What's ruining Jeb Bush's campaign is Jeb!...

There are many, many reasons to abhor Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, but there’s at least one reason to appreciate it, for now: his constant and merciless trolling of Jeb Bush that is currently tanking Bush’s shot at the presidency. In some sense, Trump is doing democracy a service by helping ensure we will not have to suffer the embarrassment of having a third Bush family member as president within two decades.
Trump’s penchant for insulting anyone in his path is now well-known (and often deplorable and sexist), though most candidates usually have to deliberately poke the bear for Trump to engage in his usual charade. But just about every day, Trump will go after Jeb unprompted – whether on Twitter or at campaign events or in interviews with journalists – with a voracity virtually never seen in primary politics. Oftentimes it’s substantive and other times it’s not, but it’s almost always delightful to watch.
Trump will attack Jeb for his support for the Iraq War, but if Bush lightly criticizes George W Bush, Trump questions why he would throw his brother under the bus. Trump attacks Jeb for his record in Florida, rips him for his $1.3m “no show job” at Lehman Brothers after he left the governorship. He calls Jeb out for being “100% CONTROLLED” by his wealthy donors, and when a few donors recently left Jeb’s campaign, Trump made fun of him for that too.
But it’s repetition of his now infamous and nebulous phrase – that Bush is a “low-energy guy” who could not handle the rigors of the presidency – that has become a daily occurrence and clearly gotten under Bush’s skin. Trump is constantly finding new ways to say it or sneaking it into statements, even those that aren’t targeted at Bush himself.

Because WE HAVE HAD IT!!!
I don’t count out every family member of the Bush Clan. One of these days, we may have to seriously consider Jeb!s son, George P. Bush. I will evaluate each person as they step forward. Meanwhile, I vote no to Jeb!
What's ruining Jeb Bush's campaign is Jeb!...
Darn right we’ve had it!
Watch for a planned effort by many remaining candidates to take
Trump out.
They will be trying to do the “dirty work” on behalf of the Yeb.
Well at least Trevor gets it, if some around here don’t.

I liked the Instagram commercial: succinct and funny as hell.
Jeb really puts his own supporters to sleep.
I don't know how this works, but I wonder if Jeb is experiencing the same thing.
Why pump the money out for a loser.
¡Yeb! is The Cheap Labor Express candidate of choice.
They have at least 10 more if you really won’t vote for another Bush.
Rubberio, Grahamnesty, Huckster, NJFatBoy, Fiorina, Pataki, Kasich, Gilmore, Paul, Carson
“...They will be trying to do the “dirty work” on behalf of the Yeb.”
Why all the hand-wringing and teeth gnashing over Jeb Bush? He hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of being nominated let alone winning. His name is Bush, which is an instant disqualifier. You will keep hearing the same old song, “he stole the 2000 election for his brother”. Millenials love that one. Another popular song is that Jeb Bush killed Terry Schiavo. Joy Behar is back on The View and she will make sure Jeb Bush is tarred and feathered.
So many important things to criticize Jeb about.
Which is why find the "sleepy Jeb" commercial...sleep inducing.
Because we have seen what the GOPe is capable of.
Does Chris McDaniel and Mississippi ring a bell?
He looks like the bookkeeper
for a funeral parlor.
BUMP!
AMEN!!!!!
Bush is pathetic.
Trump is a thousand times better than Jebito!
No Brainer on that one.
