Jeb Bush: "I'm Not In Therapy"

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

Theresa has never looked comfortable in public, from the clips I’ve seen of her. Whereas Laura did no matter with whom she was with.

Remember the awkward dinner at Wendy’s that the Kerrys and Edwards shared after securing their party’s nomination? Theresa was flummoxed by everything that was happening around her. She didn’t know what to do with a Frosty. Kerry looked embarrassed to even be there. The Edwards were doing well—because that was their signature anniversary treat.

Whatever their deep-seated establishment ties, at least the Bushes can rub elbows with everyday folks and pull it off. The Kerrys can’t, it showed, and little tells like that reinforced the public’s favorability of the Bushes over the Kerrys.

At least we got the lesser of two evils in 2004!

He did not murder her,her filthy,disgusting ,degenerate,evil husband did. Jeb was not very brave,but the law was not on his side. The scum that let her die was already living with another woman,and had children. Outside of kidnapping her,her saviors had no alternative.

Still if she had been of the upper class, we can be sure mountains would have moved to save her, and FL has no mountains.
