Women should be able to take care of themselves, not get cervical or other reproductive Cancers, not get pregnant when they don’t want to, just completely on their own, right? AM-I-RITE?

But we need 90 billion to fight ISIS, and another 540 billion just to keep our defense structure the best and biggest and badest in the world ! YEAH!

I’m fairly certain during the debate Trump will ask JEB to run and get him a Caramel Macchiato…

The United States spent $2.9 trillion on health care in 2013, or about $9,255 per person, according to a new detailed accounting of the nation’s health care dollars. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2014/12/03/heres-exactly-how-the-united-states-spends-2-9-trillion-on-health-care/

$2,900,000,000/$500,000,000 = 5.8% Women make up at least 51% of the population - why would we spend 5.8% of our healthcare dollars on them?

Asking for a stupid fucker.

Romney wrote-off just the 47%. Jeb is going for the writing-off of 50.4% of American voters: women.

He really has an unhappy genius for saying dumb stuff. It’s worse than the general familial inability to speak English fluently because it’s substantively out of line with most people’s values and shows that more than just not speaking well, he really can’t think on his feet. He’s just not very good at this.

This is too easy. Democrats don’t even need to go to the trouble of a sting video. Just take note every time one of these loons opens their mouth… Thanks, Repubs, for writing our political ads.

Jed! better ask someone to run out and get some big, fluffy shoulder pads to fill out the drooping suit coats and jackets he wear. Or we need to ask Bar to stop scolding him.

Jeb also said American is still a great country. That’s not going to fly with base voters.

Thankfully, he’s not very good at running for president, writing off 50+% of the voting-age eligible population. I think he just lost a million or two million votes with that one comment, should he be the nominee.

I’m so looking forward to Bush version 3 as a presidential candidate against Hillary, Joe, or Bernie.

@MattinPA
Very true. He’s out of practice in the political arena and thinks a campaign is an earn while you learn project. Meanwhile HRC has both B. Clinton and Obama strategists on her team, you know, the guys who each won two terms fair and square. Jed! has the brother and father.

You can list drawbacks for each of those three Democratic candidates, but all of them have at least hoisted aboard the idea that the voters are actual human beings who care about various things. You can’t do like Heb! and just yammer the approved talking points at them and expect they’ll respond robotically.

And it’s perfect because he’s Not Sure about much.

Perhaps Jeb! thinks the money would be better spent on E.D. research. That would really play to the base there.

That’s it. That’s the gaffe–on video. He’s done. Walker gets the nomination–and Walker is a threat.
