The Republican lashed out on Wednesday, after Governor Nikki Haley's endorsement went to Marco Rubio.
This is not the first time that the pundits have declared a Jeb Bush campaign deathwatch, but the vital signs are getting weaker and weaker, and South Carolina may provide the final blow.
The latest bad news came on Wednesday, when popular Governor Nikki Haley endorsed Senator Marco Rubio. Her backing gives Rubio another boost in his quest to consolidate the backing of the Republican establishment against Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, and it makes it even harder for Bush to do that. Bush had been angling for Haley's endorsement too, and on Tuesday-in a moment of candor he may regret now, told NBC, "She is the probably the most meaningful endorsement if there is, if she is going to give an endorsement it would be the most powerful meaningful one in the state."
A little bit too much honesty was Bush's theme on Wednesday. After news of the Haley endorsement leaked, he lashed out during a trail stop. "It's all decided, apparently. The pundits have already figured it out. We don't have to go vote. I should stop campaigning maybe, huh? It's all done," he sniped

Bye Jeb. We hardly knew ye. Probably a nice guy - but not for this.

good cartoon

Just go. Away. Far, far away.
His run is much like the western world’s economic collapse. The experts wonder what is taking so long, but the truth is he can hang in there longer then he should - way longer. Ultimately it must end when the money runs out.

People are tired of Bushes, each of who disappointed Americans. They are probably nice folks; kind, rich and deep, having proper relations with their families and are kind to their dogs. Thank you Bushes for your attempted political service to our nation now go home and sit on the sidelines. (Bush senior really did serve in the Pacific in WWII)
It’s not time to give up yet. Jeb should stay in for another six weeks at least. Then he can give up.
Being a eugenicist himself, Heb will understand:

Ah, the good old days! A time when Supreme Court judges could speak their minds, free of the P.C. Police cracking down on them in the court of public opinion.
The above quote is from Oliver Wendell Holmes, writing the majority opinion in Buck v. Bell.
In this case the court upheld the constitutionality of a Virginia compulsory sterilization law enforced upon the mentally retarded.
Hasta la vista baby.
That heifer Haley is certainly not popular with me.
Such a spoiled brat. Sorry Veruca, you can't have a squirrel.
Sure hope so.
Lets fill'er up!
If it isn't then Bush is a masochist and his financial backers are idiots.
The problem is that in DC, good men are merely grist for the mill.
sigh...
Nah. He still has lots of money, and he’s totally delusional. He ain’t dropping out yet.
Bye, Yeb!
However, if I were Rubio I would not be celebrating this endorsement too much. Haley, I have found, is simply another RINO.
