Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's experience in the 2016 Republican presidential primary was apparently enough to make him swear off ever running for political office again. While speaking Thursday at Texas A&M University, where he's spending two weeks teaching a course about governors, Bush admitted that he thinks 2016 was his best — and only — shot at making his presidential dreams a reality. "I unraveled everything I was doing to prepare for this — you don't do that lightly," Bush said. "I just think this was my chance."
But Bush swears he's doing okay in spite of his loss. He's moved on from giving out tiny toy turtles, and has turned his focus back to his education policy foundation and consulting work. "The conditions of this election weren't tailormade for me and I lost," Bush said. "But I'm not in therapy. I'm not in the fetal position. Life goes on." Becca Stanek
...and thank God for that or else I'd be in therapy and the fecal position...and what's up with the tiny toy turtles??...
This from a guy that has had deep spiraling depressions.

Not funny, dude. Don’t bring his wife or kids into this. Bush himself might be a political turd but his wife is a decent lady and his kids are fine Americans.
“Oh, you’re a tough guy Jeb”

Should be.
I think he could use some therapy.
I’d be willing to help him with a few freebies.
Jeb, how old were you when your daddy started using you to his own end?
How old were you when you realized your daddy’s morals weren’t the same as the morals you learned in church?
How long did it take for your morals to align with the greedy, sneaky, selfish morals of your dad?
How did it feel when you started to see your younger brother (s) having a better time with better friends and chicks and such? How did you compensate?
How did aligning yourself deeper with your dad make you feel superior?
When you watched Breaking Bad, did you identify with Walter White more than would be healthy?
Did you try to sabotage your little brother’s presidency win? How did that make you feel?
Did your mother favor you out of pity?
Who wears the pants in your marriage?
How does it feel when after all you did and sacrificed for Dad, your little brother was the one who came in and protected Dad’s legacy and thus earned higher status?
How does it feel to have had the most financial support ever to run for president and have blown every penny into the ether?
Does shopping satisfy your wife better than you ever did?
Oh, I see our time is up for today.
I didn’t intend it to be funny. His whole campaign and persona was partially directed at Mexican sympathy to get votes, and I said NOTHING about his children so why bring that up?
For cripes sake. It was reported that he speaks Spanish at home! What are we to take from this? He’s an American?
I apologize for nothing. The man is a dullard who thought the mantel should be passed to him. Nothing more.
Well Yeb maybe you should be!
His wife is a very nice lady,I like her I just don’t like him anymore. He has lost his way.
“The conditions of this election weren’t tailormade for me...”
Boo hoo. Winners don’t wait for life to happen to them, they go out and make things happen themselves.
Jeb lost me with his tippy toes stunt, but his treatment of the decent Dr. Carson was a worse offense. In the years since the languid non-campaign of 1992, Team Bush learned nothing at all.
My point is “how do we all know she is such a nice lady?”
What evidence, interviews, interaction or correspondence or revelations of friendship tells us that?
That’s his problem - he really needs therapy....kind of like a drug addict proudly saying he’s not engaging in any sort of recovery program....
No the conditions of this election were not tailor made for you jebby. They were perfect for our PE Trump who refused to bow to the PC crowd even a little bit. Admit it Mr turtle, you would have taken CNN’S question and apologized to them to boot.
Is this the same wife who tried to smuggle jewelry through customs, into the USA without paying taxes?
The conditions were perfect for Hillary...and she still lost.
A chance (or several, if you make the effort) is all you get and it doesn’t guarantee anything.
What’s wrong with therapy? (bet he is ;)
