Posted on 02/08/2016 10:51:01 AM PST by jimbo123

Impatient with Jeb Bush's attacks on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a segment of the conservative punditocracy wants Bush to get out quickly so as to block both Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) from getting the nomination by virtue of a split among "somewhat conservative" Republicans. Saturday's debate, however, opened up an interesting possibility.

The most likely beneficiary of a Rubio collapse in NH would be neither Bush nor Kasich, but Christie.

What if the Washington Post someday becomes a real newspaper?

What if monkeys fly out of my butt?

What if Pee Wee Herman is the best man to lead the country?

What if Yosemite Sam is the best man to lead the country?

Jeb’s 15 minutes were up years ago.

I’ve seen corpses and I’ve seen corpses, but that is one of the scariest I’ve seen.

What say you? She’s not dead?

Consider this.

They had to put makeup on her to get her to look that..., well..., good?

Jennifer Rubin.

This broad will likely be rubber roomed any minute now.

Being a shill for Bush to such intensity can’t be mentally healthy.

GOP establishment looks at Rubio crashing and burning and Jeb is on life support.

Same woman described Cruz as “surviving” Iowa. She’s not subtle in her favoritism.

I can’t believe how much attention is being paid to a candidate so low in the polls. However, I do think it’s possible he could jump back up at some point. Especially if Trump ends up endorsing him. If Trump were to endorse him, how many Trump supporters would vote for Jeb?
