To W., or not to W., that is the question.
As Jeb Bush's campaign continues its internal deliberations on how to best publicly deploy Mr. Bush's older brother - if at all - a conference call on Thursday with alumni from the George Bush and George W. Bush presidential administrations yielded yet another clue.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we see 43 on the trail in South Carolina" soon, said Dorothy Bush Koch, Jeb and George W. Bush's sister, according to someone on the call.

Like a Seven year Locust.
All Trump needs to do is remind people of the George Bush depression of 2008, when the market cratered liked the Twin Towers on 911, and people were afraid we were going to have bank runs. Voters will quickly remember why they hate W.
How can a deeply unpopular failed president “rescue” his struggling brother’s campaign? I don’t get it
If love to see Trump take on W.
When you’ve make promises and take $100 million of other’s peoples money you’d better damn sure make out like you are trying your hardest to win regardless of reality.
It would be sad to see Dubya try to save Jeb’s campaign. Don’t do it!
Well, all you need to do is look back at 2008 to see how they resurrected the dead campaign of John McCain. Huckabee was winning in SC. The GOPe used Fred Thompson to appeal to the most ideologically conservative voters, then went on to use their favorite mouthpiece, Club For Growth, to attack populist Mike Huckabee. The tactic worked well, and succeeded in splitting the conservative vote between Thompson and Huckabee, which allowed McCain to win the SC GOP primary with only 33% of the vote.
Bush is currently in 3rd place in SC with 13%. GW could help Jeb. If the GOPe can divide the voters (remember the plants who booed in the SC Debate), they might be able to push Jeb over the line in a squeaker. This, of course, would change the narrative entirely and could dramatically change the direction of the 2016 GOP primary.
SC is the last desperate gasp for Jeb!
Wonder if they are going to bring out the “missing Bush”,”brother from a different mother” Bill Clinton. Jeb gives Hillary an award and a hug, 41 and 43 go ga-ga around the Adulterer In Charge, so why bother? They might as well endorse her.
Oh goody the doofus and his brother. This is the idiot that made a mess of Iraq, wanted open borders mere months after 9-11, spent beyond all reason, partnered with likes of Ted Kennedy, and then bailed out those t big to fail
I’m sure that will help Yeb
The guy who left his supporters twisting in the wind?
That guy?
Agreed.
It’s become one of those involuntary embarrassed reaction situations for me.
