Liberal comedian Bill Maher is “all for” a Jeb Bush run at the White House for one simple reason — He’s not Ted Cruz.
Maher published a blog post Tuesday after Bush’s “actively explore” presidential announcement declaring this sentiment.
“Jeb Bush is openly talking about a presidential run, and I, for one, am all for it. Because he’s not Ted Cruz,” Maher wrote.
“If we had to have a Republican president, I’d prefer that it be someone who eats with a fork and a knife. As for the prospect of another Clinton-Bush race, and the rise of dynastic politics in America, I say, “Whatever.” Let Doris Kearns Goodwin fret over that on NewsHour. In the whorehouse of American politics, that’s the least of my worries.”
Maher calls out liberals for comparing Jeb to George W. Bush and says that shouldn’t matter in this race. He said that it wouldn’t be his last name that killed his chances of scoring the GOP nomination, it would be because he is “too sane.”
“Even though I’m sure I’d disagree with Jeb Bush on a lot of things, I don’t hold his brother against him anymore than I hold Roger Clinton against Bill Clinton,” he wrote. “And while I’d be all for Republicans electing a sane, reasonable man who cares about policy, this is the Republican Party in 2014 – it ain’t gonna happen.”
What higher recommendation could Ted receive? From Bill Maher, no less!
I think I'd rather have 2 years of the Obama brother living in a lean-to in Kenya than the one we have in the White Hut right now.
Yep, now we know what is really going on.
The RATS are worried about 2016 and are going all out to promote someone who will be easy to beat.
As usual, the Bush Family is clueless they are being used as pawns.
Well, the left has made their choice who the repubs should nominate and the repubs are “all in” when it comes to “reaching across the aisle” (aka licking leftist butt), so I guess Jeb it is.
Yes it does.
Way to hurt Bush’s chances, Maher!
Not really. Barbara Bush herself has said no more Bushes!
Liberals picked the last loser and if we let them, they will pick the next.
Or if a Jeb Bush type wins, they know full well that the liberal agenda will not suffer in any way, shape or form.
Maher says that now. Bet ya $10 if Bush got the nomination Maher would go into overdrive attacking him.
One more reason not to vote for Jeb as if I need one.
That’s why I’m for Ted Cruz. If I knew nothing else about him, the fact that he scares all the right people is good enough.
I give a —— what Bill Maher thinks.
Don’t you love the irony folks? The Democrats always accuse our side of being bigoted and racist but look who it is that is bringing out the venom and hate of the left: a Hispanic. Yeah, love the irony!!
Well Bill, your opinion probably doesn’t have the effect on me that you think it does.
Excuse me. If Jeb's not like Ted Cruz, then he must be a dummy like you Maher. Congratulations, looks like you've found a RINO dumb enough to play the straight man in the your comedy act.
