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.

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

Them high-dollar GOPe donors are keeping him well-stocked in pizzas and hamburgers. For sure.

When was he the frontrunner? He announced June 15.

Trump has been since he announced in June 16.

Sounds like the makings of a realty TV show: Would you like to be frontrunner for a day?

During last night’s Democrat Debate, what name was repeated over and over again?

It sure wasn’t Bush. In fact, was Bush mentioned even once?

Time for Bush to get out of the race.

No..... let him and his RINO supporting buddies spend their accounts dry.

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

You really should read up on the life story of Donald Trump.

His father did not spoil him at all, but rather made him work work work. His father’s work ethic was imprinted on young Donald from an early age and Donald in turn passed it on to his children. There are no slackers in the Trump family or businesses. They all work their butts off.

When Donald was a young boy, he had behavioral problems, so his father sent him to a military academy. When Donald returned and started college, his father made him work on weekends scrubbing toilets and replacing them, fixing up apartments and homes. While his buddies were out partying, Donald had to work with only a break for church on Sundays.

Somehow, the phrase ‘silver spoon’ doesn’t fit Donald’s life. Sure his family had money, but they worked their butts off for it and to this day Donald looks at money as a great responsibility, a resource that has to be grown by doing great things of high standards. He only allows extravagance when there is a business upside. If Melania or Ivanka start businesses of extravagance, the bottomline is what Donald demands.

Donald also went broke, terribly broke and after wandering about rudderless for a spell, he launched an incredible comeback. A ‘silver spoon’ had nothing to do with it.

He was who the GOPe and the dhimmicrats and the msm were pushing as hard as they could push to be front runner, but they all failed, and hence yebbie never actually was the front runner
