The 'Jeb Bush Comeback' Narrative Arrives Ahead of Schedule
New York Magazine ^ | 12/28/15 | Ed Kilgore

You knew it was coming at some point before actual voters put paid to it. But a "Jeb Bush comeback" narrative arrived ahead of schedule today with a Michael Brendan Dougherty column at The Week making the case that the former Florida governor is positioned to take a big leap from the political intensive care unit to the GOP presidential nomination.

Dougherty's case boils down to three points: First, Marco Rubio ain't exactly setting the world on fire as the presumed successor to Jeb as the Establishment Republican favorite. Second, Jeb's super-pac has an awful lot of money. And third, John McCain pulled off this sort of comeback in 2008.

Unfortunately for Jeb, all three arguments are shaky at best.

The Miami media was running commercials for Jeb all day, disguising them as “news” stories....The stories consisted of long sound bites from Jeb’s new commercials bashing Trump.

Got bias?

Yet also at the same time unintentionally hilarious. Perfectly epitomizes the foundering status of his campaign.

Gotta love his campaign sign “Jeb can fix it” plastered behind him while pulling out baby Jesus.

It was a shame the way they hung Juan McQueeg around Sarah's neck.

She could have won with a Republican running mate.

She certainly could have. It almost seemed like every time she would get McQueeg ahead, he would do something stupid to screw it all up. I voted for her anyway.
