PUNTA GORDA - Former Gov. Jeb Bush, whose national presidential campaign has dropped dramatically...

"I'm on the side of the people that want to rise up and I will wake up each day with joy in my heart," said Bush. "I will not be an angry candidate. I will work as hard as I can to put a fork in the whole darn thing on March 15."

Bush said he wasn't concerned with the criticism his campaign has received, saying there are 100 days until February and four months until the March 15 Florida primary.

"We have a long way to go," he said. "People don't know the whole Jeb story, but they will. We got a lot of resources and I'm going to campaign hard in early states and let them know that it's a record of accomplishments that is unmatched by anyone on that stage."...

"I'm going to campaign hard and I'm going to campaign to win," he said. "I feel really good about where we are."

The campaign has tried to adjust, cutting salaries and refocusing resources in early primary states...

"It's an indicator that the tide might be falling...a sinking ship," said Chris Ingram, a Republican Tampa-based political strategist.

Ingram said Bush has long-term sustainability, but needs to do something to "turn on the excitement."...in Florida kicking off his "Jeb Can Fix It" tour...

Bush acknowledged he's been getting a lot of advice... taking it with a grain of salt...

"The simple fact is you have to be who you are, and I know who I am. My compass points north. I'm comfortable in my own skin ...They're looking for a servant leader. They're not looking for a big personality on the stage."

On Friday night, about 100 people attended the rally

In light of Trump’s recent rallies in Jacksonville and Miami, estimates of 20,000 and 5,000 respectively, can 100 people be called a ‘crowd’?

For Jeb, his definition of Long Haul may end up being only until mid-November.

Is it just me or has Jeb cut back on his Spanish speeches?

In all reality he does look presidential; but then, the Edsel did look like a car.

” . . . you have to be who you are, and I know who I am.”

We too know who you are, Jeb, and we are not impressed.

How is it that youtube says those gals have had only a few thousand views? I thought they were a meme.

Thanks for that. I was just thinking last night that I haven’t heard from these 2 in a while. Looks like they’ve been busy.

I couldn’t remember their YouTube handle, so now I have it.

“um hmmm” “yes” “that’s right”

Love ‘em!

Their video after the first debate had almost a million and a half views. And they have over 17,000 subscribers on You tube.

For comparison, Bret Baier has 3500

Jeb Bush may not even be a bad guy, but he is so clumsy in this campaign.

"Hey! I'm authentic! You can tell because I said so."

He’s not a “good guy”. He’s a disaster waiting to happen.
