That’s a low energy speech.

1) the R field would be heavily split
2) Hillary had no opposition
3) Dems cross over in R primaries to install the softest target for November (Op Chaos Dem-style)

It could have worked, but only in a very unique set of circumstances

**************************************************************

The plan worked in 2008 and 2012 (sans Hillary), that’s how we got McRomney.

We have open primaries here in Illinois, I hate it.

There was an audience? How much did he pay them to be there?

Even Jeb’s donors are sick of him and his big wasteful spending.

You had a choice

$20 Starbux coupons, or a copy of his book “Reply All”

It looked like the coupons were winning 100:1

I think he’s got a shot at the most $$ spent per primary vote in election history.

"The third problem is Jeb himself ... with or without the exclamation point."

I think that's the #1 problem. Trump and Sanders pale in comparison.

Whoever coined the term “doofus” had to be thinking of Jeb.

I believe he said it twice. First time it seemed like he whispered it, then counted to 3 to himself and tried to yell it. It was awkward.

Hey, Jeb!

Owning a cerebellum does not necessarily make you “cerebral.”

No, the thing that messed it up was simply the fact that he’s a Bush. He’s not a bad guy and was a good governor of Florida, and is not the raving liberal that people here make him out to be. But there’s no way he should be president, and I don’t think he has a chance of winning.

The problem is that he’s simply part of the Bush family and way of doing things, meaning ineffectual, timid, and sunk in the old attitudes and old ways (which never worked anyway). I would bet that if he somehow got to be president, you’d see a huge squadron of geriatric advisers behind him, because the Bushes are very loyal to their losers. Colin Powell, anybody?

Oddly enough, even though he’s not that old, he projects old and tired, although not old and tired and crazy, like Hillary and Bernie. So I guess the choice would be whether you like your “old and tired” with or without the “crazy.”

Fortunately, I don’t think he has a chance.

"What can I tell ya?"

Nothing that anyone wants to hear.

In that picture, looks like several have already dozed off.
