Good lord this is awful.

[xavier110]

This is why people hate politicians.

[Mehmentum]

Jeb, much like Walker, seems to stumble right from one gaffe seamlessly into another.

[Maxwell]

The evidence that Jeb isn't ready for prime time keeps on piling up.

This is the best election cycle.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Glad to see ¡Jeb! taking a firm stance against the Yellow Menace.

[Bigby]

I am so glad that I have not supported Jeb at all this year.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

It is ridiculous that Jeb is being scolded for using the words "anchor babies as they are described" rather than asking him for proof that there is this type of fraud he is saying there is and what specifically he thinks the response should be to it.

[Penelope]

This is the best election cycle.

I can't wait until the next GOP debate, when candidates get into heated arguments over how to deal with the 'anchor baby threat' that is destroying this nation.

It begins...

Republicans say something

Democrats scream "THAT'S OFFENSIVE!"

Republicans say "Oh so sorry"

Democrats still hate them

Republicans keep apologizing, hoping one day they'll get a pat on the head for not being racist/sexist/homophobic whatever.

It never stops. Republicans they will never stop calling you this.

Stop giving a fk, stop apologizing, stop being weak.

All those damn illegal Mongolians and Indonesians and their anchor babies.

You haven't heard of a sitting US Senator? Don't think we should take your opinion seriously.

[Frodo]

He needs to fire whoever is advising him.... 

Is he aware that 55% of Asians voted for his father in 1992, and that about 45% voted for his brother in 2004, a higher proportion than even Latinos?

Never heard of a sitting US Senator, but is the biggest fanboy of a guy who's been out of office for almost a decade.

I mean, we're all political people here. We are not the norm among society. I'm willing to bet all of us here know more about politics and the people involved at the highest levels of it than most people do.

I'm sorry I know the name of one of the most successful Governors in recent history but not the name of some U.S. Senator who has done nothing.

The Mongolian Navy is invading with Anchor babies!

Are you obligated to turn every one of your posts into a positive campaign ad for 'Jeb!'?

Trump would. Jeb Bush won't, he'll keep trying to change his position in response and getting himself into even bigger trouble. And that's why Bush is going to lose.
