Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R) pledged in South Carolina Thursday evening that he will earn victory in the South’s first presidential primary next year.

“I’m going to win South Carolina, take it to the bank,” Bush told reporters, according to The Charleston Post and Courier. His boast came before a speech addressing the East Cooper Republican Women’s group in Mount Pleasant.

Bush is making the Palmetto State a key focus of his 2016 Oval Office bid as he struggles for traction in the first voting states. He ranks sixth out of 15 candidates in Iowa with 5.3 percent and fifth in New Hampshire with 7.4 percent voter support, per the most recent RealClearPolitics mean of surveys.

[Mr. K]

did people giggle?

“See you at the signing”

[SaveFerris]

Already bought and paid for with part of that $100 million dollars?

[mkjessup]

Sounds like !YEB is STILL smoking dope as he admitted to doing 40 years ago.

[VanDeKoik]

Mr. 1% (in the polls) speaks!

Perhaps he needs to take a look at the soon to be former Speaker of the House, and get a clue that he needs to take a walk too.

[Flintlock]

After all, with all the Democrats voting for him, how can he lose?

[trisham]

What a fool.

[Leaning Right]

“I’m going to win South Carolina, take it to the bank”

Perhaps Bush is referring to the board game Risk.

What’s Terri Schaivo’s take on this, Yeb?

Oh, that’s RIGHT! You allowed her to DIE a horrific death of starvation and dehydration when you were Governor of Florida!

*SPIT*

If Lindsey Graham can get re-elected senator from SC, Jeb can win its primary. I think they must just pay people there for their votes.

[skeeter]

Bush has already lost the aura of inevitability. He’s just like the rest of the flavor of the week also-rans now.

[TheStickman]

Right after Nancy smashed Trump’s head in, Jebby.

The GOPe spews delusion...

[toddausauras]

READ MY LIPS.

[Biggirl]

Oh sure, keep on dreaming!

[Eccl 10:2]

“did people giggle?”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

No, they were all asleep.

[tflabo]

Well then lets open up accounts in honor of Yeb at the Lehman Bros Bank.

As the last winner of the GOP primary in South Carolina ... what do you think about this, Newt?

Sounds like !YEB is STILL smoking dope as he admitted to doing 40 years ago.

Or he knows something we don't know. SC is an open primary, isn't it? Remember Mississippi.

This is scary stuff when Republicans don't hesitate to use Democrats to elect the REPUBLICAN nominee. Maybe we got their attention too late. ;-(
