Edit (one more thought): This is what keeps me up at night though... who are the people that are bankrolling him? They must not be very intelligent, and the only conclusion I can make is that they're people who inherited their money or simply attach little value to it. If I was going to flush my money down the toilet, I would at least buy some neato fireworks and put on a spectacular display for my friends and neighbors.
Yeah,I hear you!The people who fall into money and blow it on booze,dope,fast cars,and strippers are making a better return on their investment then the Jeb backers are!
I like him more for this. That was an authentic moment right there.
It didn't make me like him more as I cringe that we may not be able to stop a dynasty on both sides to continue. Having said that, IMO, it appeared there were elements leading up to that moment that were not captured, but you got enough to feel it was a quite natural thing for him to say at that time. IOW, it didn't give off the feeling of being awkward. The audience didn't make you feel they were uncomfortable.
He needs to bow out. If Trump accomplishes nothing else in this election, he can always take credit for destroying any chance Jeb Bush had of winning. It was sad, and telling, to see how much better Bush did in the debate that Trump ditched. But just like I don't want a president that is scared to face a reporter, I don't want a president that can be so intimidated by another candidate. In both cases, I am concerned it is indicative of what would happen when they had to face nefarious world leaders.
Jeb would constantly have his brother and father on speed dial. Otherwise he would completely crumble under the pressure.
And today, Jeb received support from his 90 year old mother (God Bless Her Soul), Barbara Bush.
Unfortunately, this move reminds me of the proverbial "little child boy" who runs to his mother's skirt crying "Mommy," when he gets himself in trouble.
Old people vote more than young 20-something yr olds. You don't think Ms Bush has the ability to sway a few oldtimers to consider her son? I recall that she didn't want another family member running and was really against Jeb throwing his hat in the ring. I guess she offered to help -
Read George Bush's book by Meacham. Not sure if Sr needs to be made to be a villain as he has been. Great American, IMO.
I have nothing against Jeb, but this is just not his election cycle. This election cycle, so far, has been dominated by bombastic personalities and populism (in both parties). In this environment, Jeb simply does not fair well. I'm starting to think that 2012 would have been a better year for him to jump in.

I think he waits until after SC to make his decision. Premature if he does otherwise.

It may be premature, but he is only helping Donald Trump by not doing so (and I highly doubt that he wants to assist Trump in any way, shape, or form).
