Jeb Bush Calls In Dad, Brother To Help Struggling Campaign
Breitbart ^ | 9/29/15 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 09/29/2015 11:29:42 AM PDT by jimbo123

On the campaign trail, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush frequently tries to allay concerns about the dynastic aspects of his candidacy. “I’m my own man,” Jeb said during a speech earlier this year, “and my views are shaped by my own thinking and experiences.”

As a fundraising quarter ends, however, Jeb is relying heavily on his father and brother to boost contributions to his struggling campaign.

Former President George W. Bush hosted two fundraisers for Jeb last week. He is scheduled to host three more over the next few weeks. In October, George W. and former President George H. W. Bush, whose health is frail, will mingle with campaign bundlers for Jeb’s campaign in Houston.

The higher profile taken recently by Jeb’s family in his campaign is a clear sign that things aren’t going well in the Bush campaign.

If Jeb needs to call Dad and big brother to fight his battles, this will turn into a PONTUS threesome if elected.

Bush should withdraw while he still has some dignity. Very few want him as President.

If he needs his family to bail him out, out it a sign Jeb is running out of steam.

And unpopular brother George W. isn’t going to give Jeb the Bush brand the boost it needs.

Time to put Jeb’s sinking campaign out of its well-deserved misery.

“Read my lips, no new taxes”.

The reason why Bush, The Elder was a one-termer.

The Little P is ignoring his job to the point where it is becoming an issue.

Jebbie should give it up. We don't want another Bush in the White House. Even Barbara Bush doesn't want another Bush in the White House. We've had quite enough of Bushes.

The Bush family had a good run with George Sr. and George Jr.

But Jebbie is a bridge too far.

If Jeb! needs to directly involve his dad, that seems desperate. I wouldn’t want to stress someone that up in age. Of course, this is a family where politics is the family business. So maybe HW Bush insists on being involved, and it would upset him more to be shut out.

Hey, Mom told you not to run.

I firmly believe she knew her sons limitations, and knew he would flub this.

Typical. Intervening on behalf of the USA over the past 7 disasterous years wasn’t worth W’s time.

But the Bush family political fortunes? An entirely different matter.

"yeah that ought to help."

That's what I was gonna say.

About as smart as if Bill Clinton was gonna run for Mayor of Hope, Arkansas, and he called Hillary in to campaign for him.
