Yep, Bush will still be around come Florida if I had to put money on it. Rubio’s Bud Dwyer in the NH debate sunk him. Time will tell, but I see no way he comes back.. he had his moment coming out of IA, and he blew it.
I don’t like either of them, but I honestly would not write Bush off. I personally thought Christie was the only mainstream establishment guy who could stand toe to toe against Trump and have at least a chance of beating him head to head, but don’t think for one moment that Bush is out of this thing yet, as much as I may dislike his stands on many things, he’s not going away.
I can’t stand the Bushes — I resented the fact that Reagan chose HW over a solid conservative like Paul Laxalt. The rest of the Bush legacy has emanated from this “accidental presidency” that rode like a parasite on the back of the Reagan revolution. I liked W better and did vote for him and support him, but Jeb is no W.
But you are absolutely correct. You can’t count out Jeb Bush. If there is one thing Bushes have proven themselves to be good at, it is getting down and very dirty in SC when their backs are against the wall. I hope I’m wrong, since I want both Bush and Rubio out of this race.
