Jeb's meltdown: is this the end of the line?

By Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.



I wonder if Jeb Bush's bizarre statement this weekend isn't on a par with, say, Muskie's '72 meltdown, Nixon's '62 concession speech, or Howard Dean's howl?

“If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done, then I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people literally are in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation. I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that,” he said.
