Jeb Bush unveiled his "Jeb Can Fix It" presidential campaign last November during a low-key event in Jacksonville, a city that at least on paper should be solid Bush country.
The city's prominent donors back him. He played a role in one of the city's major sources of civic pride, bringing the Jaguars NFL franchise to town. His son, who held a fundraiser here, attended local private school The Bolles School.

The people that really know Jeb will reject him.He’s gonna get smoked in Florida.
Yeb! can’t fix anything.
I bet he doesn’t know which end of the screwdriver to hold onto.
I’ve got my 90-year-old mother pushing her walker in the snow.
Please clap. /Jeb Bush
I’ve been in Jax for 25 years. I know zero Jeb supporters.
All the rich country clubbers who can afford to send their kids to Bolles support Bush. Probably a lot of the Country Day and Episcopal parents, as well. But folks that have to commute long distances to work so they can send their kids to marginal, instead of really bad, public schools, or to the old seg academies aren’t going to be with Yeb! when it comes time to vote.
Which country club do you belong to? Probably not the top of the line if you don’t know any Jeb!sters.
——All the rich country clubbers-—
reflex action by the old folks
they have lost touch
Jeb can build it yes he can! Jeb just forgot what it is.
