Jeb Bush Drops Out of the Republican Race for President

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican Jeb Bush ended his campaign for the presidency Saturday after a disappointing finish in South Carolina, acknowledging his failure to harness the hopes of Republican voters angry at the political establishment.

The former Florida governor and political scion told supporters in Columbia that he’d tried to stay true to what he believes. Still, he was lagging far behind in the primary in South Carolina, where his well-organized campaign was outmatched by insurgent billionaire Donald Trump, and Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

“I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run to unify our country and to advocate conservative solutions,” a visibly emotional Bush said. “The presidency is bigger than any one person. It’s certainly bigger than any one candidate.”

“I firmly believe the American people must entrust this office to someone who understands that whoever holds it is a servant not the master,” Bush said.

[Ariadna Note: He did not say whose servant. Maybe he thinks it should be self evident to all by now. One has to feel sorry for him though: he, whom the family always considered the smart one, never got to be a war criminal like Daddy and Dubya, whom they considered the dumb alky. I hope Dubya doesn’t start bullying him now and teasing him with the nickname Trump gave him, “Low Energy.” Sibling rivalry can be so cruel.]

  1. Not to rub it in, but I was thinking the something similar. Daddy attacked Iraq in 1991. Brother Dubya attacked Iraq in 2003. Jeb! could have made it a trio if he had a go at Iraq. I’m sure they could have come up with a reason.

  2. No one deserves the sharp sarcasm of our Ariad more than the insipid self-entitled Jeb !
    Did you get that “Conservative solutions” boiler plate? He just cannot give it up!
    Like his alcoholic brother W’s “Compassionate Conservative” oxymoron from from a moron.
    Those “solutions” where keeping Terry Schivo on a suffering ventilator and giving Social Security to the Jews on Wall Street.
    Total Financialization of the economy for the one percent.
    They get the chocolates and we get to smell the box lid.
    The poor are to get “opportunity” by being made even poorer!!!!
    Abroad it meant war for his International Jewish Masters ….Iran, Russia, Syria, Venezuela, even China targeted.
    Jeb! What a pencil neck geek you are …blinded by entitlement and never experiencing the real world.
    You’re proof that money cannot buy brains, class or even common sense.
    Daddy belongs in prison with brother ….but you’re going into the prison of your own spoiled mind.
    Looooooser …but you will still get three good meals a day. Cold AC, and Toasty heat.
    New cars, and nice homes …all paid for by years of investment graft, and offshore accounts.
    So dry those crocodile tears ……Jeb ! .
    Now go home to W! Barb, Dad, and fade away please !!!!!
    Thank you, Donald Trump.
