Let’s make a rule: bash Jeb for his positions, not for his name.
This whole “fear of a dynasty” is silly and akin to conspiracy theories.
So how many Bush presidents would be a dynasty?
“This whole “fear of a dynasty” is silly and akin to conspiracy theories.”
No, it is not. You are either a troll looking to dispel the dynasty issue or you are sorely ignorant of what a dynasty is and can do.
Maybe Jeb Bush should put forward what he believes in.
Right now, all I know is that he is a big illegal immigrant/amnesty guy.
Consider the reverse. If Jeb’s last name was not “Bush”, is there anything in his record or abilities, that would separate him from a long list of governors with successful records (including Walker, Jindal, Perry, Pence). Indeed, his name would come after all those contenders because he has been out if public life for more than a decade.
The only reason Jeb Bush is a frontrunner is because of his name. The blame for that falls on our media culture, which regards the celebrity status of the Bush, Clinton, or Kennedy names as qualifications for public office. It is this culture of celebrity that precludes any meaningful debate of policies that many posters are deriding when they say ‘not another Bush’
