Jeb 'Tough Guy' Bush: "I eat nails when I wake up, then I have breakfast."

It gets stranger and stranger..... but this needs documenting.

Bush told Bloomberg's Mark Halperin that speculation in the media and elsewhere that his bid for the Oval Office could end soon is far off base. "They don't know me," he said. "I eat nails when I wake up, then I have breakfast."



Jeb Bush has canceled plans to host a "tailgating" event during Saturday's Alabama-LSU game, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill announced today.

Merrill attributed the cancellation to "redirecting" of campaign efforts by the Republican presidential hopeful.

The visit was to be one of four game-day visits to Southeastern Conference schools for Bush in what his campaign calls "SEC Tailgating with Jeb."



And in a show of quiet confidence more hidden in recent weeks, Bush assured his audience he had the stomach for the fight.

"I'm running this campaign on my own terms. And let me tell you something, when the dust clears and the delegates are counted, we're going to win this campaign," Bush said, igniting cheers and chants throughout the audience: "Jeb! Jeb! Jeb!"



'When the DELEGATES are counted'? Again, we see that counting the VOTES doesn't matter to Jeb Bush.

Is Jeb! 'The Fixer' Bush counting on nabbing the nomination behind closed doors at the convention?


I have learned to listen very carefully to what tumbles out of this guy's mouth.

That line comes from some counsellor trying to motivate Jeb......who has never in his life has had to work any harder than this campaign.....he is exhausted already....he just doesnt have the drive for this and most certainly doesnt have the stamina for it.....the not really caring about it this much is starting to show..

Jebby is used to having things served up for him....he thinks this isn't fair.....it wasnt this hard for Daddy and Big Brother....they didnt have to put up with all these indinities campaigning......not fair I tell ya....

someone so pampered and entitled pretend to be a tough guy. It's hard to sell yourself as a fighter when you've been handed everything your entire life.

"All me blooming life sir!
Me mother was a Mermaid,
Me father was King Neptune!

I was spawned in the belly of the deep
and rocked in the cradle of a wave.
Barnacles and kelp is me clothes
Seaweed is me hair!

Every tooth in me head is a Marlin Spike!
Every bone in me body a pure Spar!

When I spits...I spits tar
I am tough, I am, I is, I are
Argggghhhhh!"

In crummy physical shape, of their own doing. Couldn't climb a flight of stairs faster than a slow walk without needing oxygen when they get to the top. Whiny hypochondriacs.

But between being gun nuts and having a loudmouthed swaggering bravado, swear they could band together and be a force to be reckoned with; the likes this earth has never seen.

Pfffft!

that eating your fingernails is a sign of anxiety. Not exactly the confidence booster he was looking for.

Among a series of other accidents, roughly 4,000 nails spilled across the eastbound lanes of the Dumbarton Bridge when two vehicles crashed at the midpoint of the span around 7:30 a.m., the CHP said. Two lanes of the bridge were blocked while the crews scrambled to clean up the mess.
