It's the musical you never knew you wanted, and the one you now can't imagine living without: Jeb! An American Disappointment! (Please Clap).

The Pulitzer Prize committee should just give next year's drama award out now to the dozens of contributors who turned the saga of Jeb Bush and his erstwhile 2016 rivals into a two-act, 46 song extravaganza. You'll find yourself humming along to such ditties as "Donald Trump, Chump," "He's Not Mitt," and "Jeb! Bush, Exclamation Point," and cheering on (or rooting against) Marco Rubio (Sippin' Water Since 2013), Chris Christie (Bridges Hate Him), and John Kasich (Aw Jeez People).
