Giving up already? Jeb Bush has thrown in the towel in Iowa and will leave the state BEFORE Monday night's caucuses get underway (Watch out, New Hampshire!)

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush is planning to ditch the frozen cornfields of Iowa for - hopefully - sunnier skies in New Hampshire even before Iowans caucus next Monday.

The former Florida governor has decided his chances of winning the Iowa caucuses on Monday are minimal, and that his presence in New Hampshire is more necessary for his flagging campaign, according to a new report in Politico.

Bush's campaign released a schedule on Thursday that showed he will be spending Monday night at a town hall event - in Manchester, N.H.

“Giving up already? Jeb Bush has thrown in the towel in Iowa and will leave the state BEFORE Monday night’s caucuses get underway (Watch out, New Hampshire!)”

Fox News rigs a debate for Jeb and he still pulls out of Iowa. Just goes to show how chicken$hit RINO’s are when faced with adversity and confirms why our Congress kowtows to Obama.

Likely Bush is hoping to stay afloat until SC, where he, like McCain, might get a victory and change the race. After all, he does have Gramnesty and Haley pulling strings and calling in markers.

Bush gave his lineage: Daddy was the best president ever and Bro was president and everyone likes Mommie, so I should get elected so I can be a president, too.

At this point I have no clue what is going to happen.

I really do pray that Ted Cruz gets the nomination.

With that said. The last two elections we got McCain and Romney, and Obama was elected and reelected. With that history I don’t have alot of hope in the American people to pick a good candidate any more. With the way Fox news/GOP is stacking the deck in Rubio’s favor I could unfortunately see him or another one of the RINO’s as the nominee.

Wouldn’t it be a sad thing, if because of Trump attacking Cruz we end up with Bush or Kasich. If the birther attacks hadn’t happened what would have been the net result.

I firmly believe Ted Cruz is the man to turn this country around in as quick a time as possible.

You'll get a kick out of this.

I think Jeb has the best qualities to be the president, he’s just not doing the worlds best job of getting there, one banker told Politico.


This banker probably got his job by family connections.

Many are....

"""2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."""".......

That is Second Chronicles for the Biblically challenged.

When you look at the problems this country is facing, Jeb is not the answer. Period.

Good summary. This nation is going to face a storm regardless of who is elected in November. The question is who do we want at the helm when the waves crash over the bow. If we were on an even keel and sailing through calm seas, the nation could tolerate a Jeb presidency so long as he maintained a steady course and didn't fidget with the wheel. However, we are already in choppy seas and a storm is on the horizon...

Think of it this way. If Trump hadn’t gotten out there last summer and did everything it took to rattle the cage, Jeb would’ve had it sewn up before all but a few political nerds were paying attention. He had already locked up the deep-pocket donors and the insider vote.

They can pull all the strings and markers they want. He has a close to zero shot of winning here.

So...

What I really want to know is when he leaves the race? Get back to me then. ;-)

His time has passed

I think he might have been better than this brother if he had run in 2000

100 Million Dollar and he is at 4%. I am not sure the GOP wants George W. Bush on the trail.

The fact that Senor Yeb has not dropped out worries me a bit. I can't think the money men would throw good money after bad. If he doesn't drop out soon I am going to start thinking that the money men are indeed hoping for a convention with no clear winner on the first ballot so that they can retire to a smoke-filled room and somehow nominate Senor Yeb.

I knew the JEB push was coming when I read yesterday that Hillary publicly said that Jeb was the one Republican contender she respects. In other words, the UNIPARTY and the party establishments and globalists are coming out in the open (they never hid it much) as to whom they view as the “safe” candidates (Hillary and JEB) who will preserve, protect and defend THEIR interests at the expense of OURS and the nation’s and who really don’t differ much at all from each other.

He’s not just a bad candidate.

He is tone deaf to the mood of the country.

1. Pro Illegal.
2. Wants to fight a way in Syria with Russia.
3. Pro Free Trade agreements.

Good luck with those positions.

That's still what shocks me. Jeb had the nomination all but secured before Trump appeared. Even Cruz has benefited - no way would be be in second place now if Bush were leading.

Between 1960 and 2008 (pre-McCain), there was a Nixon, Dole, or Bush on every Republican Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket except one.

I'm with you.
