Governor Jeb Bush demonstrated again last night (Thursday 7 Jan.) that he just doesn't get it.
As I listened to Sean Hannity interview Governor Bush on Hannity's afternoon radio show, the subject of Donald Trump's words regarding President Bill Clinton's issues with certain women, like Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and others, came up. During the conversation, Bush reminded me of the background sound of an adult speaking in a Charlie Brown special: waah, waah, waah.
Hannity asked Governor Bush if it was proper or fair game for Mr. Trump to mention President Clinton's peccadilloes as part of his campaign against Secretary Hillary Clinton. Bush's answer and follow-on explanation are compelling examples of why he is doing so poorly in the polls, spending $50 million in campaign funds to generate an 11-point drop since his entry into the race.
Bush responded that there are actually two questions: Is it proper, and is it effective? His answer to the first was good. Bush opined that President Clinton's personal record with women is fair game in this campaign, which it is. His answer to the second question put him in the same weak lineup as Senator John McCain and Governor Mitt Romney, both failed presidential candidates.
Bush explained that going after President Bill Clinton in order to attack now presidential candidate Clinton would be ineffective because it's not addressing her record or her policies. He went on to cite a number of "wonky" talking points about Secretary Clinton's track record in the Senate, referring to the fact that in eight years she co-authored only three pieces of legislation.

In a nutshell, why Republicans keep losing in the Presidential race.
The happy turd-le is toast.
Charlie Brown has better ratings.. I wonder why?
1. Amnesty for illegal aliens
2. Common Core
3. Weak on 2A (IIRC, Doesn't choose to even own a firearm; AND lied about receiving an award from the NRA)
Three strikes? Out of the race.
.
No wonder Bush is bottom fishing in the polls.
He does not have a clue.
Great article. Bush does no realize that an attack on Bill is absolutely an effective attack on Hillary. The supposed heroine of women victimizes women. Keep it up, Donald.
That's 'cause he be stupid.
I am OK with anyone who decides not to own a gun. I probably will not associate with them. The NRA lie whole different thing - no quarter.
I like. ;>)
Yeb! is as clueless a candidate as I have ever seen.
The Cheap Labor Express will have to find another Designated Loser to prop up.

The thing that clinched it with me is when Barbara Bush said that she considers Bill Clinton “like a son” and was complimentary about Hillary, can’t quite remember what Barbara Bush said, and my inner voice tells me that I don’t want to remember.
Especially, when your policy doesn't even include NO MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!
Hello, hello!
Sorry Jeb. This time we are not nominating a “clerk” from the GOPe.
Jeb has problems of his own on this subject. Attacks on Bill Clinton for philandering would draw Jeb into discussion of some episodes that he would not want raised.
