The Jeb Bush presidential campaign people deny it in a high-energy way so unlike their famously even-tempered boss: Tonight's South Carolina primary is not a litmus test for the former Florida governor's so-far fizzling presidential campaign. If he does lousy here, expect him to trudge on, through Nevada and next into Super Tuesday on March 1.

Go home to mama Jebbie, you will never be president.
He’s a slow learner, but I’m hoping he’ll at least come to his senses when the money runs out.
Best of Bush photos are needed as a farewell to JEB.
Don't think of it as $120 million down the terlit, think of it as 1,600,000 guacamole bowls making a grateful nation happy.
His attitude toward immigration, especially illegal immigration renders his views of everything else irrelevant. 10 to 40 million new Democrat voting citizens brings us immediately the Permanent Democrat Total State and at best relegates the Republican Party to local political club status and effectiveness. We cannot even count on all the ew voters becoming more conservative as they assimilate. Even if they did, they would have given the Democrat total power which they will not relinquish ever. Elections would become 99.7% shows. The power would very rapidly reach the point of Everything that is not forbidden is required.
I really, really LOVE that "guaca bowle." It is my all-time favorite campaign swag. Talk about a patronizing tin earred thing to put out there. I only wish it had the Jeb! logo on it.
It would have been a fantastic collector's item.
An ignominious end to the most destructive political family in American history.
Desperate Bush Dynasty effort in SC and Kasich might beat Jeb today. This is going to be good.
The one pictured for sale has the logo. This is your lucky day!

“Jeb Bush is beyond all doubt the most qualified person to lead this country as president.”
This is exactly the argument used to support Jeb’s father, who was a one-term failure as President. George the Elder was a WWII pilot, and had held just about every post within the government a person could hold, including CIA Chief.
Now I like George the elder in general, he’s a good family man and he has done a lot of service for the country (most of it before his Presidency). He’s too liberal for me of course, but there’s more to life than winning the “true conservative” contest.
Jeb seems more like his father than George, who seems more like his mother.
.....Colin Powell asserts in his new 2016 book: "there would have been no Iraq war" had then-Pres GWB and his c ouncilors understood that Hussein did not possess any functioning unconventional weapons. Powell lauded the fact that under Bush we got rid of the horrific Hussein government and toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.....
ANALYSIS Which just goes to show the US still hasn/t figured out the fervid Mideast mindset to this day. Its thousand-year-old sectarian internecine warfare was kept in check by strongmen like Saddam and Khadafi. Now these savages are marauding all over Europe.....and are coming here to kill us for what we did in Iraq.
POINTS TO PONDER
<><> Powell never mentions that the conniving Mideast types calculated the advantage of having a superpower in their midst....and they cashed in bigtime.
<><> The US gamely decided to train the indigenous population....it cost us billions and we managed to train 4-5 or so over five years.
<><> In the US we take them off the farm, send them to boot camp, and in 3 weeks we got soldiers.
<><> The Bank of Kabul where the CIA and DOD deposited billions to finance the war was a withdrawal-only goldmine for insiders.
<><> For public consumption, the US said we went into Iraq to show them the advantages of democracy and to get all warm and cuddly as they embraced it.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Remember this Colin? The war profiteering was outrageous. Neocon godfather Richard Perle relaxing in Paris (above the fray---nowhere near his cohorts plotting in the WH Office of Special Ops) got so rich w/ insider info, he was reported to be starting his own oil company.
<><> One last thing, Colin.....GWB estimated the Iraq strike would cost $50-60 billion.......then an angry Bush fired advisor Larry Lindsey because Lindsay dared to say the war might cost more like $100 billion.
That was in 2007 dollars.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY Iraq and Afghanistan today have cost the US some $3 TRILLION....and rivers of young blood. We/re still pouring US tax dollars into those decrepit Mideast countries, and..... as Donald says....we got NOTHING in return.
BTW, look who controls most of the Iraqui oil fields today.
I am so eagerly awaiting the absence of Jebcito! commercials from my SC tv. If he could only take the “My Pillow” commercials with him...
With Yeb gone who will we make fun of?
I’m cheering for Jeb to keep trying. He just has to hold on a little longer and the uninformed little people will finally understand his message. Until then, he’s helping to split the big-government pro-Amnesty RINO vote, and I’m okay with that too.
Perfectly emblematic of Jeb's entire campaign, really. I've never seen another candidate so perfectly hit all the wrong notes.
