Wall Street Journal and Bush Campaign Website

Hope Hicks: The official Bush campaign website is Jeb2016.com, so the current redirect is not a result of hacking, but rather of a prescient purchase that may have been made before either Bush or Trump declared their candidacies, according to Hamilton Spectator. Trump campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks told the Wall Street Journal that they're not responsible for Jeb Bush.com, though no doubt they're quietly thanking whoever is. But most netizens seem to be just catching wind of the prank now and are seizing the opportunity to mock an already-struggling campaign. After Bush asked for applause from an audience in New Hampshire and passionately hugged someone who said he might vote for him, this website snafu is the last thing he needs. A search for variations on " Insert Candidate for President," "Elect Candidate " and " Candidate 2016″ website names yields a virtual cornucopia of biting and sardonic redirects. In the arena of repurposed domain names, though, the former Florida governor is far from alone. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
