This weekend illustrates why Trump (or somebody like him) could be president.
The second rule of presidential politics is never tell voters you’ve got something better to do.
Jeb Bush on Saturday: “I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them.”
The third rule of presidential politics is never tell voters to vote for somebody else.
Jeb Bush: “That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”
The fourth rule of presidential politics is politics today sucks. Deal with it.
Jeb Bush: “If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done, I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people literally are in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation.”
The scion of a very political family broke all the rules Saturday, including the one about never surrendering to a bully. A bully smells blood.
“Bush has no money,” Donald Trump, the billionaire celebrity TV star and GOP presidential front-runner, said Sunday. “He’s meeting today with mommy and daddy, and they’re working on his campaign.”
“He’s a guy wants to run our country and he can’t even run his own campaign,” Trump told a rally in Bush’s home state of Florida. “Think of it!”

Jeb Bush figured he didn’t need conservatives to win, and was gonna win without them.
Jeb figured wrong.
Back to Skull and Bones with Jeb.
Something about “don’t count your chickens before they hatch” comes to mind, and that can go either way in this case. Jeb was counting his chickens, and in a sense, so are we (that Jeb is out).
Jeb also figured that campaigning in Spanish to primary voters in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Iowa would be a smart thing to do. Wrong!
Jeb was so openly contemptuous & dismissive of conservatives nothing less than a humiliating smackdown would have done. And thats exactly what he’s getting.
There is already talk of changing the convention rules.
I think Jeb is toast, but remember the party is controlled by the elite donors, not the voters. Voters are a product, not a customer.
Interesting that ¡Jeb’s devastingly stupid and petulant gaffes came just before the Familia gathering. Just like a six year old knowing he’s going to get punished, “ Oh yeah? Well....”
Going to be a real “warm” reunion for ¡Jeb’s hindquarters with threats to curtail his allowance.
Bad puppy, bad puppy!
LOL!
I will never be able to erase that short video of Jebbie standing on his tippy-toes trying to make himself look taller from my brain…………..one of the most pitifully funny things I’ve ever seen a presidential candidate do..
I don't want this man anywhere around the White House..you people in Fla want him in your state, fine, but he needs to stay away from Washington D.C. he is a disgrace as a man; the most rotten of human; and total stupidity for someone that wants to lead this county, he has to have help getting out of the bathroom....
We said ‘no more bushes’ and that is what we meant...take your guac bowls, beans and tacos and go home, we don't want you in our government!!!
Senor Jeb can always go back to sneaking in jewelry
through US customs ... with his Mexican wife.
It's how they all must feel and must be the way they all speak and or laugh at us for being so conservatively gullible in private, or "we have the Republican vote no matter what, and those idiots really don't know who we are" My point: after years of hearing the family speak of conservatives behind our backs, the Family IDIOT spurts it out.
As a child, I often heard bits and pieces of a family story, yet never understanding what it was about. I would tell my children those pieces and bits as I remembered. The old game of "gossip" comes to mind, by the time it gets to the last player the tale makes no sense.
But, I'm glad he's created some bad optics for himself. I think he's a snake, and would not vote for him.
Well, bye................
Voters are very forgiving and will overlook a candidate's shortcomings and faux pas.....if his message is appealng.
However, voters cannot forgive a candidate who is oblivious to the impact his words have on the body politic.
Jeb's infamous "act of love" WRT illegal aliens is the most unfortunate self-serving phrase ever uttered by a candidate.

Jeb Bush, whose presidential campaign has been struggling, is cutting pay across the board for his campaign staff, taking some senior staff off the payroll completely and canceling some of his fundraisers, Bloomberg reported Friday. These cuts come as part of a major course correction in response to worrying donors and falling polls in recent days. Via: IBTimes.com 
Jeb....loser..Marco Rubio “hates the senate” wont seek another term....loser
His level of complete delusion is shocking to me.
I have never seen someone so completely out of touch with reality as this guy and he just keeps doubling down like some impudent, spoiled, whiney ass brat.
Are there high ranking Mexicans funding this guy and giving him advice? Worked for the muslims in the past.
The re-launches worked for the “beast”, he’s gonna try it?
