“Mommy Approved”, you really cannot get any sad-lower than that.
Please clap
That moment will live on in history as the saddest in any campaign
I’m just getting tired of rehashing the End of Jeb!
Like Trump says, “when they’re gone, they’re gone. Bye bye”.
Begging people to clap is as bad as you can get.
You got. That’s number 1. Actually it is number 2, 3, and 4 too.
“I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do.”
‘Please send the money to my wife. She’s a little short.’
The walker had a Jeb! bumper sticker on it.
The photo looked like it had been taken through the window of a diner, and it was unposed and unscripted.
It made my heart ache. Literally.
No Mex dumpling 1st ladies plz
Please post the "guaca bowle" photo!
You know how much I love that one!
Talk about SAD. Pimping the campaign by selling dollar store guacamole bowls for $75.
I have no idea why that strikes me as funny. It must be the utter out-of-touch absurdity of the thing.
Jeb could have never won. The American people will never forgive the Bush family for its unholy involvement with the Saudis, not holding the Saudis accountable for 9/11, silly pronouncements about Islam being the religion of peace and for the disastrous invasion of Iraq. That resulted in three thousand dead young Americans, tens of thousands more physically and psychologically maimed, trillions of dollars squandered and the subsequent election of the vile Obama. It wasn’t Trump that destroyed Jeb, it was the weight of the Bush legacy.
They could have purchased an opinion from me for one mil, and I would have sincerely told them what was what, and they could have saved 99 mil....but noooo,
Every good sitcom needs a “goofball neighbor” role for comedic effect. Think of Norton on the Honeymooners. Jeb played that role in Campaign 2016.
You know I feel badly for Jeb, hear me out before you roast me.
He was better unscripted, on the fly and far more personal candidate and politician than his brother. His CNN town hall made me say out loud, George could never pull this off as well.
He wasn’t as gaffe prone, didn’t come up with more random Bushisms as his brother or his father.
He seemed to take a lot of the things dumped on him publicly, from the internet and likely in person far better than ANY of us could. I truly do mean that part.
Sadly, it was the family name that was hung like a millstone around his neck that did him in. It was the face palm notion from the party and the country of yet another Bush.
Frankly, he may have been very good at the job. Would he ever have been my primary candidate? No. Would I have voted for him in November? Unfortunately after Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, Romney... ugh, glad I don’t have to admit that I would. But....
I never thought his heart was in this race. I never got a sense of excitement from him, a sense of passion or any kind of sincerity. It was like a bunch of people came to him, threw $150 mil in some bank somewhere and said “Hey, you wanna be President?” Ummm, okay, I don’t have anything else to do after 8 years of not being governor.
Truly, I think I could sit and have a beer, or in his case... well... a case (I mean he does have the time.) with him and have a good time doing so.
However it just seemed that no one told the dynasty that to the primary voters “NO MEANS NO!” when it comes to voting for another Bush.
It’s sad really but I cry only for the man, not the party and not the country.
It drives me nuts to think this clown, and many like him, are mega- millionaires that are running the country.
If his last name wasn't "Bush" he'd be an unknown middle manager somewhere.
But if you're in the "in crowd", you can do no wrong.
Over the course of my working life, I've had the pleasure of working with some of the most competent, hard working, passionate, and brilliant people anywhere.
They are the ones that should be running for high office. But nope, we have fools like the Bush family.
Very sad indeed.
Somebody snagged a hundred million buckadingdongs out of the deal, though. I'm in the wrong business.
There’s something obscene about how we (a) attribute to Jeb Bush the sins of his brother and father; (b) gloat over his personal humiliation and sadness; and (c) join forces with the far-left publication Vox in kicking him when he’s down.
(Co-founder of Vox: Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos.)
It’s so sad, that I’m not going to read this thread. The saddest thing of all is, all that money went to the media filth...and mercenary consultants.
