Fallon on Jeb’s Concession Speech: It Qualifies Him for Miss America

‘To be fair he had been drinking since noon’

FALLON: "After doing poorly in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, Jeb Bush announced on Saturday night that he is dropping out of the race. Of course — of course, that means Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are both hoping to pick up Jeb’s supporters. Yeah. And Jeb was like, 'Joke’s on you. I didn’t have any supporters. Ah! I got you!' That’s right, Jeb Bush announced that he is dropping out. It was bittersweet, but I have to say, his concession speech really clarified what Jeb stood for."
BUSH [video]: "Republicans can win the White House and we can get back to being in the verge of having the greatest time to be alive. And that’s what I honestly believe. And I know you do as well. I look forward to working you to make that dream come true."
FALLON: "Well if he’s not qualified to be president, maybe he’s qualified to be Miss America? I don’t know — I don’t know how to help him. I’m looking forward to working you towards the urge of the verge. To be fair he had been drinking since noon. You know George W. Bush was off to the side going, 'Perfect, just like I wrote it. Yeah. He nailed it!'”
