I say good riddance to bad rubbish. He started his whole campaign under the assumption it would be a coronation, with the powers that be giving him all that money, and with his name value, and family, and connections, he just assumed he'd get the nomination.
I guess he totally underestimated how much of a curse the name "BUSH" still is in America, even among Republicans. We still remember the total clusterfuck that WAS W's two terms in the Oval Office. I say it'll have to be another ten-twelve years before Jeb's son, another George Bush will take a shot at the presidency. By then, a decade or so more will have caused the nightmare of Bushie to fade in the minds of the public. And THIS Bush is half Hispanic and speaks fluent Spanish, so maybe that'll help him overcome the black mark that is is last name.
I honestly thought JEB! would remain somewhat longer, if for no other reason that he had shittons of money left. And I thought he'd wait at least until Florida. But I suppose losing his own home state might have been too much of an embarrassment to him.
Anyway, here is the list:
Democrats
Hillary Clinton: April 12, 2015 - 304 days
Bernie Sanders: April 30, 2015 - 291 days (even though he's really an Independent)
Ted Cruz; March 23, 2015 - 328 days
Marco Rubio: April 13, 2015 - 313 days
Ben Carson: May 4, 2015 - 289 days
Donald Trump: June 16, 2015 - 245 days
John Kasich: July 21, 2015 - 211 days
