For Jeb Bush, the bar for awkward encounters is set pretty high. After all, his father once vomited in the lap of Japan's prime minister and his brother, George W., well, where do we even start?
But, Jeb, oh, Jeb. We shouldn't have underestimated you.
His campaign has been enigmatic from the get-go. On the one hand, there are times where he seems barely interested and would rather die than have to do another campaign rally. On the other, he showed fire whenever Donald Trump was around and he needed to defend the family honor.
As the campaign has dragged on, Jeb has gotten so desperate - either for a win or to just be put out of his misery - that the awkward moments are coming fast and furious. But don't misunderstand: It's been like that from the start. The weird moments are just really starting to pile up now.
So, here's your definitive guide to Jeb's most awkward moments on the 2016 campaign trail. Enjoy.

You didn’t sell anything to make this all happen to him, did you?
eternity is a long time!!!! :)
Because what’s happened to him is beyond all worldly logic.
yeah, he only pulls down 18 percent and loses to Trump or Cruz.
but 2? no clapping? mommy on the road? pictures of him picking his nose sent out by trump. Insulted and torn apart by the man he hates MOST at this moment, Donald.
So focused on him he asked for one to one debate.
How does one move on from this utterly morally and completely personally devastating loss?

The article forgot JEB!s Tippy-Toes moment.You're right, a moment providing clear evidence of a neurosis, and probably a psychosis. Sheesh! I'm waiting for "Please clap while I stand on my tippy-toes."

He should take a page from Al Gore. Forget running for office, just pick one issue he cares about (NOT AMNESTY, JEB) and use his influence in that area.

“Mommie on the Road” makes him a “Mommy’s Boy.”
Right now he’s assured of getting a 100% of the

2015-11-05 : Free Republic's Patton@Bastogne's Bold Political Predictions
(1) Yeb Bush will make a good political campaign decision "intelligently" REFUSE to exit the 2016 GOP Presidential Race until he is DEFEATED in the 2016 March 15 Florida Primary. Yeb Bush's political "ace in the hole" is the hopelessly corrupt Florida Republican Party ... the ones who redistricted the great Allen West out-of-office.
(2) Meanwhile ... Dr. Ben Carson will be polling "single digits" by Christmas 2015 ... at which point he'll endorse (suprise, surprise) Yeb Bush ...
(3) Marco "Amnesty" Rubio (lavishly funded by Yeb Bush's former donors) ... will place FOURTH in Iowa (abandoned by the Tea Party Evangelical Christians for being a greedy bad-faced liar) and FOURTH in the Florida Primary (in a "blood-sport" death-match with Yeb Bush)
4) Ted Cruz SHOCKS the "Washington Establishment Cartel" with a three-percent Florida victory over Donald Trump ...
===================================
Tonight (Thursday, 2015-11-05) it was revealed that Dr. Ben Carson supports Transgendered Bathrooms (political suicide for his Evangelical Christian base) ...
... and Dr. Ben Carson has "lied" about the names of guys he supposedly beat-up in high school
... which, when combined with the "ridiculous" Pyramid Theory statements, is beginning to make Herman Cain (2012) and John Edwards (2008) look like Einstein and Gen. George Patton Jr.
===================================
"Anything" can happen in a "New York Minute" in American politics.
Just ask Machiavelli, Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Vince Foster, Gary Hart, Buddy Holly, U.S. Senators Hale Boggs, Ted Stevens, and Paul Wellstone, Herman Cain ...
and Napoleon at Waterloo (who was winning the battle, and Wellington admitting DEFEAT, as late as 5:00 PM in the afternoon).
===================================
Ninety-eight (98) GOP Convention delegates are at stake in Florida's "mas mucho rigged" state Presidential Primary (Winner take All).
That makes it more convenient for Yeb's GOPe Chamber of Commerce Political Whores (aka the Florida Republican Party) to hand Yeb 98 convention delegates on a silver platter.
Yeb Bush has absolutely NOTHING to lose by staying in the presidential race (anything can happen).
Is it a longshot ? Absolutely.
Has Karl Rove already planned for this scenario ? Absolutely.
Will Dr. Ben Carson endorse Yeb Bush when the good doctor is "finished" ? Absolutely.
As a romantic interest once told me ... "It's All About the Money" ... perfectly applicable to Yeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Karl Rove.
