Videos showing the 6 foot, three inch tall GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush oddly standing on tiptoes for the group photo prior to Wednesday night's debate has stimulated some ridicule of the candidate. This ridicule has prompted Bush campaign manager David Kochel to defend his man by claiming that "it was an effort to level the playing field. Carly Fiorina gets to boost her height by wearing high heels. Why shouldn't Jeb try to offset her unfair advantage by similarly elevating himself?"

What a dumbass. What did he think, they were only going to shoot pics from the waist up? Critical thinking score, zero point zero. Never mind the body language tell with the arms. He must be the dumbest one in the whole famn dambly.

I think Mike Dukakis used to stand on a pedestal behind the podium so that he would appear as tall as his opponents during debates.
Never understood why people would be so insecure about their height. I'm 6' 3" myself but I would gladly trade places with somebody 5' 10".
Tall people don't live as long as shorter people. So I would probably gain 10 years of life by being a half foot shorter.

What a dope— El Yeb is like the tallest one anyway in that group without the tip-toes stunt. He’s short in the brain it seems as well as in the polls.

I agree. Someone (wife, mom?) is giving him some crazy advice.

According to a casual search Jeb and the Donald are both 6’3” but they stood sis by side at the debate and clearly Jeb was taller than Trump by 2 or 3 inches. Either Trump is only 6 feet or Jeb was wearing lifts.

Trump had a bad hair day. He’s only 6’1

Never the less the campaign stories all define him as 6’3” but clearly he is not. Pataki is listed as 6’5” and looked every bit of it.
