Barbara Bush Praises Son in New Ad, Takes Shot at Trump (Mommy to the Rescue!)
Newsmax ^ | 22 Jan 2016 | Loren Gutentag

Posted on 01/22/2016 11:48:44 AM PST by xzins

A new ad titled "A Message From Barbara Bush" was released Friday by Jeb Bush's campaign

Although Jeb's mother told NBC's Matt Lauer in 2013 that "There are other people out there that are very qualified and we've had enough Bushes," she quickly changed her tone last February when her son prepared to run.

The new ad is also in coordination with a handwritten letter asking voters to support her son.

In the letter she wrote, "People ask me if I wanted Jeb to run. The answer was no as the sacrifice for his family was huge. I changed my mind as it became clear he is needed. I admit to being prejudice as I am his mother."

How very sad when a grown man has to cry for his mommy to fight his battles for him. What a limp wristed little sap he is.

I almost feel sorry for him.

He always has that deer-in-the-headlights look at debates. I told someone he's the kid who gets picked last to play dodge ball.

Somehow, I don’t think you’ve gotten into the spirit of the thread.

But you do seem to have caught the spirit of Jeb’s Mom.

Would you channel her a request for a plate of cookies at the next class party?

They certainly seem to act like it. And get in hissy-fits when we don’t let them just waltz into office.

I know no one who supports Jeb. Maybe because I’m not in Crawford. We once drove by daddy’s house about 1994 while in Houston. Or so someone claimed in the car.

It really is pathetic.

I can't believe that Barbara didn't nix this idea.

I’m sorry, I do feel sorry for him now. These campaign people are making a lot of money and they are just killing him. I didn’t want him as president, but his stint as governor was not that bad. But since they launched this campaign it’s like the advisers have reworked his image to fail miserably. And then it gets worse. At least they didn’t have his mother cuddling him in an ad. I wonder what the next ad will be?

OK. Let's cut out the snide remarks about Mrs. Bush.

Honoring a mother's love should be a conservative principal.

Now as for Jeb... he's fair game, and it is incredibly lame to have your Mommy cut a campaign ad.

Nobody who pees standing up would vote for him now. What is his campaign thinking? The appalling fact is that his campaign would have been a disaster against Hillary.

This isn’t about Trump at all, it’s about Yeb!
Getting his Mom’s endorsement, even though she was right the first time.

Jesse should have followed his own advice. :-)

Trump is........(insult, insult, insult)

Look at those children and grandchildren he raised. Think back to the kindness in his eyes when he gave those children rides in his helicopter this summer. Look at his compassion when he's dealing with a veteran with issues, or a worker who cannot get a job. Think back to the bizarre fun of Celebrity Apprentice where over the hill stars got a chance to find a path to success.

This is a man with class, kindness, and appreciation for the opportunities he's had in life.

You must be a very sad, angry person if you can't recognize those positive attributes in a person.

She is the ying to LiL Jebbie’s low energy yang.

omg he looks just like her.

Note: Trump/Cruz fans unite for 5 minutes on the pathetic-ness of this.
