Dead on Arrival: Jeb! is no more. There is only Jeb.

[galdur]

You probably remember Jeb Bush. He's the guy whose dad and brother were both president, and who definitely will never be president himself. When Jeb announced his presidency he got made fun of a whole bunch for his campaign's logo. It looks like this:



Can you feel the excitement?! No? Well neither could anyone else. Despite having a famous name, and the party's machinery behind him, and a large number of big money donors, Jeb's campaign has never really left the starting gate in terms of polling. Bush's numbers hover in the mid-single digits while Donald Trump's are comfortably in the high thirties or low forties. So it should come as no surprise that the campaign no longer seems as enthusiastic as the "Jeb!" logo would indicate. In fact, according to Mother Jones enthusiasm for the logo itself has disappeared too.



"As is par for the course, the US Patent and Trademark Office accepted the submission and requested additional information before it would grant the trademark. But according to that office, on November 9 Bush's application was officially abandoned. Technically, Bush has until January 9 to restart the process, but for now the name is not trademarked and open for anyone else to try to grab.

According to the original application, Bush wanted the name reserved for use on leather key chains, stadium cushions, stemware, stuffed toys, hair bands, and other cool stuff. In April, the USPTO asked BHAG to provide, within six months, written consent from Bush himself to use his name. Bush never responded. So the USPTO issued an abandonment notice regarding the trademark request."

So, I guess right now the campaign is less in "Jeb!" mode and more in "Jeb?" mode.

I think you are right, Jeb will never become US President!
In fact, 2 US presidents from one family is really enough, so now is time for presidents from some other US families, not dynasties liker Bush or Clinton.
Maybe, now is time for Trump dynasty

You got that right, two is most definitely enough and of course in hindsight; two too many. I doubt that more of that crap can ever be scammed on America and the world again.

[saddampbuh]

why does he bother? its throwing money down the drain at this point

[Gimpeline]

I still think he will be the candidate. Its not like its the first time they have fixed an election

We will see.

Jeb Bush and the Bush family are exactly what politically astute people have always known about them, to wit they are rock solid leftists on domestic politics.

[xht]

I guess jeb must be stupid. The voters are trying to tell him he is not wanted as president.... Can he not see the writing on the wall... This just goes to show you that if he can not see something as easy as the voters not wanting another established politician named BUSH in the white house...

What about a Democrat campaign with Hillary as the POTUS candidate and Jeb Bush as the vice-president nominee? As far as policies and ideology is concerned, Jeb Bush looks more of a Democrat than a Republican. If he and Hillary presents a joint list, then the RINOs will vote for them, in addition to the ghetto vote bank of Hillary, and they will win comfortably.

Interesting idea.
So, you want to help this 2 dinosaurs, Clinton and Bush families, 2 modern political dynasties, to survive and continue to rule America in next 4 or 8 years.
After them, I guess Chelsea Clinton should continue and replace her mother in office?
I don't think this is something what America really needs now.

Sad Clown: Desperate Jeb! Demands One-on-One Throwdown with The Donald

Poor former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

The poorly performing former GOP frontrunner is now so desperate he’s asking for a one-on-one debate with actual Republican frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump.

“Donald, I’ll take you on one-on-one in a debate, any time, any place,” Bush said of Trump at the Forum Club in Palm Beach, Florida. “You name it and I’ll do it.”

Bush, who’s lagging down in the polls and has been for months, has been replaced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
—his protege—and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as the new frontrunners in the establishment lane for the GOP nomination. Trump, meanwhile, has dominated polling GOP-wide for more than five months, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
—who’s leading in the conservative lane for the GOP nomination—is beating not just Bush but Rubio and Christie as well in most polling.

Bush has made efforts to attack Trump a centerpiece of his campaign as of late, using the most recent debate in Las Vegas, Nevada—hosted by CNN, and moderated by Wolf Blitzer—to swipe at Trump, calling the billionaire a “chaos candidate.”

Trump, in response–in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in the spin room post debate at the Venetian Resort and Casino there–laughed it off and said if he were doing as badly as Bush is doing, he’d be making the same desperate lunges.

“I think he did the right thing,” Trump told Breitbart News. “He’s getting clobbered in the polls. He’s trying to save his campaign. I think he did the right thing. And I would have done the exact same thing.”

Bush is one part extreme left politician and one part complete ignoramus. The only reason he is even near the stage is because of his family name, He is a politician who knows nothing else.

Has anyone brought up the "who is the better christian murderous religious fanatic or <insert disinfo/gossip/meaningless rhetoric here> card yet ?

Wake up peoples ! Both our so called democracy and the cryptoFIAT movement are being controlled by the same facist maggots that they are supposed to liberate us from.

Jeb started out as the GOP golden boy, People saw that Jeb had no energy. Jeb tried attacking Donald Trump and was shot down. Jeb tried attacking Marco Rubio on his voting record, and got shot down. People realized, Jeb couldn't handle simple attacks so they left him.

I hate Hillary and Jeb more than anything in this world. And for sure I don't want these two crooks in the office next year. I was hinting at a Donald Trump / Ted Cruz ticket versus Hillary Clinton / Jeb Bush ticket in the POTUS elections of 2016. Let the Americans have a choice. If they want freedom, then they will vote for Trump. Else, they can lick the feet of Hillary.

[Hippie Tech]

When will the people who are being occupied and bombed by your warpig democracy get to vote ?

Your vote constitues a warcrime and a crime against humanity.

[Gimpeline]

I guess many will be disappointed if Trump wins but don't get the nomination, but maybe some at last will wake up.
Votes don't count. The words of the owners of the US count more.
Just wait,  it will be Hillary and Bush, and since the last president was democrat, I am pretty sure the next president will be Bush since people want "change"

[galdur]

Well, a lone gunman could also take care of the Trump problem but hopefully they´ll not get that desperate. However; with psychopaths you never can really be sure or safe. Hope he has very competent and reliable security.
