Jeb is, literally, the opposite of a big deal.
He was actually expected to be the frontrunner and he had establishment support. The crazies just took the wind out of his sails.

He was doing really good until Trump hit him with "no energy."
I've never seen a campaign fold so hard in one instant since the Howard Dean Scream.

The monkey that little girl is holding in that video has more stage presence than Jeb.

Here's the vine: https://vine.co/v/iJrvE0H1e2h
I don't think it's really just his name. I think it's more that he's the one the establishment was trying to push. He was the inevitable. Conservatives held their noses and voted for Romney after trying their damnedest to find someone else, and that didn't work. It's a much rougher sell to do that shit again. Combine that with the fact that Fox was insanely transparent in trying to metaphorically push Trump down the stairs while lobbing Bush softballs during one of the first debates, and yeah... that's why he failed. Republicans don't want some establishment candidate shoved down their throats right now. Especially not when it's so ridiculously obvious that's what was happening.

Whilst Not in a position of power, Jeb bush is a hilariously sad character

the fact that Trump decimated Jeb's campaign with the Line "Low Energy" and it stuck with him is pretty incredible.
That is not supposed to work for people who aren't immortal, shape-shifting time wizards. Certainly more power than any one Trump should be in control of.

This has been a great implosion for the Bush clan. W has done everlasting damage to his family and his party.

You can have a running mate from the same state. Its just that electoral college reps from that state cant vote for both of them. So if rubio snd jeb ran and win fl then the electors from fl would not be able to vote for both of them.

Poor Jeb, He's the moderate Republican in an era where "Moderate Republicans" no longer exist.

When he said "I think the next president needs to be quieter".... it's like he doesn't realize he's running in the republican primaries.

there is no such thing as a Moderate Republican. The Party is Extreme-Far-Far-Right-Right Wing

He's got these awkward moments at least. Rubio-bot seems better optimized but somebody accidently set his shrill level to maximum output.
Rubio's dickishness delivery and demeanor pushes him just out of the Jeb!-bot realm, but yes, he is also bad.
The creation of Vine has been justified. This is amazing.
The best part is that there's no visible crowd around the car, so it looks like he's literally just throwing the words into the air, as if to convince himself that he does, in fact, like keeping the country safe.

If Jeb is Michael Scott then who is David Brent?

This is getting annoying, my phone rings 500x a day and I'm on the Do Not Call list and these clowns keep rolling through my neighborhood. Everytime I drive down the highway they either have it blocked off because Hillary is around, or there is a caravan of State Troopers escorting one of the useless candidates.
Tuesday just can't come soon enough.

I feel bad for laughing.
I really do. I legit feel sorry for ol' Jeb. He's just so awkward. All of his rivals have been beating up on him this whole time.
Just drop out and live the rest of your life quietly, duder. It's not going to happen.

When Does A Dream Become A Nightmare?
maybe the best thing to come out of his, or any, political campaign.
lol, if Jeb would just bow out now he wouldn't have to endure this stuff. He's probably, no, definitely the most sensible of the Republican candidates, but he just picked the wrong year to run, lol. Just take the hint and plan for the comeback in 2020 while you still have a shred of dignity.

Jeb ain't some innocent little puppy dog getting kicked around by bullies. He's spent more money than anyone on attacking his competition. $20 million on attack ads for Rubio alone. Watching him fail despite all his money and connections has been the funniest part of this election.
