Who knew billionaires could be so stupid??

According to the latest Polls Fearina is fading.

She's now in 5th place behind Bush and Rubio that are duking it out for 3rd.

The thing is, Bush has the cash to stay in until the crazies self destruct. Depending on how and why they blow up, Jeb! could be the beneficiary.

I think he'll go broke trying to keep up.

The Republican base wants Trump because they're tired of the arrogant, self aggrandizing ways of Barak Obama.


Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

And the number 2 idiot is still at 23% even though Republican voters have had 7 months to figure him out:

“A lot of people who go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay.” – CNN interview on March 4, 2015

It's not even a sentence.

Can 50% of Republican voters really be this stupid? Yes!!!

They have had memory problems and honesty problems on tape for many years now and still fail to realize it's being taped....

Trailing in Polls, Jeb Bush Cuts Staff and Salaries, Vowing Focus on Early States

Latest polls put him at 5% trailing the three marauders.

Mr. Bush’s low showing in the polls prompted the Fox News host Megyn Kelly to ask him Thursday night what it would take for him to get out of the race.

“I’m not getting out,” Mr. Bush said. “I believe that we have a plan to be very competitive in the early states.”

“I’m campaigning hard, I’m campaigning with heart,” he added.

Here is a good line: It is “an unbelievable position to be twisted into from ‘shock and awe’ to aw, shucks,” this person said.

I am beginning to think that Jeb? is losing credibility and will not recover. Trump could be right, he is weak or made a mistake by going after Trump.

His public demeanor suggests a degree of uncertainty and confusion, sometimes bordering on panic.

I really never had any exposure to him when he was screwing up Florida so I don't know whether he seemed more poised and self-possessed then but these days he really comes across as pretty much of a mess.

He was very arrogant when he was governor of Florida.

A lot like his brother when he was President, only Jeb seemed to be smarter.

I'm really surprised at his lack of competence now.

Maybe it's because he finally ran into someone that's a bigger bully than he is, Trump.

Bullies that suddenly find the tables turned on them often do fold up like a cheap suit.
