The conventional wisdom has always been that Jeb Bush was supposed to be president a long time ago, and George W. Bush snuck into the chute first because he won the governorship of Texas when Bush lost his race for Florida governor. The idea is that Jeb's the more serious and studious brother. But maybe George W. Bush was just a much, much better candidate.
Jon Ward of Yahoo is a great observer of politics, and his view — which I share — is that Jeb Bush had the most costly night of all the candidates. It was his chance to show he's not awkward, that he agrees with Republicans on a range of issues, and that he would be an attack dog against Hillary Clinton in a general election. Fail. Fail. Fail. Here's Jon's take:
The former Florida governor struggled to find a comfort zone in the debate setting, looking at times like he was trying to process a multitude of thoughts simultaneously, very unlike his more confident self on the campaign trail in less formal settings.
If Bush is workmanlike in a speech, but animated and inspired in a question-and-answer session or a town hall setting, then in his first time on the debate stage he looked uncertain....

Jebba the Bush has been uninspiring since Day One.
The Bush family is just bored and idled. They’re in politics just to have something to do.
They should concentrate on daily spanking their 3rd and 4th generation because that is where the idiot spawn usually take hold.
Just leave the rest of Americans alone.
Trumping Jeb was pathetically easy to do. They all trumped him.
Cut the man a break! Geesh......Jeb is still reading the English-Spanish transcript of last night’s debate and asking Columba what her take is on all of it.. :0)
The Busch (original spelling) family was sent here by European interests many years ago.
LOL, Jeb couldn’t even sell himself to an audience full of the GOPe (as evidenced by their response to Kasich’s statement on the sodomites). It appears as though Trump can add another politician to his body account.
Terri taught me everything I need to know about Jeb.
Body count, that is. Trump would never want his corporeal manifestation to merge with that of a pussy’s such as Jeb.
One word came to mind while listening to Bush...
POLLYANNA!
No mas con los arbustos! No Yeb, no Jorge! A bajo!
Nevertheless, I think Bush-Kasich would do best against the Democrats.
God hear we go with Bush on Free Republic. Help us Lord.
Of course, Dems hope Bush would win - he'd be easy to defeat.
Not Romney/McCain?
If anything, that audience is further proof that the GOP must be destroyed for conservatism to possibly make a resurgence... and for America, it may be too late. Whatever Trump’s other goals are, it is clear that he also wishes for the GOPe to be destroyed, so for the moment he can be counted on as an ally.
Sarcasm?????
I certainly hope so. It’s not that I’m sarcasm impaired.....but ya never know who believes what around here sometimes
What would be the net positive if your dream team somehow won?
