This ONE Photo Sums Up Jeb Bush's Campaign

by Rachel Krantz

Oh, poor, faltering Jeb Bush. Donald Trump made it about five minutes into Tuesday night's GOP debate before he managed to burn the state of Bush's flailing Republican presidential campaign. First, Bush attempted to attack Trump, saying, "Donald is great at the one liners, but he is a chaos candidate and he would be a chaos president."

Then, as if to prove him right, Trump responded, "Jeb doesn't really believe I am unhinged, he said that very simply because he has been a disaster in his campaign." Burn. But also, true.

A Monmouth University poll released Monday has the candidate at a measly three percent — and Trump leading with 41 percent, ahead of Sen. Ted Cruz with 14 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio with 10 percent, and Ben Carson at nine percent. Yikes. You know things are bad when something Donald Trump says about you is accurate.

Over on Twitter, one image, posted by The Washington Post's Matea Gold, was equally damning. The photo, which was taken at a Jeb Miami watch party, has to sum up the current state of Jeb Bush's Republican presidential campaign. A picture really is worth 1000 words. Or at least, 140 characters.
