Jeb Bush takes his campaign to ‘Blah blah blah’ territory

?itok=kytn95TK

It’s not exactly a secret that Jeb Bush’s path to the Republicans’ presidential nomination has run into unexpected obstacles. Facing underwhelming fundraising totals, lackluster standing in polls, and increasingly public hand-wringing from the GOP establishment, the former governor’s standing recently reached new lows.

Addressing his many troubles at a campaign event in New Hampshire over the weekend, Jeb Bush said, “Blah blah blah blah, that’s my answer, blah blah blah.”
Note, that’s not my rude interpretation of a more substantive answer. That’s literally what Bush said, as my colleague Will Femia reported.

But that’s not all he said.
“If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done,” Mr. Bush said, 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.”

He added, “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 doesn't seem to know what to do if he is elected. Maybe he would just be led around by the nose like his dumber brother.
