Jeb’s end

Not since the introduction of New Coke has more money been thrown away on a product no one wanted.

What amazes me is that in all the stories about Jeb Bush’s miserable campaign, the candidate still seemed to disregard his brother’s toxicity. Yet, I have no doubt that when the book is finally written on Jeb’s run, his downfall will be seen as a strange form of fratricide.
