Bush cuts costs, advisors, salaries

According to this morning's New York Times, the Jeb! has taken a large axe and given his campaign 40 whacks. Long before the first Caucus is due, He'll give it another forty two.

In my 58 years, I have never seen any campaign, GOP or Democratic, that went into bunker mode, had major cuts, and survived to gain a tie, then a lead in the nomination process. Of course, there is a first time for everything, and I still remember her name, but I just do not see Jeb! being the exception to the general rule.

My guess is that tonight's meeting with Daddums, Teh W, and even Babs, means that the lights are going out on Bush 3.0 very soon.

I suspect Babs and Daddy see what a disaster his campaign is, and have to save their good name (cough cough) for the next degeneration's pol.

I have never seen a presidential campaign come back after it has to start cutting
back on people and $.

But Jeb still owes the world something for his help in cheating to make w
President in 2000.

Perhaps you should forgo the presidential aspirations and pursue ceramics.
