Please, please, Jeb! Waste as much money in Iowa as possible!

Not even Iowa RINOs like him, and Jeb’s original plan was to avoid Iowa completely, not bothering to even visit with the state’s RINOs for a year or more before he realized his campaign was failing.

Watch out for sh-t-eating dogs.

America has had enough of Clintons, Bushes and especially the worst of the litter: the Obamas. They were truly intent upon completing the destruction of America.

We truly need an Obama/Cruz team!

The Bush name, he is a disgrace to it.

Dumbest thing he did was go after Trump. He was over 30 points behind Trump he should have been going after Rubio, Kasich, Christie and try to get them out of his way first.

So we all are laughing at the Picture of Jeb picking his nose. That is Donald’s way of belittling those who go after him. Also, Jeb is very low energy and boring.

None of the Bush’s are good public speakers.

Trump gave Jeb some good advice at a speech in Iowa. Go home save the money you haven’t spent, do something nice with it.

We all know Jeb will be out of this campaign by Florida where he will finish either 3rd or 4th.

Could be that Florida will be Trump, Rubio, Cruz and Bush.
A fourth place in the home state of Gov. Bush would be humiliating.

I think Trump clinches the nomination in Florida, its a winner take all state.

A "dingleberry" is a small clot of dung, as clinging to the hindquarters of an animal, particularly if frozen so that it must be cut out, say, before `expressing' (for example) a terrier's anal glands in a warm bath. grammar nazi photo: grammar nazi grammar.jpg Jeb is a gold miner seeking nuggets for his snot vault with the monogrammed initials: JEB. Neil Young wrote a song about it. Hup hup hup! Herr Grammar Nazi

Let’s see. Add together the numbers for Jeb, Cristie, Kasich, Pataki, Graham and what do you have?

GOPe consultants see money and plan the campaign to benefit themselves. Ultimately, McCain and Romney lost because their campaign consultants did what was best for themselves, not what was best for their candidate. Of course, that was also true of Ron Paul and many other campaign consultants.

In the case of Jeb, there is no way all those consultants could be so blind to the majority of people who say “No more Bush”. But they saw the money.

And the #1 reason they hate Trump and Cruz is that those are the candidates who don’t hire consultants who lack an interest in their candidate’s success or failure.

A sense of entitlement has not worked well for Jeb, and it has left him somewhat bewildered. Why was it so easy for Dubya, and so hard for him?

The answer is in the times. While Jeb may have been a somewhat better choice in 2000 than Dubya, he was judged at the time to not be “seasoned” enough, as he was still in his first term as governor. So the baton was passed to Dubya by default.

By 2008, it was still too close on Dubya’s term and a great deal of tarnish on the name, so the decision was made to defer until “the next opportunity” came along. But that opportunity was blown up for good with the almost complete unraveling of all the benefits that Dubya had conferred upon the nation while in office, and something irretrievable had slipped away.

In 1980, father George H.W. Bush had spoken of “the big Mo”, the momentum that propelled him into the Vice Presidency, under Reagan, and helped him to succeed Reagan in office, supposedly as the “third term” of Reagan.

Only it was not at all a continuation of Reagan, but a new direction harking back to the days of Teddy Roosevelt. In retrospect, selection of George H.W. Bush may have been not the best choice of 1988.

At least for the Republicans.

“Woo Senator Lindsey Graham”

Yeah, picking up Grahamnesty’s 0.02% should be a game changer.

Stick a fork in him; Jebbie’s done.

which all = still 3 percent.

I cherish the day when there s no longer reason to post threads with his name in them.

100 million. cutting edge fMRIs to detect precise brain damage areas for our 200k head injured soldiers

to push the envelope on adult stem cell treatment

instead wasted on a dead in the water candidate.
