Jeb Bush hugs an Iowan
Dallas Morning News ^ | 1/30/16 | Todd J. Gillman

A Jeb Bush town hall is somewhat more sedate than a Trump or Cruz event. Voters are attentive and respectful. They're not especially angry. They didn't come for insults and bluster.

"Governor Bush... you are the most reasonable, responsible, respectful and resilient candidate in either party... I hope common sense will prevail," Harrison Cass Jr., 67, a retired school superintendent from Waterloo, told him during a Q&A.

"Are you caucusing for me? Lemme give you a hug." And Bush walked over and hugged him.

-snip-

He defended his view that the Republican Party needs to be more tactful and welcoming on immigration and Hispanics if they're ever going to win back the White House.

Jeb you would get better publicity by simply staying home and hugging an orange tree. LOL

I would be just as thrilled as if Hillary hugged an Iowan.

Not impressed at all.

Jeb, would you rather hug a turtle or kiss a rabbit between the ears?

There's not a rambunctious 1 in the 6?

But he’s Jeb and he’s special!

Jeb Bush tells Iowa audience: “I’m Jeb. Exclamation point.”

“Jeb Bush hugs an Iowan”


One of the most boring headlines ever,
right up there with ...

“Worthwhile Canadian Initiative.”
“NYC finds 96 percent of luggage scales accurate.”
“Small Earthquake in Chile/Not Many Dead.”
“University of Rochester Decides to Keep Name”

And the award goes to ...

“Debate Goes on Over the Nature of Reality.”

Yes, Jeb!, you’re the best at being complacent with the terrible direction the U.S.A. is headed in...Why can’t more people be so melancholy and tacit with the implementation of a world Marxism? Un-Freakin’-believable.

Yep, the key to winning elections is to spit in the face of the citizens and call them bigots for expecting their elected leaders to uphold the rule of law.

Abandoning the rule of law and giving the Democrats a permanent majority is the only way for Republicans to win

I’m expecting them to try. Yeb! and Kasuck have been pretty emphatic that Trump WILL NOT be nominated. Like they know something......

I have, in my lifetime, delivered exactly nine votes for president of the United States. Of those nine, exactly four have been for a candidate named ‘Bush’. With all due respect, I have gotten all I can get out of that family. The blue blood, establishment Republicanism of that family just is irrelevant today. I don't hate Jeb, I just don't like him. I need a candidate with an edge. Jeb is all smooth.
