Stumbling through his short speech in an under-crowded room in a New Hampshire middle school, Jeb Bush looked surprisingly pathetic given his long tenure as a politician. Watching Bush speak made me feel incredibly sorry for him. Bush still spoke with a genuine desire to help Americans succeed, and despite his plummeting poll numbers the few devoted followers in the crowd still referred to him as "the future president". It must be awful to be the presumed successor of a father and a brother, only to fail on an epic level from the get go. I'm no Republican, but of all the candidates the pathos of Jeb Bush pulls at my heart strings. However, a candidate can not win based on the pity of the electorate alone. Presidential candidates, especially in the current election, are expected to be exciting and to introduce big new ideas. Sadly, Jeb Bush is the opposite of exciting, despite the exclamation point he added to his campaign slogan (Jeb!).

Do you climb with the Jeb ever have support?
Jeb. has all the excitement of a rice cake.
Couldn’t have happened to a more privilaged brat.
NO TALENT A$$CLOWN
Born in a bubble and lied to his whole life.
No way did I ever linger with Jebbie over sausage plates and grilled jalapenos.
Stiff, low energy, the burden of carrying a Bush name in 2016, drab, humorless, weak, puchless...I mean who looked at this guy and said “Yea man, I think you have a chance. Totally run for 2016”
DOA. I mean Dole had more energy and excitement behind him in 1996.
How the plug hasn’t been pulled on Yeb yet I have no idea. Some may say he’s trying to stay on the field to recover the proverbial fumble in the rare case Trump falters but, the people would literally mass around 8 other candidates before Jeb.
The GOPee anointed him from the get-go and tried to shove Jebbers down our throats but we said ‘no gracias’. Perhaps Jeb got pawned himself from the GOPee but he didn’t help his cause any either. Go back home Jebster— you ain’t the one.
” Bush still spoke with a genuine desire to help Americans succeed - - “
He may speak with a genuine desire, but I seriously doubt if he really wants Americans to succeed in the traditional Christian/Constitutional/Capitalist rugged individual/minimal government culture America was founded on and made America great.
The number of uses I have for him or old lady Clinton range from none to zero.
Really, anything with Clinton or Bush in it should have a barf alert!
Cry me a river for this arrogant putz....he runs on Common Core & endless third world immigration in a republican primary with a smirk on his face like we are just going to eat another you know what sandwich. Not this time Jeb.
I would not count the Bush out until the Nomination is proclaimed and he is not it. He is not enduring humiliation for want of expectations.
Yes. Rove and Priebus’ brokered convention scheme to declare Cruz ineligible and give his delegates to Jeb is why’s Jeb’s still in the race.
Gotta love it!
Daddy and Bro were not that sellar of presidents.
Daddy brought us BJ Clinton.
Bro brought us Obama — 2 terms — and massive debt.
Jeb will probably actually win a couple of Northern states.
The most unsuitable candidate to run for President this century.
As long as Jeb! stays in the race there is something fishy afoot.
It didn’t help him that he went to McCain to try to find out how he could win without the right wing conservatives.
Then, in typical Republican moderate style, he tried to claim he is a conservative. Last year, he claimed he was a ‘reform conservative’ — whatever that is.
