"He's said he can't quite understand this phenomenon,"

That is the problem in a nutshell. Your instance on pushing your very unpopular liberal ideology was completely tone-deaf to the base you were trying to get to vote for you. At least your father knew to run in the primaries as a conservative even if it was an act.

[dowcaet]

Don’t buy a new pair of running shoes Jeb this race has been over for you a long time ago.

Bush has expressed exasperation at ... how a bullying tycoon with a tenuous grasp of foreign policy has commandeered the primaries

Well, since your solution to that, of resurrecting !yeb, is not going to pan out... just do the next best thing - support the guy currently polling #2.

Yeb stated he could win the nomination without carrying the base. Ha! I wonder if he’s low enough to admit defeat, apologize for his stupidity and arrogance?

[Luke21]

How many times will they re-write this story?

[Wissa]

Jeb actually believes the Tortoise and Hare story is the ultimate guide to racing.

Getting the turtles ready for the race. On your marks! Get set!.... It's like trying to heard turtles. ;-)

"I've now come to a recognition that New Hampshire is probably do or die for Jeb," the donor said..

I’ve got news for jeb. He doesn’t HAVE a campaign

[Rome2000]

Jeb Bush is insane.

This guy couldn’t even stop the evil democrat marxists from starving Terri Schiavo to death even tough he was Governor and his brother was POTUS at the time.

Hussein Baraka, Shrillary!, heck, even Al Sharpton would have had no problem saving her if she was black.

Jeb is a pathetic LOSER!.

Now even the fundraising has collapsed.

Jeb last seen downtown grinding a barrel organ while his wife scampered around collecting coins from the crowd.

Hay que lastima! Yebito es un grande tostado. Hasta Luego Yeb!

Bush launched his campaign as the prohibitive favorite

This is the problem with the "establishment." After the back to back debacles of McCain and Romney, they thought Jeb Bush was the right guy.

Do they never learn?

"Joshua says: 'Republicans win by losing' - the WOPR is never wrong!"

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Exactly.

Jeb’s campaign is the Titanic and it has hit the iceberg.

Meanwhile, Jeb thinks he can bail it out with a bucket.

Not gonna happen.

"He's said he can't quite understand this phenomenon," the donor, who spoke under anonymity so he could discuss the campaign more freely, told AFP.

It has been distressing, the donor said, for Bush "to see someone like Trump rewarded for so many intolerant, outrageous, false statements that he says all the time."

Yeah, I can tell he doesn't understand it. It's plainly evident in these two sentences.

[Future Snake Eater]

your very unpopular liberal ideology was completely tone-deaf to the base you were trying to get to vote for you

Nope, it was even worse than that. Remember when his campaign stated it was going to bypass the base? His plan was to soak up all the rich donors and not leave money for the rest of the candidates thus forcing him as our only option. He explicitly planned to stiff-arm conservatives.

Give it up, Jeb. There is nothing to salvage.
