The brother who was never expected to become president - but did - will be trotted out Monday as a lifeline to the brother who was always expected to become president, but now may not.
Former President George W. Bush will take the stage Monday evening alongside Jeb Bush for a highly anticipated rally in North Charleston, S.C., part of the Bush team's effort to use the primary next Saturday in South Carolina - a state long favorable to the Bush family - to help reinvigorate Mr. Bush's stalled presidential bid.

Recently, a young woman in New Hampshire outlined his challenge in stark terms: "Millennials don't tend to support a third Bush in office," she said, "so I'm wondering how you are working to distinguish yourself from being the third Bush." His response was equally blunt.
"People are just going to have to get over it, all right?" he said. "I am who I am."
He continued, "I've got no problems with this, and people that do, they either need to get therapy themselves, or realize that we can change the course of this country working together to solve problems."

George W. Bush: “We are not at war with islam. However, we are at war with anybody who might throw a monkey wrench into the little enterprise my fellow elitists and I have set up.”
Jeb Bush is so utterly CLUELESS. This is going to backfire.
If you’re Jeb, does it matter to you if it might backfire at this point? He’s already an embarrassment. What does he have to lose?
Jeb! While you’re at it, bring in Neil! Nobody remembers Silverado Savings and Loan anymore, right?
This will be the Bush Dynasty and GOPe version of the Wellstone Funeral.
Will they put up a “Mission Accomplished” sign?
“Islam is a religion of peace”
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
It goes against ALL historical evidence.
That’s really what Bush lied about.
Of course it will. As one who has always liked W and respects much of what he did, even people like me must admit he made a lot of serious mistakes, not the least of which was failing to defend himself against false acccusations, and generally backing his neocons even when they were wrong. This is exactly what people fear Jeb! will do as well, and is exactly the wrong thing for him to do.
Of course Trump will have a heyday with it. I hope he dials it down a notch, just as he’s said Jeb! is not a threat and I think the family will go away faster if they follow W’s example to this point and just live their private lives and stay out of politics.
Wishful thinking, I know....
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Bush or Clinton - Just Say No!
Just need Daddy with his remote if he can break away from those “CSI” episodes.
Nasty seeing those two being so pal-sy with each other. Just as nasty of those pics of Trump chilling out with the Clintons.
That's worth remembering. Consider that stolen. I'll try to give you attribution but I make no guarantees.
All good buddies - should add the pic of Jebby and Daddy hanging out with Barky.
lol
