Bad news for Jeb!

[MoonRiver]

He's cutting costs by 40%. The Koch golden boy appears to be a colossal FAIL.

1. Barbara probably had the foresight to know this might happened is likely why she initially

did not want him to run.

[MoonRiver]

3. Yeah, and I don't recall her being very enthusiastic about W either.

What a gene pool disaster!

[Mass]

2. May be smart move? Who knows.

Frankly, these process stories bore me. They are meaningless. There is no Republicans I care about, but the way we report politics prevents a discussion about issues.

[geek tragedy]

4. Scott Walker was the Koch bros first choice

They are not very good at picking winners

[MoonRiver]

6. Fortunately

5. The Koch's will always have their golden boy (or girl).

In fact, they have quite a few of them.

7. That's the canary in the coal mine

I think the only one to survive this move in recent memory is McCain.

8. In the end they will pick Rubio or Kasich

[flamingdem]

9. Why do we hear so little about Kasich?

Rubio is not up to the task but he's probably the best they've got.

Cruz is supposedly waiting in the wings too.

[rbrnmw]

10. I think because Carson and Trump are

Sucking up the airtime with their insanity is why Kasich gets so little coverage. He just as big of an asshole just sounds nicer most of the time.

11. Kasich had a mini-flurry a couple months ago, but couldn't capitalize.

He ran a bunch of ads in New Hampshire and got himself to about 11-12 percent in most polls. That put him in second or third place in most of them.

He also got his national numbers up a little and beat Rick Perry onto the debate main stage. Then he got his national number up a little more.

In the end, he couldn't sustain it. His national numbers fell back, he never rose in Iowa or South Carolina and he also saw his numbers dip in New Hampshire, with other candidates surpassing him.

[Adrahil]

12. His campaign is in a death spiral.

My guess is he won't last to the end of the year.

13. The Hochie Goochie Koch bros.......

will always have control of the political field until we get some major laws are changed. Let them waste their money on these nutballs on the right.
