Jeb Bush: 'I hated' being front-runner, 'I feel much better' in back of pack
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/20/15 | Al Weaver

Posted on 12/20/2015 2:21:15 PM PST by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush claimed Sunday that he hated being the GOP front-runner during the beginning of the primary process, and prefers trailing the current front-runners.

Bush told "Face The Nation" host John Dickerson that he always thought there would be a "high expectation" for him to do well because of his family history. He said that he feels good about where the campaign is situated right now.

Jeb, I’m glad you feel better. Your participation trophy is under the Christmas tree.

After the last debate all I have to say is that the fat lady is singing. Time for Bush to get out of the race.

He should call up the Huckster and book in a round of golf over the holidays. Take Pataki and Graham and make it a foursome.

I think Bush might have been front-runner until the day after he announced. That was when Trump announced and it’s all been downhill since for Jeb.

Something is wrong with Bush. He has lost his mind.

So many members of the "elites" have a screw loose.

Growing up around unlimited money and power lets you get away with that. It's an environment that frees one from the Darwinian forces that enforce mental and intellectual discipline on a person. Result: you get Bushes, and Romneys, and Obamas.

There are exceptions. Trump was born with a silver spoon, and developed the mental discipline on his own.

Obama and Hillary Clinton grew up in trying circumstances, and yet mentally are like privileged losers, members of the elite.

This is a cry for help. Jeb wants out and he can’t seem to bring himself to just do it. The family needs to intervene.

He could add Rand Paul and make the foursome a loathsome.

Trump's father loved to work every day. Loved it.

Trump caught it from his father. Went home every weekend in college and cleaned Trump apartment utilities and facilities. And loved it.

His fellow classmen--partiers and drinkers--felt sorry for Trump.

Good disease to have.

That said, it is good to honor the Sabbath.

I worked everyday for a very long time (honored the Sabbath, though)...makes for fast advancement.

Worked late at night too (until 10:00 or 11:00)...slept in until 8:00 or 9:00 the next morning. Dared the big bosses to do the same (they couldn't).

I laughed at the title of this thread but the photoshopped image of #1 made me bust a gut!

Looks like Rove has added another chin since the last election.
