June
It’s all but decreed:
Because of his breed,
Jeb Bush is the steed
Republicans need.
This Bush guaranteed
A fat-cat stampede.
Most pundits agreed
That soon we would read,
“Jeb’s rivals concede.”

October
Whatever he’d plead,
Few voters would heed.
His poll numbers skied
Downhill with a speed
He could not impede.
Stuff happens, indeed.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
