale.

But it should surprise no one — no one — that Mr. Bush and his massive campaign are flailing.

Twelve years of Bush Family Republican rule had produced first the purge of the Reaganites and the rise of the Clintons, then housing bubbles, bailouts, entitlements, education meddling, the tea party insurgency, and three wars — only one of which America convincingly won....

Black diamonds. Anyone else getting black diamonds scattered throughout the text on FreeRepublic? I'm seeing them on numerous articles. I think this symbol appears when there is bad coding on the site. Has Freerepublic been hacked?

Yes, I’m getting them too, but only on the front page, when I click on a link they are gone.

They appear to be replacing symbols like quotation marks “ and apostrophes ‘.

¡Yeb!’s campaign is collapsing because he had no support among voters. The Ministry of Propaganda has tried to create the illusion that he was the presumptive front-runner when the truth was he had no voters behind him, only money-men.

The citizens do not share The Joyful Tortoise’s vison of the USA becoming North Mexico.

What do Jeb’s chances and the treasure in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World have in common?

Both buried under a Big W....

Yes, but I am worried we might get that evil wench. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter, plus all the fraud that will happen.

I am becoming convinced that many GOPe will vote for the Hildebeast too, because they hate conservatives more than her. That is another thing to consider.

Again we agree. They are rotten to the core. Special interests come before their Country.

Yeah, I get them at work when I copy text from one program to another, then if I go in and type over the symbol (with the same symbol) they go away.

They seem to be gone from here now.
