Jeb Bush Backs Out

[MarkCO]

So we have a Liberal narcissist, a disliked constitutionalist, a RINO, a whiney doctor, a communist and a socialist left to choose from?

I will say again in his defense that Jeb was an excellent governor during the 3 years I was in Florida. He governed as a moderate conservative (and I don't mean the contemporary definition of moderate which is code for liberal): cut state government spending, streamlined government agencies, made it easy to get a CCW permit.

I understand why people objected to Ruibio participating in the Gang of Eight, I hated that myself. However, it's a really weird election year when Rubio is considered a RINO much less when Bernie and Hillary are even considered serious candidates, much less getting the positive coverage and -- in Bernie's case -- outright enthusiastic support.

Not true. There are a ton of monied interests and party elites that still desperately want Jeb!

Lets keep in mind folks that none of these people who have "dropped out" of the race have actually "dropped out". They've all "Suspended" their campaigns.

If there ends up being a brokered convention with its smoky backroom shenanigans any one of these schmucks can "unsuspend" at a moments notice.

I believe they suspend their campaign versus officially dropping out because they get to continue using campaign finance money...

Apparently a "ton" equals about 1%.
