Good riddance. He was pretty much a psycho and closet Republican anyway.

They are saying he will run as an independent. I don't think he has enough recognition to be significant there.

Speaking of which... have you ever seen Herman Cain and Ben Carson in the same room together?

Speaking of Carson. Is there something wrong with him? He can barely string together a sentence if it's not part of his "speech". Has he had a stroke?

His answer, "GWB kept us safe." is a complete nightmare. Now there's a huge debate about whether W actually did keep us safe ... which is not helping Jeb at all. The correct answer is, "Trump is entitled to his opinion, I happen to disagree. However, GWB isn't running for president, I am, and Donald Trump is obviously trying to provoke me."
Coming into this primary season, I was predisposed to like Jeb, based on what little info I had on him, but I must say, his performance in these debates and in the media has made me think very poorly of him. Which now makes me worry that there isn't even a tolerable Republican candidate. I guess Christie and Paul are the two most 'competent', but they seem destined for doom.

I didn't mind this situation at all as long as Hillary was shown as winning against them, but OMG ... I can't quite get my head around President Cruz, President Fiorina .... I am going to bite my tongue and say, I think I'd rather have Trump than any of the others, and he's a f**cking homicidal maniac.

When Obama came to power, there was much talk of prosecuting many in the Bush administration over 9/11 and Iraq, but he took the high road and put it all behind him. Why then do the republicans get away with playing such childish games with Hilary over Benghazi ... it really pisses me off.

I've noticed that too; I know he's meant to be a brain surgeon, literally, so he 'must' be intelligent, but ... to listen to him, casually, he comes across as somewhat 'mentally challenged' (not sure what the current politically correct term is ...).

Yes, his name recognition is really starting to count against him. He doesn't seem to be able to respond and stick up for his brother.

Granted he is difficult to listen to...but I would describe him more of a thoughtful speaker. A bit like Obama with less ummmms.

I have known plenty of doctors/engineers/scientists who have no common sense and zero idea of how the world works. Not all (of course) but enough to tell me that being a neurosurgeon doesn't exclude you from being completely mental in other ways. Doctors are notorious for being horrible businessmen.

Yes, Jeb seriously needs to get his shit together or we're going to have Trump, or somebody just as bad, as the Republican nominee. I also agree, Trump is better than most of the field ... horrible thought. :blink:
