Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush huddled in secret with a handful of reporters as he’s slipping in the polls ahead of the next debate here on Wednesday evening, Breitbart News has learned. Bush met in private for an off-the-record meeting on Tuesday with RealClearPolitics’ Rebecca Berg, the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, Fox News’ John Roberts and CNN’s S.E. Cupp. A Republican political insider told Breitbart News:
Two reporters complained to me today that their editors and producers forced them to attend an off the record pre-debate meeting with Jeb Bush, who is in single digits in all national and state polls. I was also told that the meeting was so low energy and boring that one reporter described it as a ‘snooze siesta.’ Jeb wavered for five days on whether to hold the gathering but then decided that it would be a mistake not to try and spin tomorrow’s loss which will be both in form and substance. The good news is that Jeb spoke to an audience which doubled his last campaign event.
Bush spokesman Tim Miller didn’t immediately return a request for comment, nor did the other attendees or representatives for them. Bush has virtually collapsed in recent polls as Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has taken an even more commanding lead while Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are all ahead of Bush in recent polling. Bush’s drop in polling has coincided with his decision to use the foreign language of Spanish on the campaign trail rather than speaking English—something Trump has criticized Bush for. Bush using Spanish rather than English puts him on the wrong side—and Trump on the right side—of an issue that polls extraordinarily well among all Americans, Republican, Democrat, and independent.

Oh boy. Jeb is desperate.
Coordinating Trump attack messaging, and promising to spend X with each network that complies.
Welcome to modern American “Politics”.
Um....that’s “desesperado”..... :0)
Jebi! should do what his daddy should’ve done—pull out!
Managing expectations so that if he is detected breathing, they can run banner headlines that he did far better than expected in the debate, and that he’s turned his campaign around.
The media has their talking points for tomorrow.
I truly believe Barbara Bush did not want Little Jebbie to run because she knew he was not up to the task, and she didn’t want to see him hurt on national stage.
I know I think often of my 3 daughters and their capabilities, and there are certain things I know they can and cannot do.
Only makes Trump stronger.
“How can you guys kick Trump in the nuts, but make it look like a clean shot?” Yeb
Note the tagline...(stolen?
Apparently, Jeb! wants to explain tonight’s poor performance in advance.
Collusion again. Fat little rich boy needs to go back to his wife’s home country, he sucks.
Well isn’t that special and pathetic. :-)
WARNING: Remember not to drive or operate heavy machinery while taking prescription strength 'Jeb!'. Adverse reactions have occurred while taking 'Jeb!'. Be sure to consult your doctor.
All were probably annoyed since they might end up a few minutes late to their mandatory Hillary love-in secret meeting scheduled later that afternoon. With MUCG better cocktails.
CNN is spending the day trashing Trump, which is their “preview” of the debate tonight. I pray that God gives Trump the right words to say.
“Coordinating Trump attack messaging, and promising to spend X with each network that complies.”
Where “X” approaches zero as donors pull out of his sorry-a$$ed campaign.
