Establishment Declares Jeb Bush Is Making a Comeback After He Spent $36 Million for 4th Place

Can you believe this?

One longtime Rubio supporter who backs Bush faulted Rubio’s campaign for the slip-up. He said they drove Rubio too hard and too long and he didn’t have enough sleep. In the days before New Hampshire primary, Rubio struggled to find his footing coming off as subdued and tired during some of his final campaign stops. Rubio also repeated himself, again, this time about family values in his last campaign rally in Nashua, N.H., before the primary.

“It was the pace. He couldn’t keep up,” the source said. “And then they doubled-down on it – tripled and quadrupled down on it afterward. That was surreal.”

But, the source added: “Jeb’s back, baby!”'

In what universe does a fourth place finish mean you're "back?" Jeb originally tried to win in New Hampshire or at least to compete for the top spots. And that's not so strange: New Hampshire is Jeb territory: it's a moderate and establishment-friendly state.

But Jeb didn't perform well at all. He finished fourth, behind a solid conservative like Ted Cruz, and far, far behind establishment-puppet John Kasich. Yes, he beat Marco Rubio, but that isn't a sign of Jeb's strength, but of Marco's weakness; he simply blew himself up during Saturday's debate.

What's more, Jeb spent more for his fourth place finish than the rest of the top 5 combined...

The Cheap Labor Express still expects to get their amnesty candidate

Jeb is pure, unfiltered, unhindered, illegal immigration.

[CPT Clay]

Wonder how much Jebito has left?

[nickcarraway]

Well, he is making a comeback, since he was doing much worse. He was almost in 3rd place! Going to mildly humiliating from completely pathetic is a step up. But it won’t get you much.

Their panic is showing.

[Blue Turtle]

A comeback? He was never here in the first place.

Its like a gun buy back...

[A Conservative Thinker]

Jeb Bush is a symbol for everything wrong in our political system today; no one wants a political dynasty with yet another Bush in the White House, it is obscene that Establishment donors have spent millions of dollars on a candidate that was desperate enough to bring out his 90 year old mother and has to beg for an applause, and despite his $36 million flop in New Hampshire he is moving on to South Carolina with absolutely no support among voters. I hope the people of South Carolina deal send Jeb Bush home with Marco Ruboto

Not a good ROI ratio (showing return on investment).
Is his campaign selling Put Margin Futures?

Good thing the RNC doesn’t have Super-Delegates like the DNC or Yeb would have the most delegates, just like Hillary.

[Catsrus]

I think they do have super delegates - 278 - maybe I’m wrong, but heard this somewhere.

[DaveA37]

“Jeb is pure, unfiltered, unhindered, illegal immigration.’......

In addition to being an idiot.

[TexasCajun]

You are correct:

Can GOP 'superdelegates' stop Trump?

[MasterGunner01]

There sure are a lot of rich, stupid establishment RINOs that keep throwing money at this loser, Jeb Bush. Both Trump and Crus spent very little in NH (relatively speaking) and Jeb Bush outspent both of them combined. If throwing money is the solution, why didn't Jeb win first place? Duh.
