Incredibly, Morning Scabs gushing over JEB!1's performance

[UTUSN]

The whole motley crew are claiming that JEB!1 "stood up ... took on TRUMP ... showed *strength*(!1)"

Must be my lying eyes, but I saw JEB!1 in a pathetic, stamp-your-foot, embarrassing personal spectacle from a petulant Entitled who was about to cry, like he was dumbfounded at having his rightful place taken away from him. Even in the opening and closing statements with the mic all to himself he was mumbling, stammering, stumbling.

I mean, there's never anything for me to agree with Scabs with, but it's like I'm in an alternate universe.

3. I Said Here On DU The Other Day That Whomever Takes Down Trump Would Be The Repug Nominee....

It seemed like many of the questions directed at Jeb were meant to be confrontational between he and Trump. Almost like CNN was lobbing softballs up to Jeb to make him look strong. Instead I think they (in the words of Chris Crispy) made Jeb look 'feakless and weak'. It backfired on Jeb. Now morning joke is trying to come to Jeb's aid here and help out his poor performance last night.

Jeb just doesn't have what it takes to be their nominee and should quit while he doesn't embarrass himself more. However, he was from the start their 'presumptive nominee' and they are still pushing for him. Jeb even got cocky with one of his comments last night by saying Trump will not be the Repug nominee - almost like he knew the fix was in. I think it was that cocky comment that illicited Trump's comment that he had 41% to Jeb's 3%.

It will be interesting to see if they keep Jeb in this contest to the end to try and force history.

4. I watched about 15 minutes of it.

Enough to see an exchange between Trump and Jeb. I honestly thought Jeb was about to cry. I actually felt sorry for him. He really needs to pull the plug on his campaign.

5. Jeb! was awful...

...they did the same with George... Surprised they did not make Christie the big winner - tho they do adore him. Also, no 15 minute attack on Hillary or Obama. There is still time, however!

6. Well somebody's got to create the new reality.

7. I listened briefly. They'll play this tune until the first polling comes out.

Jeb! will probably go down and Herr Trump will go up. I had to laugh when Jeb! said the Republican Party is not based on fear and that it's a "caring" party. "Caring" about money, maybe, certainly not people.

8. JEB! will be the nominee
