Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush huddled in secret with a handful of reporters as he’s slipping in the polls ahead of the next debate here on Wednesday evening, Breitbart News has learned.
Bush met in private for an off-the-record meeting on Tuesday with RealClearPolitics’ Rebecca Berg, the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, Fox News’ John Roberts and CNN’s S.E. Cupp.
A Republican political insider told Breitbart News:
Two reporters complained to me today that their editors and producers forced them to attend an off the record pre-debate meeting with Jeb Bush, who is in single digits in all national and state polls. I was also told that the meeting was so low energy and boring that one reporter described it as a ‘snooze siesta.’ Jeb wavered for five days on whether to hold the gathering but then decided that it would be a mistake not to try and spin tomorrow’s loss which will be both in form and substance. The good news is that Jeb spoke to an audience which doubled his last campaign event.
Bush spokesman Tim Miller didn’t immediately return a request for comment, nor did the other attendees or representatives for them.

Interesting...
Getting his crib sheet in order.
Hope Yeb gets in a good nap ahead of tonight’s ‘Debate The Moderator’.
AMBUSH CITY on Trump tonight, just wait.
Carly and Hugh FROM HELL.
Fasten your seatbelts, this will be way beyond Candy Crowley.
I wonder if Candy Crowley was conferenced in for old times’ sake.
Trump ought to ask JEB! about this “off the record” cram session with the “unbiased” media in the debate tonight. That would be interesting information for the viewing public.
Has Luntz and company declared Trump the loser yet?
Pray AMerica is waking
Would not be one bit surprised.
Soros was probably on the line, too.
Sounds like CNN is trying to accommodate the RNC by setting up a 10-on-1 debate dynamic instead:

I’m wondering why or if Trump didn’t stick to his pledge to not attend unless the excess advertising profits are being donated to Veteran’s causes.
Trump should inform Hugh Hewitt that it is his plan to have the bad guys study him (Trump) and worry about what his plans are, rather than the opposite.
Perhaps someone with a Twitter account will tweet the news to Trump.
He needs a Candy Crowley.
Maybe Trump will bring this up in the debate later.
L’il Jebbie.
“I’m wondering why or if Trump didn’t stick to his pledge to not attend unless the excess advertising profits are being donated to Veteran’s causes.”
He pledged that? I read he ‘suggested’ to CNN that since he’s making them a ton of money, they ought to donate $10M to veterans groups. I didn’t hear he gave them an either/or proposal. Do you have a link to that by any chance?
Should the Spanish pronunciation be...Heb?

.....which desperate Jeb figured was a good turnout since it doubled the attendance at his last canpaign event......
