Jeb Bush hopes to stage a comeback in SC

Forty-five minutes late, Jeb Bush hurried onto the porch of a crowded barbecue restaurant where more than 100 people waited for the Republican presidential hopeful earlier this week.

The former Florida governor - hoping to revive his struggling campaign and become the third Bush elected president - launched into a stump speech before taking questions at Hudson's Smokehouse, a favorite stop for GOP candidates.

"Donald Trump's not going to get the nomination. He's not going to be president," Bush said of the GOP front-runner near the end of the hour, the crowd clapping and cheering in agreement.

Bush's Wednesday visit came as he promised to double his presence in early primary states, building up his ground game in hopes of contacting more voters and winning their votes in contests just weeks away.

"We're all in," Bush told the audience Wednesday, just hours after news broke that his campaign was pulling $3 million in TV ads from Iowa and South Carolina and was shifting campaign staff members from Florida into early nominating states.

Gee. That’s a powerful message when a candidate has to say “Donald Trump.......”.

Real winners don’t carp about the current leaders in a contest. They make their abilities, plans, programs, competence and experience rise to the top.

Jebito is a lightweight. Perhaps he’d better stick to Hispanic audiences where he is more comfortable speaking in his native language.

Put your money on Harold Stassen - he’s got a better chance than Jebbie.

Folks, let hope and pray that Jeb, and Marco and Ben will stay in the race up thru the southern primaries. THey help Trump and probably hurt Cruz. By then, even if they rally around someone else like Romney it will be too late. Cruz and Trump, esp Trump will have the vast majority of delegates.

He hopes to stage a comeback in SC?

So I guess he has already conceded New Hampshire to Trump. Coward.

If he can’t win in New Hampshire he sure as hell is not going to win in South Carolina.

I was gonna post a comment but then I saw the South Carolina poll in the article. The poll says it all:
Donald Trump 33.7 percent

Ted Cruz     19.3 percent

Marco Rubio  12.7 percent

Ben Carson   11.3 percent

Jeb Bush      7.3 percent

“Donald Trump’s not going to get the nomination. He’s not going to be president,” Bush said”

And when I join Hillary as her running mate, we will crush Trump and the Citizenry.

Why doesn’t someone ask Jebbie why he keeps saying Trump is not going to get the nomination? Is he or his family or the Republican Party going to assassinate him? It’s a creepy statement and he keeps making it.

Here's what to do, Jeb:

  1. Tell conservatives you don't want their votes, again.
  2. Inform everyone you will not revoke even one of OTrauma's illegal executive orders.
  3. Promise to fight any attempts at deporting illegal aliens.
  4. Promise to drastically increase Muslim immigration.
  5. Tell America you will campaign vigorously for Mexican-style gun control in America.
  6. Promise to make political correctness into Federal law, with harsh penalties for violations.

I promise you that you will rocket to the top!

Where did you say Jebadio was coming back from? I wasn’t aware he even went on vacation. Coming back from where?

7. Double-down on campaigning in Spanish to as many illegal aliens as possible.

Give it up Yeb!

We do not want you to turn the USA into North Mexico

Abandoning the rule of law and surrendering the country is not “conservative”

Jeb’s campaign didn’t have enough cash to spring for a rib or two, either.
