Jeb Bush was supposed to be a shoo-in for the Republican nomination for president. Now, he can’t even debut a new slogan without people making fun of him.
As Mother Jones reports, the new “Jeb Can Fix It” logo signals an attempted campaign reworking, due to less than ideal poll numbers that have caused a donor to liken Bush’s campaign to a “death spiral.” Unfortunately, the slogan has gone viral, but not for positive reasons. Twitter users are taking the opportunity to make fun of the Bush campaign.
Here is one example of #JebCanFixIt, which has to do with the Florida recount debacle in 2000 that happened while Bush was governor (catapulting his brother to the presidency).
Jeb can fix it just like he "fixed" his brother's vote count in Florida. #JebCanFixIt #JebBush @JebBush pic.twitter.com/AOxuKSiGt5

In fact, the Florida recount was Twitter’s favorite well to draw from, complete with goofy photos of the candidate:

People have used #JebCanFixIt to refer to other political decisions, such as:

Then there’s this tweet making fun of the former governor’s campaign strategy:
@USATODAY maybe he should have bought the website first… https://t.co/0txIwl39ik #JebCanFixIt?

Jebcanfixit.com was bought by Jimmy Flannigan, who apparently ran for Austin, Texas city council on the “Flannigan Can Fix It” slogan. He’s using Bush’s similar one to promote his past campaign (for some reason). I wonder if Jeb regrets the adoption of his new slogan after seeing this.
Bush has been through enough, but Donald Trump may have the last word.
Jeb's new slogan – "Jeb can fix it". I never thought of Jeb as a crook! Stupid message, the word "fix" is not a good one to use in politics!
