Jeb Bush, the Un-candidate
Politico ^ | 2/9/16 | MICHAEL J. MISHAK

Behind the would-be juggernaut lay a candidate who'd never won a competitive election.

Jeb Bush banned me from the bus. It was October 2014, two months before Jeb would announce he was exploring a run for president, and I had come to west Texas as an Associated Press reporter to ask about his plans. The former Florida governor had taken a day off from campaigning for midterm candidates to enjoy a victory lap with his son, George P. Bush, who was cruising to election as Texas land commissioner.

A Texas colleague and I were set to interview father and son aboard George P.'s campaign bus. But when the time came, one of George's aides pulled me aside. As I watched my colleague enter the bus, the door closing behind him, I was told that neither I, nor my questions about the 2016 presidential race, would be allowed.

JEB’s comments during this election have totally turned me against the Bush tribe...

I walked/ an phoned for GWB here in SW PA. both times he ran for POTUS, I was thrilled to support him, but when he refused to defends his Administration against Hussein and the liberal comments, I lost that admiration...

JEB has never impressed me and his I LOVE MY SELF AND HATE TRUMP FINISHED ME WITH THE BUSH'S...

JMO.

Notice Mama Bush following with her walker - If Jebbie were to win, would she be an “advisor”?

“Hey, can I come in and warm up? It’ll only be for a few minutes.”

“Sorry, there’s only room for one person in here.”

“Oh, don’t worry. It’s just me. It’ll take my mom half an hour to get back from the store with a fifty pound bag of rock salt, anyway.”

After the election he can do 7UP commercials, just like Geraldine Ferraro did Diet Pepsi commercials.

Until The Joyful Tortoise drops out, he is still a threat.
Yeb! and Kasuck have been adamantly saying Trump WILL NOT be the nominee like they know something.

The Cheap Labor Express still expects the RNC/GOP to deliver the amnesty candidate they paid for.

Barbara’s walker in the snow will help Jebbie: people in NH may indeed want a third Bush and a second Clinton, but I am unsure.

The Bushes were never what you hoped they were. But you were just being optimistic.
