Jeb Bush's three delegates at the Republican National Convention cost him and his campaign about $50 million each.
Bush, who ended his presidential campaign in February after a poor showing in South Carolina, had only three delegates vote for him at the Republicans' nominating convention Tuesday. His campaign and super PAC spent $46 million for each delegate, according to The Washington Post's Dave Weigel. He was a favorite going into the primary season and had substantial financial backing from his family network, but he was unable to muster the enthusiasm his campaign needed.
Donald Trump's attacks on Bush as “low-energy” resonated with GOP voters and hurt the former Florida governor, who struggled to compete with the business mogul.
Bush has said he won't vote for either Trump or presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and has no plans to attend the Republican convention.
He had a golden opportunity to show some real class. If he had acted like anything but a petulant child he maybe could have sown the prospect of a future candidacy. As it is, he’ll forever be remembered as a spoiled brat.
One can differentiate between Jeb Bush and the whole family.
It is the fad here to trash the whole family. that is unwarranted
“Jeb Bush’s three delegates at the Republican National Convention cost him and his campaign about $50 million each.”
Cash for clunkers?
These three delegates....do you think they hang out in the convention or mostly just sit at some hotel bar and sip Singapore Slings....talking about the NFL season...and swapping stories about college?
What an embarrassment.
Recall that part of Jeb’s strategy was to win without the conservative base. Mr. Trump needs to avoid that strategy. It’s a loser. I’m surprised he hasn’t won over Cruz and many of his supporters.
[I’ve forgotten about Jebbie already.]
It would be appropriate at this time to post a montage of JEB pictures for the memories.
Bush and Cruz will be in the spotlight for a long time, always there in the background hoping Trump will trip up.
Jeb Bush Kicked Off Stage At Rotary Luncheon
LOL!!! I hadn’t seen that one.
Trump certainly forced the GOPee to dodge that bullet.
” I remember various dimwits appearing on Fox and CNN....making that analysis. “
While we’ve known for years...thru multiple election cycles...that these experts and their enabling media accomplices were dishonest, worthless POS’s, this election has shown the public in general how irrelevant they are.
Chris Mathews’s whining, mewing diatribe over the Monday night RNC speech by Pat Smith was especially revealing.
May their TV ad revenue dry up, and their Amazon book rankings plummet.
Barbara Bush warned him.
Have they factored in the cost of the nails for the Bush dynasty’s coffin in those estimates?
“Bush has said he won’t vote for either Trump or presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and has no plans to attend the Republican convention.”........
Look for “Jebbie” to be holed up in some college “safe space” so he can be all by himself, safe and sound. He’s acting like a spoiled teenager, glad he got ousted.
It may be heresy to say it on this forum, but I’d be a Bush delegate for a lousy $20 million.
lol He was never a favorite except in the minds of the GOPe and himself.

41, supported Gorbachev, detested Yeltsin, unraveled the Reagan Revolution, spook, lied about raising taxes, Ruby Ridge, cut throat gesture at Trump, globalist slut.
43, Ramos and Cumpian, Scooter Libby, sheltered Saudis in wake of 911, initiated neocon sand wars we are still in and to no purpose, defined Islam as a “religion of peace”, globalist slut.
Laura, culture of death slut, supporting abortion and queer “marriage”.
Barbara Bush, Shelob in the middle of the Bush web, enabler in chief of this crime family, pro abortion, main defender of hapless Jeb Bush.
You are just a stump broke neocon party hack and Bush toady, purveying the deceits of the 80s and 90s.
The Bushes and the Clintons are gandydancers on the railroad to hell. To hell with them ALL.
