The last time Jeb Bush put together a plan to salvage his campaign, it involved a bus tour through Florida and a few early-voting states, that old staple of primary campaigning. That was in early November, after Donald Trump had yanked the national lead from Bush's grasp and any sense of security from beneath his feet. Our Philip Rucker reported that the tour felt as much like a therapy session as an effort to connect with voters.

Campaign strategy or therapy session or whatever it was, it didn't work. From late October, right before the third Republican debate, until the middle of November -- after Bush's "Jeb Can Fix It" tour -- his polling averages nationally, in Iowa and in New Hampshire all fell. Through December, they fell further still in Iowa and nationally. Since Oct. 25, after three debates and one reboot, Bush has bled 13 percent of his support in New Hampshire, 23 percent in Iowa and 39 percent of his support nationally.

touching on the idea of him every pulling it out.

Pulling it out is what George H.W. Bush should have done.

I had never seen a non-campaign the likes of GHWB that year.

It was eerie.
