Jeb's long-shot path to victory: Becoming inevitable

This explains George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney.

GHW Bush won because he was Reagan's veep, then lost because he stunk.

GWB won, barely.

The rest are losers. As is the most recent Bush. GOPe never changes.

[Calpublican]

If by some crooked manipulation Jeb became the nominee, he would lose like Dole, McCain and Romney.

[RetSignman]

On one his latest campaign videos he said...’income rose in peoples’ pockets and slapped his back pocket.

So his income program just helped people with a little pocket money?

I don’t know who is writing his ads but I hope they keep it up.

[RetSignman]

Yup, he would be the re-run of the McCain campaign.

“This explains George H. W. Bush (lost to the democrat), Bob Dole (lost to the democrat), George W. Bush (Dam* near lost to the Democrat), John McCain (lost to the democrat) and Mitt Romney (lost to the democrat)”. - There, fixed it.

[grcuster]

Jeb needs to go home. We have already had two too many Bushes already. They were all pathetic leaders who only legacy was expanding government and screwing the true and real American citizen.

[skeeter]

Yes he does. But Bush Co won’t go quietly, I’m afraid.

[kiryandil]

I sense the invevitability of his nomination. ¡Yebmentum! is building.

It's YUGE!!!

[Parley Baer]

Ol’ 4% soon to be 3%.

[wgmalabama]

Can you say super delegates?

[Skybird]

Jeb! has gotten nasty in his recent TV ads.

Time to raise the white flag and surrender Jeb!

[nomad]

What the hell have they been smoking?

[SERKIT]

Ah yes, the ‘next old fart in line’ strategery of the GOPe. Never works!

[Red Steel]

Those guys at the Washington Examiner have been smoking more DC wacky weed.

Four years ago today, eventual nominee Mitt Romney was tied with Newt Gingrich for the lead. Click here for article.

This was how the race looked (Gallup) on November 20, 2011...

1. Mitt Romney = 20%
2. Newt Gingrich = 19%
3. Herman Cain = 16%
4. Ron Paul = 10%
5. Rick Perry = 8%
6. Michelle Bachmann = 5%
7. John Huntsman = 1%
8. Rick Santorum = 1%

With Jebbie Bush sitting in Michelle Bachmann territory four years later, we can safely conclude he has no chance.

Donald Trump polling almost double what Mitt Romney was four years ago at this time suggests that he is on his way to the nomination.

THAT sounds wonderful :)

[CPT Clay]

Please NO, God.

[Georgia Girl 2]

What part of you are losing does Jeb not understand? I can’t believe his mother has let this go on so long.

[RoosterRedux]

There’s just something wrong with Jeb. And from the tales of his Andover classmates, it’s always been this way. He’s just different in an odd way.

[Sirius Lee]

Jeb Bush seems to fit nicely into this lineup....of Fail on Parade.
