Jeb Bush appears to be getting desperate, what with his gun tweet. From his point of view at least it has him in the news.

He's been desperate for about six months; it's been wonderful to watch and even more wonderful to think of the reaction of his donors after they realised they'd pissed away millions on this chump. It's difficult to pick a best moment, but I reckon the 'I eat nails for breakfast' line is up there, as is wheeling out his mum to protect him after Trump bullied him and crying when talking about his dad.
He even bought Dubya back the other day to stir up the hicks.

'Bernie' daring to write to St. Margaret about the IRA has put me right off him. Plenty of people kill themselves in prison, mate.
There's a rather nauseating trend of IRA sympathising that rears its head every so often.
They weren't bombing your home city to pieces, mate.
It's not exactly 'Up the IRA' is it?
Nevada votes in an hour. If Bernie wins then it's well and truly on, like Leicester's win against City (South Carolina is Arsenal a week later).
Bernie's not gonna win Nevada. Not gonna happen.
Lol, he's done a lot worse than expected.
'The Donald' does it again. You would hope the expected shambles finally forces the party to burn itself down and start again, but you just know it won't. They will put all the problems down to him and blither on.
Fucking love Trump.
GOPs only hope is to get Bush and Kasich out of the race so Rubio can run at their 20%. If they keep letting Trump win primaries with 30% of the vote, he's their candidate.
Jeb! is out.

Might lol at that for another day or so.
Hopefully that's the last wee see of the Bush family on the national political stage.
Agreed. It is time for the Trump family to take over.
Why do these dickheads always "suspend" their campaigns anyway? Is it supposed to allow for the possibility of resuming them, or is to save face or what?
I imagine it is somehow money related.
What are the latest odds in the race to the Whitehouse?
I'd check, but all betting sites are blocked here.
Straight from Unibet.
The Rubio/Cruz discrepancy seems mental.
More that Bloomberg, who hasn't even declared a bid for the presidency, is ahead of Cruz.
Indeed. There is not a hope in hell that Bloomberg is winning.
Yeah, how is Cruz so low on that?
I might stick some moneys on Hilary. It's as close to a sure thing as you'll find.
Apparently most of the states Cruz is strong in split their delegates proportionally whereas the winner take all states are likely to be won by Rubio or Trump.

As long as Trump is the Republican nominee. She's getting fisted to various degrees by the rest. Rubio and Kasich have about 10 points on here.
Sanders annihilates the lot of them.
Rubio gives them such a good chance of getting the White House back. I don't understand what they're doing.
Who is 'they' and what should 'they' be doing?
Everyone who wants a Republican to win, and they should be voting for him.
I see. Well, Trump voters clearly don't care for the party. Not entirely sure what they care for, really. If Cruz dropped (which I don't think he will) I wonder how many of his voters would go for Rubio and how many for Trump.
They're being anti-establishment. I certainly don't agree with them at all, but it's easy to understand.
It is quite lol to hear Republicans talk about slashing government down and whatnot and then be surprised when their crowd ends up voting for 'not government.' Should have thought it out a bit more mates.
Whatever passes for 'party elders' over there needs to bribe everyone bar Rubio to drop out asap, but they don't seem to be as organised as that.
Cruz always labelled himself as some sort outsider, but he got out-outsidered by Trump. I doubt he'll drop but I guess we'll see. Carson is another outsider and Kasich's votes won't make any meaningful difference.
Problem is that Trump then runs as an independent.
That would be an interesting one. Could end up similarly, with Clinton and Rubio splitting votes and Trump snatching the presidency from them. Rather have Trump as president than Rubio, truth be told.Problem is that Trump then runs as an independent.
If I were Trump I'd have just done that anyway. He could have a proper team spending a full 2 years building up to the general, he wouldn't have to waste resources and a lot of his political capital on all these fucking ridiculous primaries, and then he could have unleashed his Donaldness on everyone in August and September just as everyone is realising they hate whichever turds are churned out by the party machine.
Might not have quite won, but I'm sure he's mainly in it for the lolz anyway.
That has been my GF's stance all along, that he's seeing how much shite he can say and still get away with it. Turns out it is A LOT of shite.
I was talking to Mert about this. The 'establishment' seems to have finally sorted themselves out and united behind Rubio, the problem is that Cruz doesn't give a fuck (he's running as anti-establishment as well) and is not nearly selfless enough to drop out. And as long as Rubio and Cruz are both in it, it goes to Trump, and if Cruz can see out the next month or so then it probably will.
A Rubio / Kasich ticket is nicely balanced and should win two key swing states. Rubio also offers an opportunity to cut into the Democrats' healthy lead with minority voters.
The wet dream for the Republicans is Trump/Rubio/Cruz going to the end with no-one getting a majority, at which point they could fiddle Rubio.
'Hilary' is a fucking bomb-scare of a candidate and anyone but Trump beats her.
Hilary is probably the most untrustworthy candidate I've seen, everything about her screams 'dodgy as fuck'
The amusing aspect being that there are supposed to be in the midst of releasing emails for the personal server she was using for work business and if I recall when they had the snowstorm they asked for an extra month to release everything
Cruz honestly believes that he's God's ordained choice as the next President.
The party absolutely detests him, which is why he's so low in the odds. They'd probably take Trump as the nominee before they accepted Cruz.
Honestly, it's Rubio vs. Trump at this point. Cruz coming in 3rd in SC, a state he should've done relatively well in, pretty much seals it for him.
Kasich still being in it really hurts Rubio.
Kasich really should cut a deal where he drops out, throws his weight behind Rubio and takes the VP slot on the ticket.
Rubio is a fucking nut as well. I'm hoping it's Trump. At least then you get someone who shows their true colours, rather than hiding it behind a veneer of respectability.
