(6,024 posts)The worst thing about looking at Republican primary polls is that as soon as one clown begins sinking and I rejoice, another clown takes the falling clown's place. Somebody has to be at the top, but no matter who is at the top, I always wonder how anybody could vote for that particular clown. There are too many clowns and no ringmasters.

(24,979 posts)what is better about any one of these characters being on top as compared to any other?
Should there be a reasonable-seeming Republican as their candidate? Would that be better?

(541 posts)or something like that. I think there's going to be a shortage Wednesday night as millions tune in to see J.E.B. ! try to hit back at Trump for his taunts and his "mommy and daddy" comment. Priceless.

(24,979 posts)Jeb! is a new frontman for a very old criminal family that has done more damage to this country and to the world than any other single faction in American politics. He represents the return of recent history's worst war criminals.
Trump is a lone clown whose appeal exposes the party better than any troll campaign could manage. He is the beginning of their end. His undisguised lack of sanity is 1000 times more honest and more reflective of the actual mindset on the right than Bush's simulation of a normal politician.

(33,688 posts)The absolute venality and corruption of the Bush Crime Family goes all the way back to the Civil War, when the first family fortune was made in war profiteering.
The Bush family can best be compared to a flesh-eating virus.

(9,426 posts)Maybe "America's Grandma" Babs will join him on the campaign trail? Dust off the pearls, sharpen her claws, bring along Dubya and push Poppy in a wheelchair. The people who collected $104 Million to finance him for the WH must be really upset at this point. Who claimed that he was the "smart one". Jeb! himself? If so, he was wrong about that too.

I'm actually kind of shocked he's folding so quickly.
Look for "The Donald" to smell the blood in the water and finish him off quickly!

ecstatic
(35,075 posts)W seems to know he fcked up, and he literally went off into the sunset, never to be seen or heard from again (unlike his VP). Jeb lacks the self awareness to know that America will not tolerate another Bush. Mommy and daddy can't fix things for you, Jeb.
He gives speeches for up to $250,000 a pop, including private planes. All held behind closed doors, no press allowed. Laura commands $50,000 a shot. What could either of them talk about that would be worth paying for, I wonder?

freebrew
(1,917 posts)I think he's waiting the others out.
Trump will eventually crash and burn.
Carson will be seen as the idiot he really is.
JEB! has the family fortune behind him, the BFEE owns FOX(sort of), that's how * got in.
He knows it's his turn and if he can wait, the other R's will see he's the one.
He's the only one that can beat Hilary.(???)
He doesn't know that he's not the smart one, mom keeps telling him he IS.
