It was not a good night for Jeb Bush ...
Business Insider ^ | 10/29/15 | Maxwell Tani

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) has entered into a much less "joyful" stage of his presidential campaign.

Bush did little to aid a struggling campaign during Wednesday night's debate, in a performance that opened up new questions about the once-front-runner's status in the race.

"Jeb Bush can eat carbs now," quipped Matt Drudge, editor of The Drudge Report, in a reference to Bush's Paleo diet.

Appearing on CNN afterward, Bush appeared rather exasperated. CNN's Dana Bash asked him whether he was frustrated with his performance. He brushed aside the question, but he hinted he didn't appreciate the questions or the amount of speaking time he received.

"Nope, not frustrated," Bush said, grinning slightly.

"I wish I had gotten questions on, you know - got to answer questions on things that are on the minds of people, you know, entitlement challenges, the debt. I got fantasy football. That's important I guess, but not as important as other things going on."

When pressed by Bash about whether other candidates onstage outperformed him, Bush interjected.

"I'm running for president of the United States. I'm running with heart. I'm not a performer. If they're looking for an entertainer-in-chief, I'm probably not your guy."

It's past time for senor el Jebbo to go do those "more important" things he has to do.

-- He'll be gone in a week. --

I'm fine if it takes two more months.
He's burning money that won't be used to support a "stronger" NWO/GOPe candidate (Rubio).

A few months ago, the media was following Jeb around like paparazzi, hoping to get a glimpse of him taking an Uber ride.

My how Trump has changed the race.

“I’m probably not your guy.”

Freudian slip from Jebbie.

“My how Trump has changed the race.”

Signs of life from many of the candidates. They have to, to keep up. That is Trump dynamic on these soporific sloths.

He is always trying to be so diplomatic. Even in this interview after the fact. "I got fantasy football. That's important I guess, but not as important as other things going on."

Jeb is so NOT a performer. Being diplomatic in the face of idiocy being dished out by these activist media hacks is guaranteed to fail to accomplish anything. But he just can't help himself. Get off the stage Jeb. You're not capable of being a leader.
