Poor fellow will have to get by on one of those low 7 figure DC lobbying jobs. But hey, it’s a living...
The $160-million dollar t-shirt. ;-)
Nothing in the future will ever top his tippy-toes move.
He’s the complete and consummate idiot.
You can add two gadgets to that list; The Segway,
The Google Camera Phone on the Head. Both items are very useful for limited applications and environments.
Jeb Bush wasn't a "marketing flop" at all. His brand was so badly tainted that I find it hard to believe anyone really thought he was electable. With his last name, he would have had almost no chance of winning a presidential election even if he was the perfect candidate in every other way.
The Edsel and New Coke were actually good products that suffered from marketing failure
Jeb Bush was just a crappy product that tons if money spent on slick marketing could not save
I think his +$100mm wasted money exceeds both New Coke and the Edsel.
New Coke was never intended to be permanent. It was a strategic hiatus to switch from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup without anyone noticing.
His father, George Honus Wagner Bush.
The Jeb fiasco just highlights how stupid the soon-to-be-departed GOP-e thinks we are.
I wouldn't be too sure. He remarked early on in his campaign that losing in the primaries was no big deal as he would win in the general. The fix was in back then. IMHO it is still in. They are just deciding as to how to implement it at GOPe.
Absurd that anyone thought Jeb ever had a chance. I guess it’s a testament to how out of touch the media/political elites are from the voters. The 12 years of Bush presidencies were a huge disappointment to conservatives. The Bushes dismantled the Reagan revolution. The presumptuousness of Jeb and his supporters was the stuff of comedy. And the funny thing is, they still don’t get it.
'Where's Jeb?'
Jeb Bush is a person, he’s not a product and it is stupid to compare him to one. Coke was and is pretty much perfect, so why you’d mess with that no one will even know. As for the Edsel I don’t know anything about it besides what I just read here, but if you’re making a “dream car for the middle class” reliability needs to be part of that mix.
Marco Rubio will be up there, too.
