Of Course Jeb Bush’s Campaign Is Collapsing
The Daily Caller ^ | October 27, 2015 | Christopher Bedford, Senior Editor

On Saturday, Jeb Bush complained that he had “a lot of really cool things” to do other than run for president. He didn’t want to “sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them.” Gone, it seems, was the “joy in my heart” he had planned to campaign on.

The next day, he traveled to Texas to assure donors that he was doing just fine. CNN reports that the previous day’s crowd had been raucous and receptive, but these old family donors have good reason to be worried. Despite their amassing the largest war chest in the primary, the campaign has about as much money on hand as Sen. Marco Rubio, his former Sunshine State protege who is currently polling ahead in both their home state and nationally. Despite $15 million in advertising by his super PAC in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, Mr. Bush is third in New Hampshire, fifth in Iowa, and sixth in South Carolina. And despite raising a massive sum of money for a primary campaign, staffers were informed on Friday of across-the-board cuts to headquarters personnel, to pay checks and, despite best efforts, to morale.

But it should surprise no one — no one — that Mr. Bush and his massive campaign are flailing.

Twelve years of Bush Family Republican rule had produced first the purge of the Reaganites and the rise of the Clintons, then housing bubbles, bailouts, entitlements, education meddling, the tea party insurgency, and three wars — only one of which America convincingly won....

Again we agree. They are rotten to the core. Special interests come before their Country.

So, it is entirely possible that the Hildebeast will be the next POTUS. After all, is she any more of a lawbreaker than Bill and Nobama? I don't know the answer to that question, but people knew about those two clowns, and they were still elected twice, so the people have priors, for being stupid.

If Obama got elected twice, Hitlery can, too.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Things are moving very fast. POS Obama is going full blast now. He has a lot of damage to do before he leaves.....>if< he leaves.

You think it’s possible he stays? I didn’t, but now I do.

Jebbie pretty much failed tonight at the debate. He’s toast.

My opinion is, he goes. I don't think he likes the job much, and he will make millions on the speaking tour, just like slick Willie does. I will, however, believe he is going, when I see him walk out the door.

It’s beyond my understanding as to why he ever thought he had a chance.
