MANCHESTER, New Hampshire---Jeb Bush didn't exactly name names when he made his prediction for which of his fellow candidates would finish in the top three in Iowa, but it was clear who he was talking about.
"It's all about him and insulting his way to the presidency is the organizing principle," Bush said of Donald Trump. "The two other candidates that are likely to emerge in Iowa are two people that are backbenchers who have never done anything of consequence in their lives," he added, seemingly of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

“Bush insults the three winners of Iowa.”
While moaning about insults.
No, not defending Rove - I don’t like him. I am a history buff though, and just to set the record straight, that quote is up for grabs by anyone.
To late for that. He does not sound very joyful either, does he?
I don’t understand why people would vote for Yeb. Why bother going to vote when you know you’re throwing away your vote. I would rather stay home and have a cup of warm chocolate and watch it on tv.
Jeb only got 3 pct in Iowa (finishing sixth, but still picked up a delegate)... but was only polling at four percent anyway. In NH and SC, he is polling at 10 and 11 percent, which puts him in 4th in each of those two. Look for lots of “comeback kid” stories if he tops 13 percent in either state, or comes in 3rd (topping Kasich’s 11 in NH, perhaps)... if the GOPe and media aren’t stumping fully for Rubio by then, they could still jump back in the Jeb camp.
[singing] your cash ain't nothin' but trash...
Jeb doesn’t amount to a pimple on his brother’s a$$. GWB had his flaws but, except during his drinking days, gracelessness was not one of them. You got soundly beat, Jeb. Trounced, whipped, thumped, and creamed. You could at least take it like a man and quit while you might still be able to scrounge together some friggin’ dignity. From here out you’re just wasting your own time and a s#!+load of other peoples’ money.
Well said.
Jebbie left Iowa early today. Didn’t even stick around and throw a thank you party for his supporters. What a jerk.
I wonder about the process — especially since someone said that her dead mother in law got one of Cruz’s letters.
“The two other candidates that are likely to emerge in Iowa are two people that are backbenchers who have never done anything of consequence in their lives...”
How ungracious is THAT?
“Jeb hasn’t gotten over the fact that he’s been completely rejected.”
Contrast that with Perry, who quickly realized it wasn’t gonna happen and skedaddled.
I thought that those who got under 10% (he got 3%) wee aromatically dropped off the campaign?
Jebbers is clearly in the early stages of old age bitterness syndrome.
It’s entertaining to see Trump continues to light up the Chump (Jeb).
Surrender, Jebbers!
Three cheers for Jeb! I want him to stay and to continue splitting the RINO pro-Amnesty vote with Rubio, Christie, and Kasich.
Who he really insulted were the three quarters of the electorate who voted for them. BTW, there was only one winner.
I read in the past few days that Barbara Bush was going to campaign for Jeb! in NH in the next week or so - they were just trying to figure out logistics, dates, etc.
