This never made practical sense. Whether or not his father and brother are popular or unpopular are irrelevant - people just get leery of, or even just bored with, having this many candidates from the same immediate family so soon. If Jeb Bush were to win, he’d be the third Republican President in a row from the same immediate family - it simply doesn’t make sense people would be willing to go for that. It isn’t impossible for another Bush to be President one day, but it is way too soon to be practical, and need to be another generation removed from this one.
If not for Donald Trump, the nightmare scenario of a Jebbie Bush as our nominee may well have happened.
Exactly my thoughts. And you have to wonder why these “big money bundlers” couldn’t get it through their heads instantly — and certainly before dispensing the cash — that a third Bush was ridiculous.
The only thing I can think of is they were counting on “name recognition” by the REALLY low-information voter.
Yes, and his Mom even said it over a year ago. However, the elites, RINO party,uniparty, whatever we want to call these powerbrokers, must have been very confident they could do this. THis tells us how far down they think this land has fallen. What is most astonishing is that this is common sense to know you could not be elected after your father and brother were. So, another strike against Jeb, lack of common sense. What lacks common sense even more is shoving the illegal immigration debate and ‘acts of love’ in the voters’ faces. That is like a ‘let em eat cake’ moment.
Very well said Republican Wildcat. Jeb should have listened to his mother. When she said "No more Bushes" she was being practical as well as political. Another Bush at this time was a no brainer. Barbara Bush is probably the most astute politician in the family.
