From Gabriel Sherman writing at New York magazine:
The candidate most imperiled by Trumps staying power is Bush, whose campaign had expected that Trumps childish antics would position the former governor favorably as the partys resident grown-up. Instead, the opposite has happened: Day after day, Trump is highlighting Bushs enthusiasm gap and laying bare the emotional distance between the Establishment front-runner and his more radical constituents. Trumps events, which have featured Aerosmith soundtracks and helicopter rides, make Bushs campaign stops seem about as exciting as Brookings Institution panels. A few days ago, when both candidates were in New Hampshire, Fox News cut to a commercial during a Bush speech in mid-sentence and teased an empty Trump stage, suggesting that even a vacant Trump lectern is more interesting than Bush talking. He really lacks energy, Trump told me.
The Bush campaign and its supporters are now taking the fight to the medium where Trump dominates: television. On August 16, Bushs super-PAC, Right to Rise, announced it will be dropping $10 million in ads in early-primary states. And yet, this is likely to goad Trump into a counterattack. If Trump starts doing TV spots, hed be a huge problem, says the fund-raiser. Trump told me hes prepared to counter Bushs ad buy with whatever it takes.

Jeb Bush is just simply the same Republican, “Establishment” RINO whimp as John McCain and Mitt Romney were!!! End of story!!!
Lewis Carroll ‘Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. But I was never believe that Jeb! could be elected president.
And, we are a lot freer than they think we are.
And, those of us in the private sector can run circles around the best they can conjure up.
Who still has (or at least answers) a land line any more? Jeb voters. That’s how Jeb is in 2nd place.

It sounds like he should just inherit the Presidency. I think he’s in for a surprise lol
The GOPe, their pundits and most of the MSM are in pre-psychotic breakdown at this point. They have no clue how to stop Trump and he knows it. :-)
You are wise, grasshopper.
.
Trump towers.
The key phrase is "DROPPING 10 MILLION".
They should buy booze and broads, get stoned, have sex and fuggetaboutit because they will be "DROPPING 10 MILLION".
“even a vacant Trump lectern is more interesting than Bush talking
Reality is shredding Jeb’s run, now stumbling!
Thanks for the best laugh, this morning!
“Bushs super-PAC, Right to Rise!”
Sounds like a rejected ad campaign for Viagra!
Bush is Hillary’s mole, the Bushes and Clintons are a tag team.
Jeb is taking himself down, he’s got a big bag of nothing, except for the last name, and even that is a killer with many voters.
Bushs super-PAC, Right to Rise,
Sounds like a rejected ad campaign for Viagra

Thanks for giving us old ladies the laugh of the day!
YeeHaaw...........that's darn good humor for a Saturday............
All Trump has to do to counter any iYeb ad is
Send out a tweet saying iYeb just wasted 10 million dollars given to him by the Chamber of Commerce to attack me because they want to continue to flood this country with cheap labor that you get to pay for. We should all refer to the iYeb Campaign as the cheap labor express-Paid for by the Chamber of Commerce.
Yep; Gibbering Jeb is one of those GOOOOD Republicans; you know ONCE BOUGHT HE STAYS BOUGHT.
Damn; his wife looks like a CHUD.
What a waste of time and energy! Trump should worry about a Biden/Warren or Sanders/Warren ticket rather than Jeb Bush. J.B. hasn’t got a snow ball’s chance in hell of getting the nomination let alone winning the presidency. His name is Bush for crying out loud — and instant disqualifier. Liberals and moderates sing the same old bull crap that he stole the 2000 election for his brother and some so called conservatives insist he killed Terry Schiavo. Trump and his crew should concentrate on the REAL enemy.
