LOL!

I love it!

Time to go home Jeb and do all those things you had rather be doing!

As much as we all got a huge chuckle out of the original picture going around, we should be fair and honest about this stuff as much as we possibly can.

However, his campaign says that photo from Gold’s tweet was taken during the soundcheck for the undercard debate, which preceded the main debate by two hours. More than 46 people attended the debate watch party, Bush’s South Florida director Kevin Marino Cabrera said.

But, hey we can still get a good laugh over it, they supplied updated photos:





Not quite as bad as the original photo, but still pretty pathetic...

I had said before, that I didn't think that Jeb was going to be able to take his home state of Florida.  Pictures are worth a thousand words and winning the Florida primary will be important this election.  Florida's state Republican Party has changed its primary election rules, moving to a winner-take-all system which will swing 99 delegate votes to the top vote-getter in 2016.  I honestly don't think Rubio will get it either and I think Florida will go to either Trump or Cruz.

I'm not sure those pictures mean anything. I'm not a Jeb supporter but, so what?

To me; it means that none of his supporters were excited enough to gather around to watch Jeb's debate performance.  In other words, his supporters are far and few between.  In recent polls; they show his national support around 3%.  Not exactly what the GOPe and the DEMS had hoped for and certainly not what the Bush dynasty was hoping for.

There were, literally, more candidates on stage for Tuesday night’s Republican debate than there were at a Jeb Bush debate watching “party” in Miami.

Jeb Bush tried stealing a page from Mr. Trump’s playbook by insulting his way to his party’s nomination. “He is a chaos candidate,” Jeb said of Mr. Trump.
