I heard he had to ask people to clap at his NH appearance today. I actually feel sorry for him. He’s not a bad guy, many of his positions are conservative and he was a competent governor. But he just doesn’t have what it takes.
Like his brother, he’d be too weak and gentlemanly against the Dems and, while he’s a lot better speaker than either his brother or his father, that’s not saying much. Also, he’d bring back into government all the people who failed his brother and his father (think Colin Powell) because the Bush family is very loyal - which is not always a virtue.
Jebs a decent man, but his pro illegal immigrant, pro common core stands make him a non starter... not to mention being from a political family in a cycle that is very much anti establishment because of the decades of sell out by republicans....
