Should Jeb have fired back when Hillary attacked? (Washington Generals Ping!!)
Washington Examiner ^ | 08/1/2007 | BYRON YORK

--SNIP-- But Bush had left all those Clinton charges unanswered. And to some conservatives who question his resolve to fight, Bush's silence had an ominous sound to it. After all, this was the Jeb who had presented Hillary with the National Constitution Center's "Liberty Medal" in 2013. And this was the Jeb who has sometimes seemed inclined to criticize fellow conservatives at least as much as Democrats.

"Echoes of '92: Hillary implies Jeb's a bigot on stage yesterday, Jeb responds by praising Obama," tweeted radio host Laura Ingraham. Later, noting praise of Bush, Ingraham added: "Clockwork: New York Times will come to Jeb's defense as the 'adult' in the room … until he becomes the nominee."

One of the most corrupt politicians in history manhandles El Jebe on his home turf. She defames his brother, father, grandfather and millions of Republicans but the "head banging" conservative goes into the fetal position.
If Bush won't stick up for his family do you think he will fight for you?

Bush is depending on Democrats to elect him to the R nomination. (Op Chaos 2016)

His lack of fighting spirit is due to his successful conditioning by progressive media that has targeted independent masculinity.

This is why DT is so attractive. He is unapologletically independent and masculine.

His brother suffered fatal political damage ( and thus so did our nation) from taking this noblesse oblige aristocrat attitude toward scurrilous personal attack

Enough Bush, by golly gee

He couldn’t fight back because he left his “man pants” at home.

I would like to him answer this:

I guess he hopes the Koch brothers and the public have short memory’s.

BUSH, Cruz, Rubio and Walker to Court Koch donors

.....campaign spokesman Tim Miller stressed that Bush regularly criticizes Clinton, but that the Urban League meeting wasn't the place to do it.

So,this wasn't the place for him to criticize her but it was the place for her to criticize him.

Jebbush is the straw man candidate, intended to lay waste conservative opposition in the primaries, and lose the general election to the most favored globalist candidate.

These presidential contests have degenerated into fixed boxing matches.

I can’t see anyone getting excited by jebbush, and I don’t have a mental or visual image of a jebbush supporter.

Just what is a Jeb to do? He is from a long
line of blue bloods who are above defending
themselves from any kind of attack. Instead,
they apparently believe that the populace will
somehow magically learn the truth and they will
honor the blue blood as a classy statesman. If
there was ever an advantage in never defending
your own honor I certainly have not found it in
my reading of history. Jeb’s big brother allowed
himself to be a target throughout his two terms
and he has continued to be the main whipping boy
of a dubious and crooked administration. I won’t
ever fight for someone who won’t fight for
themselves if they have the ability to do so.
Go to hell, Jeb.

I finally saw the light after the 2006 midterm elections. Dubya was content to be a lame duck, unwilling to fight the Democrats. Jeb’s just like Poppy and his brother. No more Bushes for me.
