Jeb Bush's brother George W. Bush won the presidency twice, but left office seven years ago with withered approval ratings. And Jeb Bush was less expansive in talking about his sibling.
"I guess George is more disciplined," Bush told a crowd of about 100 potential voters. "I'm probably a little more cerebral."
Then, with a take-me-as-I-am shrug, he made a reference to his much-mocked campaign logo, Jeb!, which notably avoids his famous last name.
"I'm Jeb. Exclamation point," he said with a chuckle. "What can I tell ya?"

That’s a low energy speech.
1) the R field would be heavily split
2) Hillary had no opposition
3) Dems cross over in R primaries to install the softest target for November (Op Chaos Dem-style)
It could have worked, but only in a very unique set of circumstances
**************************************************************
The plan worked in 2008 and 2012 (sans Hillary), that’s how we got McRomney.
We have open primaries here in Illinois, I hate it.
Michael Moore got it right this time.
There was an audience? How much did he pay them to be there?
Even Jeb’s donors are sick of him and his big wasteful spending.

You had a choice
$20 Starbux coupons, or a copy of his book “Reply All”
It looked like the coupons were winning 100:1
I think he’s got a shot at the most $$ spent per primary vote in election history.
I think that's the #1 problem. Trump and Sanders pale in comparison.
Cut out the freebies and the number would plunge, LOL
Jeb is a colon.
Whoever coined the term “doofus” had to be thinking of Jeb.
Two of them in Spanish.
Hey, Jeb!
Owning a cerebellum does not necessarily make you “cerebral.”
No, the thing that messed it up was simply the fact that he’s a Bush. He’s not a bad guy and was a good governor of Florida, and is not the raving liberal that people here make him out to be. But there’s no way he should be president, and I don’t think he has a chance of winning.
The problem is that he’s simply part of the Bush family and way of doing things, meaning ineffectual, timid, and sunk in the old attitudes and old ways (which never worked anyway). I would bet that if he somehow got to be president, you’d see a huge squadron of geriatric advisers behind him, because the Bushes are very loyal to their losers. Colin Powell, anybody?
Oddly enough, even though he’s not that old, he projects old and tired, although not old and tired and crazy, like Hillary and Bernie. So I guess the choice would be whether you like your “old and tired” with or without the “crazy.”
Fortunately, I don’t think he has a chance.
Nothing that anyone wants to hear.
In that picture, looks like several have already dozed off.
