Hampton, New Hampshire -- Teenagers wheeled around the cafeteria of Hampton Academy, eating pizza and waiting for the main event to begin. Country music blared over the speakers. An older gentleman sat back and read the paper. Staffers worked the room and reporters hunched over their laptops. The crowds were subdued; there wasn't a protester in sight.
It was a sizable gathering, which must've made Jeb Bush happy: having all but abandoned Iowa to Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the former Florida governor needs to build serious momentum in this state if he's going to remain a viable candidate after the nation's first primary. And Bush certainly came out swinging.
Trump was essentially a second presence on the stage; Bush could hardly answer a question without taking a shot at the Republican frontrunner.
When a member of the audience asked him if Trump's attacks had given him an opportunity to hone his candidacy, Bush responded with a resolute, "No. Donald's disparaging me has not made me a better candidate." He mocked Trump's style with a slightly esoteric mock-quote: "Leadership? No, I'm just a horse. It'll be yuuuge. It'll be fantastic."
An elderly woman, whose brother had been a Secret Service agent for the first President Bush, the family patriarch, scolded Jeb, saying, "Your mother probably didn't approve of you calling Trump a jerk." But Jeb assured her, "She probably did approve. I have first-hand knowledge of this."

While Jeb Bush, with his mother’s permission, spoke - his diminutive wife Columba scampered among the audience, collecting coins in her cap.
Not if Daddy has any say. He’s the embodiment of the establishment. Jeb! needs to buy a clue - get out and go do something ‘cool’.
So, if you have first-hand knowledge, why the wishy-washy "probably" approval? Either she did or she did not.
Whatevs, Yebs!, Mexico -———> That way.
Somehow, I never associate Jeb or any Bush with the term “populist”.
Jeb better hope his donors don’t have a life insurance policy on him.
Please just go away Yeb.
“My name is Mattie Ross, of Near Dardanelle in Yell County. My family owns property, and I don’t know why I’m being treated like this!”
Jeb another poll in full DENIAL mode
The only populist revolt Jeb! Started was the one against his candidacy.
LOOOL!
Babs Bush, like the rest of the family, could not wipe their a$$es without local, state and federal government money.
From that little jerk Neil who fleeced all sorts of people, to Jeb trading on his positions to “W” making big bucks off the Texas stadium deal and the list goes on and on all the way back to Prescott Bush. Another little Bush snot is making money off his position as Texas Land commissioner, at least that is while he is actually working.
I’ll take a guy who made his own money any day over some professional politician that licks the anus of the Saudi king like JEB!!! has done.
Say what you want about trump and you can basically say they same thing about Cruz, they have turned on bright lights that have made a lot of cockroaches scatter and the Bush family is full of cockroaches. next, on to the Clinton mafia and out those thieves!

Even with his lucky pocket turtle, and the note from his mommy, Jeb couldn’t lead a Cub Scout across the street without getting them both run over.
MY pleasure.
He meant “popsicle”.
