Rumor: Jeb Bush to drop out of race on Monday

There is a rumor going around that Jeb Bush will drop out of the GOP run for president on Monday, October 26th. I’d like to believe this rumor, but so far it’s only being reported by a few moderate web traffic sites. It’s long past due for Jeburrito to drop out of the race. Regardless if you like Trump or not, chances are you don’t like Jeb Bush. He has the lowest favorables of any GOP candidate, including Trump.

I really want to believe, but I simply cannot take a source saying “Jeburrito” seriously.

***Jeb Bush to drop out of race on Monday***

Of course he has all that $cash$ - which may send candidates to his door begging - except the Donald, naturally... He could still play a pivotal role - and end up in a GOP admin as Secretary of Redundancy...

“Where would the rest of his PAC money go?”

A hacienda in Mexico? More clothes, jewelry, purses, shoes, etc. for Columba? Backbone transplant?

Trump should have his rallies videotaped showing the size of his audiences and post them to YouTube because the MSM “refuses” to show how big and how enthusiastic Trump’s crowds are. Anyone with a contact in the Trump camp please suggest that.

All the mini-me liberals should drop out of the GOP race. They are nothing but negative and have nothing to add to the race.

Probably Rubio’s seat since Rubio has announced he’s not running for re-election.

The family meeting may have been an "attaboy" session, or just a consultation with his family regarding how to handle the upcoming debate. Trump has already set Jeb up like a bowling pin; I suspect the Donald will be gently needling Jeb and others, but only in response to digs made on him, and will do it all with a smile on his face.

Before anyone announced, Jeb was being presented by the drive-bys as a fait accompli; now that it's obvious that Trump is headed for nomination and election, the drive-bys cook up some imaginary problem after each debate. Carly -- rememeber her? She was the up and coming star, Trump was starting to fade. Right now it's Carson, same kinds of things being said.

The pre-primary part of the campaign is perhaps the most important, because it's a long unrequited struggle before the first primary/caucus. If Jeb drops out, his supporters will go to Christie, Carson, Carly, or Rubio.

Rubio pretty much lit himself on fire this week with his foolish remarks. Christie is a gun-grabbing, amnesty-pushing, Shariah-apologist, and apart from *maybe* NJ, is unlikely to put up big numbers anywhere. Not sure where his campaign raises money, but I doubt he has many prospects. No money, no campaign.

Carly is unelectable because of that old late-hit Boxer's campaign laid on her during her Senate run. Because she's also from the world of business, she and Trump might not make the best pairing, but given their history, and her gender, patching things up would make lib heads 'splode.

If Trump is the nominee, he's going to need a running mate; best bet is Ted Cruz (and the drive-bys have resumed their anti-Cruz nonsense). He'd also be young enough and seasoned enough eight years later to run in his own right. Trump with a Latino running mate would make lib heads 'splode.

In eight years, Jeb will be 70, will have even less political appeal than now, and won't that be too bad.

I haven’t seen that clip. He actually said that out loud within earshot of a cameraphone?

Rubio probably just took himself out this weekend too with his ‘bored’ statement. After all, if you are sick of how slow the Senate is, why would you put yourself and your legacy at the backend of that supply chain?

Good to see you posting.

I was listening to Trump’s Jacksonville speech and he made mention that Jeb had paid his Finance Chairman $1.5 Million, and that Jeb was now having to cut staff and slash campaign salaries by 40%. What real value did Jeb really get for all that money?????????

Politics has become a year round Big Business, with so called political consultants and experts being paid outrageous amounts of money for average work.

A lot of these people thought they would hot the Mother Lode with Trump and that he would be forking out that kind of money for their dubious advice and services. Yet he bypasses them and hires a very small staff and runs on a shoe string budget and right now is beating them all because of his mastery of the Media. Unreal!

LOL!!!!!

Unfortunately I see him becoming another zombie presidential candidate who runs for president again and again and again.

Well, jebtard! certainly has the Pat Paulson "Up yours!" schtick down pat. Unfortunately he cluelessly excises the "I upped my standards" part of the phrase which is what makes it a joke. He just repeats the punch line without understanding, and in doing so, becomes the nervously looking around "he who lasts laugh" guy in the room.

Jeb made the mistake of not listening to his mom from the start! She knew Jeb should not run as it won’t turn out well.

Hope Jeb just gives it up.

However, when Jeb does give up, watch for Romney to jump in with a nice big push from the money source and GOP. They will probably want to start pushing a Romney/Rubio ticket soon! If I am right, it still won’t work as Donald Trump will, in my opinion, will win Florida in our Primary on March 15th and the National election on November 8th!

In case anyone does not know, NO ONE goes to the White House without winning the Sunshine State! :)

Absolutely

This could be the biggest fundraising event of his candidacy. I’d send him a hundred bucks just to go away.

I predict the Wednesday night debate will be the end of Jebster. Trump will have him defending his brother and his money struggles all night.
