DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY: How Jeb Bush Lost when he should have Won

@Elendil_s_Heir

U.S. senator, if you mean Marco Rubio.

@Really_Not_All_That_Bright

If you are referring to Rubio, he is not (and has never been) governor. He was briefly speaker of the Florida House, and is now a US Senator.

Oops. My bad, was thinking Rubio and Florida. Not enough caffeine.

How to Not Get Ahead in Politics While Really, Really Trying

@BrainGlutton

It wouldn’t be the first, you know, and the dynasty-factor is not hampering HRC’s campaign perceptibly.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is a dynasty.

[BrainGlutton]

Hmmm . . . Jeb veers left (by current Pub standards) and draws big crowds.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Well, that’s a surprise. But even pre-Trump common wisdom told us you couldn’t win the GOP nomination by being reasonable.

Somebody claiming to represent the Bush campaign published an ad for paid seat fillers for a Bush rally. One of the people claiming to have come to the rally as a seat filler stood up in the middle of the rally demanding to be paid.

So a week ago Jeb got heckled. Please keep us abreast of any further development in this fast breaking and fascinating story.

Maybe he’s getting paid by the Jeb! Campaign?

Well I’m sorry but it just seems like such a lame story and despite your source posting it today, it’s from before the Iowa caucus.

Cmon, Rick. You should know better than that.

Warning issued. Please don’t do it again.

I’m really disliking Jeb’s campaign. He’s doing pretty much nothing but attacking the other candidates in the race. Now I don’t mind a negative campaign, and the Bushes have historically been very, very good at destroying their opponents. But I’m not seeing anything else from him. There’s been a lot of talk about Trump being a Democratic plant, but Jeb seems to be more likely, given that he’s trying to destroy every Republican in the hopes that he’ll be the last one standing. I guess he’d rather see Republicans lose than not get the nomination.

See my comment here http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19098719&postcount=612 to your similar post in the Republican nomination thread.

Dumbfuck! doesn’t secure JebBush.com. Guess who bought it?

[jasg]

What is he thinking?

Jeb Bush

[LSLGuy]

That’s so amateur I almost think there had to be sabotage someplace for that to never get bought or to be recently released.

Or maybe some squatter bought it years ago, Trump quietly snagged it a year ago, and it’s been buried until now. And the Jeb! campaign figured whoever was holding it was benign, dead, or whatever.

I’d love to get a traceback on the ownership of that name since Day One.
