He's pinin' for the fjords!

Jeb Bush's brother, the former president, his sister-in-law, the former first lady, his mother, his sister, another brother, and of course his wife and children have come to South Carolina, where George W. Bush's political fortunes were made, in hopes of vaulting Jeb back into the Republican presidential race. But with poll after poll showing Bush hovering around 10 percent — fighting with John Kasich for fourth place — that looks less and less likely every hour.
So it wasn't surprising that there was a big media turnout at Bush's townhall here in Columbia Thursday. Yes, there's plenty of press to go around now; South Carolina is teeming with reporters. But there is also a Jeb death watch underway. That's especially true after Bush held a downer of a townhall on Wednesday in Summerville in which some audience members bemoaned the condition of his campaign and wanted to know why he can't raise his game against Donald Trump.
"It's all been decided, apparently," Bush said in frustration. "The pundits have already figured it out. We don't have to go vote. I should stop campaigning maybe."
Bush has mentioned that he knows obituaries are being written for his campaign. I talked to one reporter who noted wryly that when Bush made such an obituary comment, at that precise moment, he, the reporter, was in fact working on Bush's campaign obituary.
Bush is asked about it everywhere he goes. Is his campaign running out of money? How high does he have to finish on Saturday to stay in the race? When will he drop out?
"We've been rising in the polls, I feel good about where we are, and I'm going to work hard," Bush told reporters as he emerged from his Jeb! campaign bus at the Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia.

He’s surging!
It’s Jebmentum!
The Bushes are good people who love America (in stark contrast to Obama and the rest of the Democrats). It’s a shame they weren’t wiser.
Hang in there Yeb!, at least until after Florida.
If they are such good people, how do you explain refusing to enforce the borders and laws?
He's pinin' for the fjords!
The Bushes worked to destroy what Reagan started, they are not nor ever have been conservatives.
Yep, we need Jeb, Kasich, & Carson out by the 24th.
It’s the end of a dynasty at least for this generation
That last million out of the $120 million fund blown by the Jebster should at least pay for a decent wake
Keeper
The fact that they are still supporting Jeb proves 2 things...
1...family is first for THEM
2...they were not as conservative or smart as some of us thought
Good riddance
Bush one raised taxes and broke his pledge not to do so during the 1990 election campaign. The Democrats and media started a “deficit reduction” mantra and he bought right in, sending the Republican candidates into freefall.
The Bushes always sabotage their own side and people.
“The Bushes are good people who love America (in stark contrast to Obama and the rest of the Democrats). It’s a shame they weren’t wiser.”
I agree with your statement 100%. The Bushes represent just what has happened to the American people as a whole. Sure, they’re nice, politically correct, all embracing, go along to get along Americans who turned their heads from evil in order to maintain the status quo and look where we are. Americans are so intent on keeping their little comforts and government approved goodies that they don’t and won’t stand for anything that’s going to upset the rotten apple cart.
I’d make the usual “BU-BYE SUMBITCH,” but I actually have some respect for his mom.
LOL!
The GOPe is passing out the helium tents all around
But wait!
There’s the little Cuban robot
“The Bushes are good people who love America (in stark contrast to Obama and the rest of the Democrats). It’s a shame they weren’t wiser.”, BULLSH!T! The Bushes have been out for NO ONE but the BUSHES EVER!
