For Jeb Bush's loyalists, the first moment of palpable panic - and there would be more than they ever expected in the months to come - built over four days last May when their not-yet-presidential candidate struggled repeatedly to utter a one-word answer - No - to an utterly predictable question: Should the U.S. have invaded Iraq?

From the start, the campaign hired extensively and paid handsomely. That money, though, couldn't come from Right to Rise, which had pulled off a record $103 million haul in six months. The campaign needed to raise the cash itself. It couldn't keep up. The budget had to shrink, again and again.
Each round, donors panicked again. Some sent angry emails with their ideas of what - and who - needed to change.
"Very seldom do you start a company with $100 million in the bank and manage to blow it out of the door, with little results to show for it," said Miami healthcare magnate Mike Fernandez, who gave more than $3 million to Right to Rise before he became displeased with the campaign last fall. "You don't start a start-up with 100 employees. You've got to work your way into it.
"I think they misread it: They felt that they were going to win, so instead of starting lean and mean - I'm just guessing - they started with a transition team. When you think of yourself as the appointed one from Day One - or your team does - something's going to give."

Isn’t it time to bury this. Jeb is out and that is what everyone wanted, so give it a rest.
Jeb Bush was a loser the first time he came on national TV and looked and acted like a 7 year old kid trying to find his way to a bathroom...
Like Trump said months ago, the well connected, the PACs, influence peddlers, et al, are becoming multi-millionaires in these election scams. Those blowing the big money on these scams want control and influence.
You are a very sick person. Jeb is out what do you want, him dead as well. When will this childish sophomoric behavior end.
As a Texan, it’s not over until George P. is tossed out of office.
George P. has been a disaster in his own right.
George P is scheduled to go on trial tomorrow for attempting to loot the private Alamo artifacts collection of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
I’ll post updates as I get them.
It was over before the author states, it was over the day Yeb! said he was willing to lose the primary to win the general.
He thought he could get nominated without conservatives.
That is a losing strategy, obviously.
It’s just Schadenfreude and pile-on. A few more days and everyone will tire and be done with it.
No Christian should take pride in destroying a person after they have been defeated, what does that do for ones on soul and spirit? Unless one is not a Christian of course, then it would be GREAT fun I suppose. sick.
“’Jeb was the candidate of ideas and experience, and the election has been about feelings and entertainment,’ said U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a Miami Republican”
How they continue to be TOTALLY WRONG. Trump is the ONLY ONE with creative ideas (i.e., the wall, sending them back, banning terrorists).
But if they still want to think it’s about ‘feelings and entertainment’ that’s fine too - makes it that much easier for Trump to quickly wrap this up.
“You are a very sick person. Jeb is out what do you want, him dead as well. When will this childish sophomoric behavior end.”
He’s a woman killer and a coward. I’d have to be deathly ill to pass up a chance to spit on him.

“George P is scheduled to go on trial tomorrow for attempting to loot the private Alamo artifacts collection of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.”
No kidding? Did he do it?
Thank you. Some people on here conveniently forget about Terri. They think of nothing but their psychotic hatred of Trump.
He issued orders to the Texas General Land Office to steal the artifacts. He had others do his dirty work and now they’re going to trial.
