Jeb Bush's brother, the former president, his sister-in-law, the former first lady, his mother, his sister, another brother, and of course his wife and children have come to South Carolina, where George W. Bush's political fortunes were made, in hopes of vaulting Jeb back into the Republican presidential race. But with poll after poll showing Bush hovering around 10 percent - fighting with John Kasich for fourth place — that looks less and less likely every hour.
So it wasn't surprising that there was a big media turnout at Bush's townhall here in Columbia Thursday. Yes, there's plenty of press to go around now; South Carolina is teeming with reporters. But there is also a Jeb death watch underway. That's especially true after Bush held a downer of a townhall on Wednesday in Summerville in which some audience members bemoaned the condition of his campaign and wanted to know why he can't raise his game against Donald Trump.

Well, after he retreats back to wherever he crawled out from, look for him to get back to the Twinkie diet and put that 40 pounds right back where it belongs.
I really don’t share the visceral hatred of Bush so common on this forum. That said he is not my cup of tea and it is pretty clear that the end is nigh. Too many pols don’t know when or how to make a graceful exit.
It’s time Gov Bush. After the polls close, call a press conference, thank your supporters and suspend your campaign. Then go home and spend some time with your family and relax a little. Let the others carry on the fight.
“I really don’t share the visceral hatred of Bush so common on this forum.”
I don’t post these stories out of any hatred of Bush, but in celebration that the Establishment’s insidious and oligarchical plans were thwarted!
Their golden boy has been swatted away like a gnat. And that’s a good thing.
Ebb with Jeb!
I like it.
He won’t completely disappear.
Expect a periodic column in the New York Times editorial page chiding conservatives for not reaching across the aisle to pass some large government program for education, immigration, or trade.
I hope that wasn’t the farewell to one of your loved ones.
"He's pinin' for the fjords!"
Let the others carry on the fight.

Don’t you worry about that, Marco Rubio and John Kasich are still carrying on the fight to keep the Cheap Labor Express running.

I thought i saw buzzards flying over the place.

Thank you! Excellent post. Expressed my sentiments precisely. Wish there were many more, in kind responses besides the nasty, degrading, belittling angst that’s thrown around this forum.
Jeb be on life support. Family gathering for his departure.
I'll always have the guacamole bowl to remember it by...(sobbing)...
