he 'parlayed his time in office' into 10s of millions of dollars of personal loot. Ie, he was your usual Republican grifter. So no, he gets no freaking sympathy from me, he's still living better than 99.9999% of Americans, and I respect your average garbageman a hundred times more than I respect him. They actually do hard, real work, and they also wash the slime off when they're done with work, they don't cherish it.

they have a special duty and entitlement to high "public service" because they are born into wealthy families. You know, like Jeb wants to shame unwed pregnant teenagers. I'd feel sorry for him when it drove him to suicide.

As for people who tamper with the vote, like the rest of them, I believe he should still be in prison. Sentence proportional to the crime, and that was huge.

a grown up to be so controlled by their parents, but that's what I think happened.

His reasons for not standing up to his own inclinations (not to run) will make an interesting study

for generations! 😊

😄

I had the feeling from the start that his heart wasn't really in this run. He was doing it because it was expected of him.

I feel sorry for someone who's subjected to, and gives in to, that kind of pressure.

He would have been an easier opponent to take down in GE (lol: low energy), and his was the only voice on that side that didn't sound like forks on a chalkboards.... Also, I'll miss him asking for applause. Alas 2000....

of leisure and financial comfort. If he works at all, it will be as a highly-paid consultant. He will never worry over an electric bill or the price of groceries, neither will his children or grandchildren. He is, after all, a Bush.

Jeb is going to be just fine.

Upon arriving, Jeb will be forced to train in a fighting school until "W" is convinced that he can take a punch without crying for his mommy. Then, he will be given only one family opportunity -- boss the Bush ranch in Paraguay and take no crap from anyone. He will do OK, unless Trump buys a ranch on his fence line.

....I lived under that asshole for 8 years as governor and he was a mean, nasty, corrupt son of a bitch and I'm glad the karma finally caught up to him.

So yesterday was a great day.

doing the same to the whole cabal whose sole purpose it do destroy our country.

...wish he'd stayed longer and lost more primaries.

He'd wealthy, healthy, married, and has a healthy family. His loss was to his ego; it was not a death or injury or bankruptcy.

I make it a point to not feel bad for rich people that have everything going for them when they have a setback.

He can afford all the therapy, vacation, or distraction that he needs.

He's probably celebrating with a champagne breakfast.

I'm pretty sure that just like brother George, he never wanted to be president and had to be talked into it. I'm sure he knew Dick Cheney was running the show and his brother was taking the hit. Would have been same with him.

An entitled legacy brat falls flat on his face. It should happen more often.

I mean, ouch. He always has that perplexed, bewildered, vacuous look. Who would have thought Dubya was the smart one?

Actually I did a happy dance when I heard the news.

Forget Bush vs Gore in Florida....I find his loss satisfying.

Can't stand the Bush cartel.

and the rest of the population if we don't wake up and vote. I can't imagine one of these America hating republicans winning. I get real anxiety thinking about it.

Fuck him and all the stupid assholes who vote for people like him.

Jeb was no bargain, but look what we're left with over there.

that he wasn't humiliated more.

He was the most lack-luster sorry excuse for a candidate ever. I am kind of disappointed because I predicted he would be the nominee, with Kasich as VP. We might still see Kasich running for VP though. I am a terrible predictor! LOL

I am sorry that the country has to view more of the trump sideshow for months on end.

Feel sorry for Ted Cruz' terrified children.

Screw him and his whole evil family!

rich, he lies about Obamas record, and his brother is a war criminal.

not at all.

And never will I feel an ounce of sorrow for any of that clan, unless it be one who breaks and confesses their sins. Then, I would feel sorry for THAT ONE, and none of the others.

But I'll bet he is very happy after dropping out. As pointed out up thread, his mom and dad probably
pushed it on him. His heart was plainly never in it.
Maybe this will finally mark an end to the stink of the Bush family in politics.
Now, about that other wanna-be political dynasty.....

along with Terry Schiavo and her family, and all the other people in Florida who suffered under the rule of John Ellis Bush.

Does that count?

He shares the Iraq body count IMO. If all the votes had been honestly counted in Florida, Dubya would have gone home to Texas.

All I have to say to him is "Bye Felicia."

I guess if I lived in Florida from 1999-2007 I might, but I don't equate Jeb to his brother or father. Nor was ever worried he could win. In fact, I wanted him to get the nomination so the GOP could lose.

The remaining candidates in the fields do concern me, with the level of concern increasing based on electability.

But beyond that, fuck him.

Naw, I don't, hope he just fades into the background, never to be seen or heard from again.

I don't miss him one bit. At least the Bush's are finally out this time around. You'll see him again in 4.

Couldn't find my name.

n/t

I hope we never see anyone from that lying, war mongering, nose picking, loogie spitting, quasi-illiterate, white trash rich folk family anywhere near the White House again.

like all those sons of bushes.

He didn't ask to be born into such a screwed up family. I can't imagine what growing up with an asshat brother like George would be like. George called one of his most loyal allies Turd Blossom and didn't see anything wrong with trying to give Angela Merkel a backrub in public. He wasn't exactly good with how to conduct himself and that was after he stopped being a drug addict.

That said, Jeb had all the advantages in the world to rise above his circumstances and didn't, which is his own damn fault.

He got a terrific education and could have done whatever he wanted with his life.

The guy is a rotten bastard. Just like the rest of the Bush family.

Jeb! would have been a stronger general election candidate and would have gotten enough Latino votes to be viable

What happened?

....drove the country into a ditch like a drunken frat boy.

I only wish he had been humiliated even more.

A a Florida resident, I am sorry I did not do more for the opposition.

Psych!

.... And LMAO.

but it was really something to see the way Trump instantly made him 'surplus to requirements' as they say in the UK.

yes INDEED
