They never should have run Jeb in the first place, not with his last name. Obama has run against the Bush brand twice and soundly defeated it both times. Hillary would have done the same thing and the outcome would have been the same. The Bush brand is that tarnished. What the hell were they thinking?
“What the hell were they thinking?”
Pure ego, not deliberate thought. Same with McCain and Romney.
These people believe they are better than their fellow citizens and they have the special intelligence, education, experience, and social stature to lead. In their make believe world, the sheep should simply follow.
