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."

I don’t know, she’s a tough, mean old bird. She’d probably be tougher on them than Obama is.

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.

I think his "advisors" are determined to spend that last 30 million on TV ads, so they can get their cut and their pay.

Will "My Mom's Endorsement" ad work?

Will it touch the hearts of kitten lovers, Valentines aficionados, and Mom's Day devotees around the nation?

And cause them to vote Bush in Iowa? NH?

I can hear the crescendo building...

I have not seen this ad but I have seen two where he attacks Rubio. That is understandable since they have similar immigration policies and would be competing for the same voters. One of the ads was lively - the one about Rubio’s boots.

That was the plan, just like the last two elections when they ran McAmnesty and Romneycare.

I’m all for piling on Jeb, but at the same time, it’s getting kinda pathetic. I mean I’m starting to feel like I’m one of the bullies who teases children with Down’s Syndrome.

Dear Babs,

As with the ‘Queen Mother of England’, you are a non sequetor.

Of course the cost to her family was huge, she unleashed another Bush dupa on the country to further diminish the family stature.

Pro planned parenthood Barbara does not speak for me. I can’t hear any message she sends.

Did she “take” a shot or “do” a shot?

At least Rush and Levine are not his mommy. How embarrassing for Little Jebby.

I suspect that Saturday Night Live has inserted an agent of influence into the Bush campaign.
