Jeb Bush not only embarrassed the Bush family with his bumbling and stumbling campaign, he wasted $150 million in donations. So Jeb Bush is begging for forgiveness from his donors, apologizing to them on a conference call. Jeb Bush’s epic failure in this year’s primary and caucuses is the final nail in the Bush dynasty. No Bush should ever run for president again after Jeb’s epic failure. Before Rubio, Jeb Bush was the Fox News golden boy getting all the favorable coverage. Now, it’s Rubio.

Jeb Bush apologized to his major donors in a conference call Wednesday after dropping out of the Republican presidential race following his disastrous finish in the South Carolina primary.
“I’m sorry that it didn’t turn out the way that I intended,” Bush told his donors, according to The New York Times. “When I launched the campaign in front of three or four thousand people in Miami, I anticipated a different result.”
“The reality was that you had a year of disruption, a year of outsiders making a compelling case to people who were deeply disaffected and angry, and I just didn’t get the breakthrough that I needed in the early states and felt it was important to not move on without a clear path to winning,” Bush added.
Bush distanced himself from his famous brother George W. Bush until South Carolina, when he held a rally with his brother that failed to boost him in the polls. Mocked for his “low-energy” demeanor and the odd exclamation point next to his first name on his campaign logo, Bush managed to beat establishment rival Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%
in New Hampshire, but otherwise his campaign was a complete dud.Jeb Bush will, however, be remembered as the object of many of Donald Trump’s best slams and put-downs in the Republican debates and on the campaign trail. Seemingly obsessed by Bush, and the Bush family in general, Trump managed to marginalize other candidates by focusing his scorn on the other biggest guy on the stage: Jeb.
