And who hasn't seen Jeb Bush over the last few months speaking to the media on either his views on current events or a possible run for President? He just comes off as rather dull. And a candidate's charisma/personality is generally the first aspect we look for in choosing a candidate. Jeb Bush would be the Vanilla Candidate if he chooses to run. We have not had a very entertaining President since Bill Clinton. And we also have not had anyone that would compare to Reagan as well.This time around we definitely have several candidates with intriguing personalities and would make for an excellent leader!
Jeb Bush and NJFatboy should be on the list of prospective DEM candidates.
Mr. Jeb is SEVERELY....boring. Except when he says ridiculous RINO talking points, as in ‘Amnesty being an ‘act of love’.
that’s the least of his worries. we went with super charismatic last time, and look what we got.
plenty of reasons to not vote for jeb, but that’s just not one of them.
what charisma? bambi needs a teleprompter just to speak.
GWB had an endearing everyman persona. Jeb thinks he’s smarter than everyone. But the fix is in. He will be the nominee. He will not be president.
can u just imagine Jeb on the stage with Cruz, Paul, Christie, and Walker? it would be so embarrassing.
a lack of personality is not the issue lack of character can be in a candidate.
I read the other day that whoever is leading in the polls a year from the primary is selected as the winner by Republicans. This person is the next person “in line.”
This year, there is not one of those. RINOmney won the primary and lost the general.
Democrats don’t go with who is logically next. They have to “fall in love” with their candidate and be inspired.
This year that looks like Warren.
Martin Armstrong documents the rise of the Cycle of Independents currently (ex. UKIP).
I believe this election will be a crap shoot as one or more independents enter the race and do well - not well enough to win automatically, but well enough to really mess with the whole thing.
Sarah fits this bill.
Cruz fits this bill.
Paul fits this bill.
As a broader picture...
Does it really matter which wing of the Central Oligarchy wins the Presidency? We get the same thing, as witnessed by the Omnibus disaster this week.
I am still betting on Ted Cruz! at least he doesn’t need cue cards!!!
A true leader has to have the ability to convince others to follow them. One of the chief personal attributes which creates a following, is a certain force of personality, or charisma (if you will).
Without that 'It Factor', a person seeking a leadership position needs to employ nefarious means to get to the top, because most people won't naturally support or choose them.
Jeb Bush is an excellent example of the type of person who seeks to be a leader, while having little to no capacity to lead at all.
Rand Paul will slice and dice Jeb without losing one permed curl in his pompadour. The others may be initially intimidated by a BUSH family member standing in their presence. They’ll get over it soon, though, once it’s clear how Jeb can be goaded into airing lots and lots of dirty laundry that shouldn’t matter but does.
What dirty laundry? Oh, little things like Jeb’s wife being detained at customs for lying about over $19K in clothes and jewelry, or his daughter Noelle’s drug addiction. How she was arrested in 2002 after trying to fill a fake prescription for Xanax. Distracting things like that.
Article V is the only peaceful means left.
he got elected governor of Florida a couple of times. jus’ sayin’
Oh these Repub-Es and their RINOs. Losing two POTUS elections with RINOs isn’t enough, they want to go 3 for 3.
There will be no Jeb bush on the ticket or millions are gone like last time. This is all about insider power — thay don’t give a crap about us. The whole thing sucks. We are just pawns.
With him, the secret is he is very shy. If you remember that much about him, everything else you see of him makes better sense. I oppose him on immigration because with him it's family/personal.
Renters insurance is great but all your family pictures,etc. will be AWOL.
The lack of charisma centers around the name: Bush. Regarding political leaders names “Bush”, I’m Bushed.
