Jeb Bush suffered through a series of humiliations that made
up his campaign for president. He often
reminded me of Wile E. Coyote devising elaborate contraptions with materials
purchased through the Acme Corporation which always backfired.
The Bush Team tried every trick they could think of rather than
bend to the political winds. His mother, former first lady Barbara Bush,
implored voters to side with her son. George W. Bush joined him in South Carolina to
battle his brother’s nemesis.
Voters deemed Jeb too old-school for a party surging toward a new
identity.
“The people of Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina have
spoken and I really respect their decision,” said Bush, who grew emotional as
he announced he would end his run for the White House.
