Jeb is going to be another chapter in the book of how Mike Murphy and his political mercenaries blow a $100 million to turn a front runner into a disastrous losing campaign. But hey, as long as they got paid seven figures while they worked there, who cares? That’s all that matters to the GOP professional campaign managers.

I, if I were advising Jeb, would have him cut a Stuart Smalley like ad -

" I'm Jeb! I'm smart, I had money, I like Mexicans and gosh darn it people lie me!"

People are looking for a warrior to take this country back, to pull it back from the brink, to put it on course for once and for all.

He is not a warrior. That isn’t him. He wants to be the happy warrior but he is no warrior, he doesn’t even know what the war is about. For him, like Romney before him, its about the fact that its his turn, its the next thing to add to his resume.

He is not the guy who is going to wade into the fight swinging his battle-ax. He’s the guy who gave Hillary a medal only just recently. That is emblematic of clueless.

The Joyful Tortoise is morphing into a pissy pachyderm.
He’s upset that we don’t share his vision of our future as North Mexico

Jed is from the old well connected insiders party, when they and their MSM TV co-conspirators once ruled everything while those incapable of critical thought were spoon fed a steady diet of lies.

Now they’re now all blaming the biggest town hall meeting in history, the “Internet invaders”.

Yes, we in the establishment get to say all kinds of mean things about our adversaries whenever we're out to capture the top spot.

We're assured they won't hit back 'cause we see to it the big money guys won't give them the money to do that!

Its my turn, everyone told me it is but these pesky serfs just won't shut up and go back home.

We'll take care of their lives, we'll make laws to 'help out' but why don't they understand Washington politics, is just too complicated for them.

You know, it's kinda like making sausage............barf!

Jeb shows his true colors as a mama's boy little brat, certainly not competent to be POTUS. His daddy (read my lips) ran from victory after Powell told him we were killing too many Iraqis. His brother let RATS dump all over him while never fighting back, never vetoed a bill, allowing the deficit to go into the stratosphere.These two dumbos brought about the election of Clinton and Obama. We've had enough of the RINO Bushs.

“crappily (not a word, but you get my point)”

You added a legitimate suffex to “crap”. I think it might be a word acceptable to the dictionary folks.

The rest of the stage got Trumped. What’s left? Is it possible the well connected R insiders will begin to covertly support/fund Hillary?

” Is it possible the well connected R insiders will begin to covertly support/fund Hillary?”

I am certain of this.

“Elect Trump if you want that.”

The first good advice I have heard pass Bush’s lips.

All Jeb! has to do to turn things around is add another exclamation point: Jeb!! Why do I have to think of everything?

Now you've gone and done it. I was a hardcore Cruz supporter, but after seeing that second exclamation point, I might have to rethink my stance and support Jeb!!

Indeed, if Jeb was a warrior and a leader, he would have saved Terri Schiavo’s life. Jeb’s governing style is like Pontius Pilate’s.

At one time I thought it was a given that Jeb would one day be president, and a fine one at that.

On the day that Terri Schiavo died, though, I thought that grace left him, and I said that he will never be president.

He believes he did all he could; I always thought he could at the very least have carried a cup of water past the deputies to her, or gone and stood with her parents praying outside even if he thought he could do nothing legally.

Pontius Pilate is a good description.
