The full and final rejection of the irrevocable damage the Bush family (especially W) did to this country.
Good riddance.

So long Jebya. After the disaster of GWB I thought the idea of Bush’s brother running for President to be just completely insane.

Howdy, Ho Ho!

The Bush is gone!

So what’s next, Jebbers? If you’re at a loss I’d say you’re more or less qualified to be a volunteer tutor in an ESL program.

Was he sad? Did he cry? Did he finally let it out and bellow a big “Fuck You” to the primary voters? I need the vital information!

teenlaqueefa · February 21, 2016, 1:50am

QUITTER!!!

Oh well, he was low energy anyway.

JEB Bush says - - “ITS ALL OK - I CAN RUN AGAIN NEXT YEAR… RIGHT?”

captaincommonsense · February 21, 2016, 1:53am

Hopefully he tells his supporters to back Rubio and specifically not Drumpf.

fargo116 · February 21, 2016, 1:53am

The Big Money Boys must have told him to go away.

greycardinal · February 21, 2016, 1:54am

Now you can get started on all that really cool stuff you were telling us about…like…ummm…

thx1138 · February 21, 2016, 1:54am

Good riddance. The Bush legacy and surname is one of mistakes, torture and unnecessary death. I hope history remembers them as such so that we don’t repeat the mistake of electing one of them to high office ever again.

azjude · February 21, 2016, 1:55am

OH,what happened jebbers, money dry up?

dave48 · February 21, 2016, 1:55am

Even if all of his support goes to Rubio (which seems unlikely) Rubio still can’t catch Trump. Unless a couple of other candidates drop out before mid March, Trump will continue to win and gain momentum. By the time Kasich and Carson have finally thrown in the towel, it will probably be too late.

fargo116 · February 21, 2016, 1:56am

“My brother kept us safe!!! And…huh?..I have to do what?..That fucker!”

greycardinal · February 21, 2016, 1:56am

The final, brutal indignity. Having to endorse that ungrateful line-jumping johnny-come-lately!

[/quote]You don’t get it, do you? You want the Democrats, either Hillary or Bernie, to be facing Trump or Cruz in the general. They’re both unelectable, and Cruz will be a drag on the down-ticket races (Trump won’t be; he’s easier to discredit). Ruboto, however, could win. (So could John Kasich, but he’s too sane to win the nomination.) Bush-Bush dropping out pretty much means that Ruboto will win the nomination.

Oh, man - even Kasich placed in front of him. Of course, even if he had come in second, he still wouldn’t have gone anywhere after that. SC was supposed to be his firewall.
