Only yesterday Jeb Bush was the Republican flavor of the week, the favorite of the Republican establishment, those wonderful folks who yearn for a nice man who oozes political propriety and respectability.

The plaid pants crowd only care about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running. If Jebster can’t stumble across the finish line, they’ll take Rubio or Walker.

How Sweet! Since my son was a Marine, that’s special!
How adorable! I wish we had gotten Jethro and Gunny when they were puppies, but they were a year old when they came to us. We love our buddies!
