The end to JEB! 2016 could come as early as Sunday, but probably at least by Monday

JEB! is going to do very poorly tomorrow in SC.  Most certainly he will finish well behind Marco Rubio, and there is a chance he might even finish behind John Kasich.  Everyone, voters and donors, have given up on JEB! and it appears even JEB! now realizes it.

W's public appearance this week served as an ironic eulogy for JEB! 2016 from the man whose presidency strangled his brother's presidential aspirations in the cradle. JEB's presidential run was doomed from the start.  He didn't raise too little money.  He could have raised 150 billion dollors instead of 150 million, but it would not have helped him buy one single vote from anyone not already sold on the idea of a third Bush president.

America will not be ready for a third Bush president for many years, if ever.  George P. Bush may try again for the family in eight years, but don't count on him having much better luck than his father. One of W's daughter might get the idea if P. flames out that a female Bush could run as a "liberal" Democratic and restore the family to national prominence. Don't bet on it.

But one thing the younger Bush women do have going for them. They are much better looking than the Bush men. If you are going to get screwed by a Bush, either of W's daughters would be preferable over any other family member.
