At 3% in the polls, Jeb Bush in free-fall

"SNIP...............



Washington (CNN)—Jeb Bush has tried everything.

His campaign allies have blanketed the airwaves with almost $30 million in ads. Aiming to shake the "low-energy" tag and prove his toughness, Bush hit Donald Trump as a carnival barker unfit for the serious job of being President. He attacked Sen. Marco Rubio, suggesting his former protégé was a dilettante in a hurry. He cut staff, hired a debate coach, and pledged that "Jeb Can Fix It."

Bush is now polling at 3% -- and dropping.

The 3% figure puts Bush in sixth place in the national GOP race, according to the CNN/ORC poll released Friday morning. It's the latest insult and disappointment for Bush, a son and brother of presidents, the conservative former two-term governor of Florida and the man who started the race as the unquestioned establishment favorite.

1. THink about what this says about the modern GOP. The candidates winning

are the ones who openly express hate and racism and bigotry.

What we have known for a very long time about republicans, is now official.

5. Scary, isn't it?

I wouldn't shovel the dirt on Jebthro just yet. The Bush Crime Family's tentacles run very deep, but ths turd may be beyond rescue at this point.

But it is funny as hell to see this pathetic self-important buffoon flailing around like a fool when he thought his shit-smeared name would guarantee him the nomination.

7. The least experienced are polling best

Clearly being an experienced professional politician is not a mark in favor of a Republican candidate in the party as currently constituted. There seem to be a lot of Republican voters who would hire some schlub off the street to perform highly technical, specialized tasks. That doesn't seem to be a very smart thing to do.

Which is, of course, good news for John McCain.

8. LOL

I will never forget hearing an insider describe him as a spoiled jackass.

If he hadnt been born to such privilege , doubtful he could have amounted to much

13. Mittwit, too.

I wouldn't put it past that crawling shit to bob up again in a month or two if Il Douche maintains these numbers.

14. Filing deadlines for the primaries will be past by then.

He won't get in.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. By March 1,

Bush will be number one.

4. The Bush family has been involved in some pretty crazy stuff over the past 60 years....

I would not be surprised if he suddenly and unexpectantly became #1.

6. Not sure it would be unexpected. Polls suck and very few people answer

so there would be no way to know whether there is something weird or whether this is just another example of the ridiculousness of polls, particularly with 14 candidates.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. To many 1%ers will not let anyone but Bush

claim the Rethug Nomination.

[Mass]

3. Who knows and cares?

Polls at this point are highly useless and just a way for the media to make uninformed comments.

[Kaleva]

9. Don't worry. Jeb will fix this.

[napkinz]

10. woo-hoo!

11. Any further effort is a waste of time and money.

It's good to see a son of a Bush go down in flames.
