Related: About this forumHillary Clinton Is Mastering Jeb Bush
The misguided political play of the week began when the GOP continued what has been called its war against women by trying to destroy Planned Parenthood, which for many on the right means not merely opposition to abortion but opposition to birth control and a war against federal programs that help women. In a Republican Party that is no longer the party of Abe Lincoln, the requirement for seeking the GOP nomination is for every candidate to move further to the right of the next candidate. Facing a major trust problem from the conservative base, Jeb Bush, in his latest campaign gaffe, operating without a staff-written script, escalated the war against Planned Parenthood by suggesting that spending for womens health programs generally should be cut. Hillary Clinton pounced and Jeb Bush surrendered. Ms. Clinton, who would be the first woman president and has spent a lifetime supporting programs that serve women of all ages, went on the offensive and charged that Mr. Bush was completely and unequivocally wrong, whereupon Jeb admitted that Hillary was right and he was wrong and misspoke and didnt really believe that programs for womens health should be cut.

at this stage of the game, Hillary is vastly superior to Bush in all categories.
Bernie is as well, but let's focus on Hillary first.
Intellectually speaking she is a literal genius compared to him, like the other Bush's, he is barely smart enough to tie his shoes.
Charisma, she has plenty, not nearly what Bill has but still plenty, Jeb is, well Jeb
I could go on.

The nomination seemed his to lose and he just might lose it.
