As a Hispanican, this really resonates with me. I used to think Jeb Bush was a fat idiot baby, but now, that's changed.

Good time to buy on Jeb! Whether or not you think he's going to eventually win the nomination, he's likely to improve once we get closer to the caucuses and the ad time air bombs are deployed.

This is poor advice if only because it's much better to buy No on all of his opponents than yes on a given candidate. The Yes shares are overweight across the board.

I'm buying Jeb shares because his value will certainly stabilize and return to high values once the election blows over. Investing in Jeb is like investing in gold.

Jeb Bush will be in this thing until at least Super Tuesday. He has too much money behind him, and too many powerful people backing him up. Unless his dad and brother tell him to wrap it up on Sunday of course...

Jeb is going to catch fire any minute now. By which I mean I'm concerned that he may actually cover himself in gasoline and light a match in a misguided ploy for attention in the next debate.

Late to Batmanchat, but since Trump has admitted to being Batman, is Jeb secretly a Trump supporter? :laugh:

Jeb is the scene from Dark Knight where Batman rolls up on the amateur batmans in his super expensive batmobile.

Only in this world the amateur with the shotgun blasted him in the back, stole the car and is taunting him with the "okay i was kidding, get in *drives off a bit* hahaha okay really this time" gag.

It's his PAC that has the money. Jeb is burning through his cash on hand in order to keep his campaign infrastructure up and running. All the advertising in the world won't help you if you can't buy a plane ticket for you and your staffers to get to the next gig.

He's a Bush, I would never count that pit of vipers out.

EDIT2: his not he's...

To be clear, I think Jeb is running a terrible, horrible, awful campaign, and if I were to put money on someone it would be Rubio... But, we can't count Jeb out yet. His family is too powerful, his ties too strong to wealthy donors, he's not Scott Walker.

Billboards are sprouting up all around Wisconsin about how poorly Walker has been treating the state and him shirking his duties to go gallivant around pretending he had a shot at POTUS. I'd be surprised if he survived the next election, but he's already survived three so :geno:

Santorum spent the last month of his doomed 2012 campaign flying back-and-forth between primary states and the hospital where his daughter was near death. It's kind of hard to overstate how much more these people care about their personal ambition than everything else.
