Jeb Bush, who unsuccessfully ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, told CNBC on Thursday he feels like a "fish out of water" in the current state of divisiveness in America.

The butt hurt is strong with this one.
That passage from Revelations can be taken in very different ways.
Attacking the guy that beat your a—, lacks class ole’ Jeb. You just attacked someone because you’re weak and trying to look strong. So hmmmm. Loser and hypocrit.
the one thing Trump did was WIN.....
Feeling’s mutual, Jebra.
Yes, indeed.
Trump is in process of exposing hundreds of phony-ponies; I think yebbie was one of the first — some distinction.
I never understood these words.
Does Jesus mean you’re screwed anyway if you’re consistently evil but at least you didn’t waffle or did he mean there’s more of a chance for that person than for a luke warm person to get to Heaven, or at least Purgatory?
Brain damage. Jebby did too many drugs at Andover.
Like say exactly what you would do in office, then get it done? I believe him.
He’s quite the useful idiot that Jib.”
My man Yeb! had 3 delegates at the convention to Trump’s mere 1725. It was a tie, man. It was a tossup.
el es un payaso!
