Yet there are signs Mr. Bush may still have some work to do to finish in the top tier here. Speaking to a crowd at the Hanover Inn near the Vermont border during his final stop of the day, Mr. Bush finished a fiery riff about protecting the country as commander in chief — “I won’t be out here blowharding, talking a big game without backing it up,” he said — and was met with total silence.

“Please clap,” he said, sounding defeated.

The crowd laughed — and then, finally, clapped.

"It isn't suppose to be this way! I should be the frontrunner!"

 

[Couleurs]

Please be excited

 

[beato_angelico]

Please be excited

Edit - beaten. Please understand.

 

[Makai]

Is there video?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Sad thing his, he has lots of money. Even with low polling he can last awhile.

He should just give up.

 

[Via Purifico]

Please be excited

I can see a meme brewing

This reminds me of that time the crowd was cheering for Paul Ryan and Romney tried to start a chant of his name
How embarrassing, he should just drop out and go for being Rubio's running mate

Not before he sinks Rubio.

[ultratruman]

honestly, I kinda really like Jeb's weird humour.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Please respond

 

[Gordon Shumway]

lol..the poor dear.

 

[Futureman]

People generally don't like you Jeb. Yea a lot of that has to do with your brother, but please just face the facts. Or just keep wasting people's money election after election.

[The Albatross]

honestly, I kinda really like Jeb's weird humour.

I do too. But then again, I always had a fondness for GWB's bizarre folksisms. Politics and policy aside.

 

[onadesertedisland]

The Bush hegemony dies here?

 

[Veelk]

It's really funny how his frustration is so apparent. I'd have expected him to put on a happy face atleast for the public, but no, he's pretty open about how he's pissed he doesn't have people backing him up.

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

He won the Nintendo vote.

 

[Veritigo_X]

The Bush hegemony dies here?

He's not going down alone, he's gonna drag Marco down with him.

 

[gaugebozo]

 

[ultratruman]

Yep. Folksy, but just weird enough to be interesting.

 

[Eidan]

Oh come on. There has to be video of this.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Cringe myself to sleep, or...

You aren't allowed to have a running mate from the same state. Jeb would need to change his state of residency.

 

[jmdajr]

Iwata would be proud.

God bless his soul!

 

[PeskyToaster]

At least Jeb seems to have some humor and self-awareness. His brother was actually a pretty funny dude as well. Maybe not presidential material but I wouldn't mind hanging out with them.

If the whole president thing doesn't pan out Jeb you can crash at my place.

 

[Lemonz]

 

[345triangle]

honestly, I kinda really like Jeb's weird humour.

me too. i think it's endearing, even though i disagree with him on basically everything ever. though really, a candidate that shares my sense of humour failing to get widespread support probably shouldn't be a surprise.

this was a great email to gawker under pressure over reports he kept wearing the same sweater.

 

[Macadinho94]

I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard.

 

[TyrantII]

This is getting embarrassing.

 

[jmdajr]

Trump has done irreparable damage to Jeb. Probably one of the least worst candidates, but just no mojo at all.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Why hasn't he brought out his brother yet? Isn't there a lot of love for him in the GOP base?

At this point he has nothing to lose doing that.

 

[onadesertedisland]

I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard.

Poor isn't word I would associate with the Bush family. Perhaps robber baron oligarchs.

 

[Interfectum]

Please tell me there is a video. Please!

 

[teruterubozu]

"Please Clap" is actually a schtick that he uses often:

11/11/15 - Des Moines Register: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...sh-makes-electability-argument-iowa/75451888/

In Atlantic, Bush hit a few applause lines, including one where a single woman began to clap and Bush implored the rest of the audience, “Please, clap!”

so weird

 

[Walter White Walker]

I generally don't like watching cringe worthy stuff but please tell me there's a video of this.

You aren't allowed to have a running mate from the same state. Jeb would need to change his state of residency.

You can't?
Any history as to why this is a rule?

 

[rtcn63]

Jeb should know that real Americans only clap after eating. Should've served them dinner.

 

[numble]

You can't?
Any history as to why this is a rule?

12th Amendment. This is part of the old concerns from the past where they are afraid of any 1 state having too much power (why we also have the Senate and Electoral College).

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Jeb should know that real Americans only clap after eating. Should've served them dinner.

Or showed them an Avengers movie

 

[Interfectum]

Or showed them an Avengers movie

You should see what Americans do if they finish dinner at the same time the credits roll on their favorite movie. Crazy shit.

 

[Johndoey]

"I was the chosen one!"

"It was me!"

ME!

 

[djplaeskool]

One to the two
the two to the three
c'mon New Hampshire republicans
just clap for me

 

[Gnome Scat]

 

[StMeph]

Please clap

Please be excited

Please understand

Please respond

Perfection.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Does he think everyone just ate at a restaurant or something?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Perfection.

Yup. Another one for the books fellas.

 

[HazySaiyan]
