Jeb’s ‘Mission Accomplished’ Moment Is The Jeb-iest Thing Ever

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.
