Jeb Bush is already laying the groundwork for a brutal South Carolina campaign against establishment rivals John Kasich and Marco Rubio. In an internal memo circulated late Tuesday evening, the campaign distributed talking points to top campaign aides and surrogates, highlighting lines of attack they plan to take against both candidates.

I need a bigger bucket of popcorn. He is a modern day Nero. Does not like the GOP rejecting him so he going to burn the whole city down.

[C210N]

Let me guess... he’s gonna somehow rise above them, one, maybe even two inches above them (via tippy toes).

Just those 2? What about Cruz?

$30 Million in ads bought him a scorched ass................................

re: "What about Cruz?" (ie: Jeb)

Look at Cruz's resume. It doesn't answer your question, but it sure can make one wonder.

[smokingfrog]

good - let him waste his time and money

[TomGuy]

So, his new slogan will be?

“Jeb will scorch ‘em!”

[TomGuy]

With his seeming current luck, poor Jeb would probably burn his own thumb flicking his Bic when he tries to light the fire.

[Thunder90]

Good.

[Red Badger]

The strategy is flawed. You don’t attack #2, #3.........you attack #1,that’s the objective.................

Amusing - the circular firing squad of conservative Republicans in previous primaries has apparently been adopted by the eGOP flunkies this year.

This is an excellent strategy! When Jeb knocks out Kasich and Rubio, it’ll be down to just Jeb, Cruz, and Trump. We all know just how brightly Jeb will shine in contrast to those two. I hope Kasich and Rubio have similar plans.

Jeb: “If you have no other choice, it’s time to settle for Jeb!”

[TomGuy]

Jeb: ‘I’ll flick by Bic! Ouch! Mommieeeeeeeeee! I burned my thumb!’

[Truthsearcher]

He’s trying to consolidate the establishment lane behind him.

[Farmer Dean]

Looks like he’s turned into a vindictive little spud.I didn’t see that coming.

[dainbramaged]

Another spoiled, entitled brat who has never heard the word “NO”. I mean he brought his mommy to one interview, for cripes sake.
