Not by any measure does Jeb compare favorably with Trump.

Don’t get me wrong, I have always felt that the Bush’s were nice folks.... just terribly unsuited for the job of power politics.

I would be unsuited as well and I’m a nice guy, and not totally stupid either...really..lol

When a champion is called for in a time of existential crises you don’t raise up a man like Jeb... you raise up a powerful man like Trump (or a Churchill) With such men you must accept both the good, and the bad since most powerful men are flawed men.

I have no problem with a flawed man, not even with some who are deeply flawed. I figure there was only one man that ever walked the earth who was perfect... you know who I mean.

God sometimes raises up a Gideon to carry out an important task... maybe we are being given a final chance... I have my hopes up.

Is Trump a flawed man for the extreme times we're in? I don't think so. The forces of evil have been unleashed with Muslim extremism and the abilities of terrorists to wreak havoc, globally. Decent folks have been pretty much taking it, while our pols play it for their advantage.

Along comes Trump. Look at everything they've thrown at him, in a period of two months. Keep in mind the total confidence of the elites that they could stop anyone from getting in the way of their agenda.

And how does Trump respond? It's brilliant. He puts on such an outrageous show that it cannot be ignored. We're believing he can build the wall, have the violent illegals out of the US in a few days, bring in the most brilliant minds to negotiate for us, and pulverize ISIS. Could a lesser personality change attitudes in time to save us?

Jeb's not a nice man. He let Terri Schiavo die a horrible death. He doesn't put his US citizenship above his Mexican family. He stays in the race, not because many US citizens want him to be president, but because people bought him for over $100 million dollars, not to win, but to control who does.

I think as I type (that happens when I can't sleep). Think it through. Who's giving up the most by running for President? I contend it's Trump. He's doing it for the nation. Jeb's doing it because he was told that it's what he's supposed to do and he's entitled to it.

The one you mean said…’be ye perfect, as your Father in Heaven is perfect’. That means you, me and could even mean The Don…Gideon 2016.

And in reality, the Bushes really aren’t particularly nice folks—but with that veneer they’ve been exceptionally effective in the job of power politics.
