The Self-Immolation of Jeb Bush;A campaign that is the political version of the walking dead.

Marco Rubio is another Obama. And oh, by the way, he should resign his Senate seat because he’s running for president.

Remember back there in September when there were gasps from Establishment GOP types and some in the media because Donald Trump said this?

Donald Trump: I have to tell you one story, do you mind? So Bush is the mentor of Rubio and everybody said, “This is politics at its lowest and worst.” I can’t stand these politicians. Right? So Bush is the mentor and he goes out and he says, “Yes,” and he pushed and everybody said, Rubio will never run because it would be disrespectful to his mentor and I understand that. That’s called loyalty, right? That’s sort of nice. Hello, folks, how are you? That’s sort of nice. You’re loyal, I believe in that. So everybody said, “Rubio will never run,” the great genius pundits, they’re on Fox and CNN and MS[NBC]. They’re all there and “Oh, no, he’ll never run.” He runs, they’re all wrong. Very disloyal. It was disloyal. Very young. He runs. And they ask Bush, “What do you think of Rubio?”

Rubio comes out and he’s talking about Bush and, you know, “What do you think of Rubio?” “He’s my dear friend. He’s so wonderful. I love him so much.” Then there’s Rubio, who’s running against Bush, and he probably shouldn’t be from a loyalty standpoint, the veterans know what I mean about loyalty, right? Right? Right? So they ask Rubio, “What do you think of Bush?” Oh, he’s my dear friend. Wonderful, just wonderful. They hate each other. They hate. Trust me, I know. They hate so much. They hate more than anybody in this room hates their neighbor. Any. But it’s political bulls---, do you understand? It’s true. It’s true.

The entitlement mentality expressed by the child Bush is causing his naivety he can win to be openly expressed.

Yes-but is he still standing on his tippy-toes?

I’ll never be able to erase that image from my brain—it was one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

You do have to admit though that Jeb does look presidential. But then, the Edsel did look like a car.

The harsh truth is that the Jeb for president campaign has been one long series of entirely predictable mistakes. The wrong man in the wrong campaign at the wrong time.

I think Jeb! was OK with being President. Running for it? Not so much.

Since he's become the punching bag, his rookie gaffes point to just one thing: He no longer wants to run but the oligarchs pulling his strings won't let him quit.

FTA

As my colleague Scott McKay notes in “Bye, Jeb” this is the moment that the “CNBC debate marked the end of the Bush family’s hold on Republican politics.” And I would add, a hold that was solely due to Ronald Reagan’s graciousness and ability to unite the GOP. Never did Reagan believe that his hard-fought victory of grass-roots conservatives would be used to raise taxes (Bush 41), abandon the fight for limited government (the Bush 43 decision not to abolish the Department of Education but expand it instead), and that yet a third Bush would emerge trying to claim the Reagan mantle supporting even more encroachment of the feds (Common Core) and blithely proposing illegal immigration should be excused as an “act of love.”

Or Alcalde de Cancun! Then, he would have a lot of cool things to do like snorkeling and wind surfing and hunting for seashells, much better then being a stuffy old POTUS /s;)

Here’s the latest screwball saying from Chairman Jeb:

“I’m on the side of the people that want to rise up and I will wake up each day with joy in my heart,” said Bush. “I will not be an angry candidate. I will work as hard as I can to put a fork in the whole darn thing on March 15.”

He’s got to be either `phoning it in’ at this point in this painful farce, or he’s flipped a circuit breaker upstairs.
Or maybe he’s always been this way?
Floriduh? Ferris?
Ferris Buehler?

On a side note, the speaking style of Trump has been described as a “shaggy dog” motif. It is unique to any candidate’s form of speech that I’ve ever heard. I find it charming because it is a speech pattern that is extremely casual. It’s the way a friend might talk to you at the dinner table as they relate some story. It’s an extremely personal mode of speaking and I imagine it is part of the charisma of Trump.
