With Jeb Bush dropping out we see the end of the establishment - Of course there are other politicians in the race, but Jeb Bush was the leading candidate who had any experience in the government. I'm upset, not only because Americans for Prosperity represented him in the election simulation, but because it means that people have lost so much faith in the government they prefer Donald Tump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina. While Jeb Bush dropping out is not yet confirmed, he hinted at it when he said "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." His statement that the race has been more of a reality television show where everyone attempts to insult one another is true. Instead of talking about real policy issues the candidates spend time trading insults about appearances and mannerisms. We need someone like Jeb, because if this is what Americans want, then we need soemone strong enough to counteract him.
I agree that it is upsetting, that Jeb Bush could be dropping out of the race. This truely shows that Americans feel they can't rely on the government anymore. I remember reading that Jeb Bush is the most qualified out of all the Bushs that have been in office, but his last name will stop him from being elected. It's unfortunate that people feel like they can no longer rely on credentials and experience.
