SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- His own mother told him not to run, and on Saturday, Jeb Bush finally caved to her political wisdom, suspending his presidential campaign after another disappointing showing in South Carolina's primary.
"The people of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have spoken and I really respect their decision. So tonight I am suspending my campaign," he said at a post-election party in Columbia.

I’m not a Boosh person in any way, but I do think Jeb showed class and dignity tonight.

I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised.
Hoping Kasich and Carson follow suit.

I would have had more respect for him if he had dropped out back in November.
And a man who refuses to listen to his own mother’s counsel is a fool.
Good that he’s gone.

LOL!
But, I’m guessing you weren’t hoping for Bush to withdraw?

Yep agreed. Jeb Bush is a fine man, just needs to do something else other then politics.

He seems to know how to raise money. The philanthropic/charitable sector might be an excellent use for his talents.

Jeb Bush is a fine man, just needs to do something else other then politics. Born into some other family, Jeb would never have become anything more than a mid-level manager at some no name company.
The guy is a clueless dork with oatmeal for brains, and a distinct lack of any discernible personality.

He seems to know how to raise money. Jeb didn't raise a plugged nickel. His family and their deep pocket connections did.
