LAS VEGAS — Jeb Bush’s first post-debate political rally started a few minutes early, in a rec center room built for 200 but only half-full. He started with an in-joke, about a candidate who would not be named and whose rallies were at least a basketball stadium larger.

“I hope that I am so brilliant and so eloquent and so high-energy that you feel compelled to caucus for me,” Bush said as chairs were put down to fill out space. After delivering some of his stump speech, he asked if anyone had seen the debate. “It was crazy, different,” he said, before returning to the subjects of 4 percent economic growth, his “heart to serve” and the unaffordable spending plans of Democrats.

You’d think at least his big money Chamber of Commerce type contributors would show up to ask him what the hell are they getting for their money.

[catnipman]

Jeb’s dead, baby. Jeb’s dead.

He should stay away from mentioning 4%.

Pray America is waking

I have never seen a tighter “Crop”....of a “crowd of people than is evident in the photo of Yeb in Las Vegas today!

The photo shows maybe four people or at least parts of four people.....at relatively close range...

“I hope that I am so brilliant and so eloquent and so high-energy that you feel compelled to caucus for me,”

[bigbob]

Hopefully W or his mom or someone will play the old Kenny Rogers song about knowing when to fold ‘em to him...(in Espanol, of course)

[JennysCool]

If I’m one of those “big-money Jeb Bush donors” everybody’s always talking about, I’m slamming my wallet shut and trying to get a little of that green back.

[tennmountainman]

Now that pic says it all Gator! Ha.

[cripplecreek]

Jeb and Hillary should team up. Together they might fill a small dining hall.
