Well, we have it. Days before the Iowa caucus, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL gave us the moment that sums up the entirety of his campaign.
In a segment that aired on CBS News Thursday, Major Garrett asked Bush if he could be a surprise story in Iowa.
“Yes, because the expectations are so low,” Bush said, with a smile.
“Well, you have succeeded there, governor” Garrett quipped, to which, Bush thrusted his hands in the air like a champion.
“Mission accomplished!” Bush exclaimed.

The Bush Freres seem to have a declaring “Mission Accomplished” problem.
Whoosh! Right over his own silver-gilded little head.
He knows he’s done. Gallows humor.
He’s good enough, he’s smart enough, and gosh-darn it, people like him!
Not gonna happen Jeb!
