Jeb Bush likely done with public life
Washington Examiner ^ | January 13, 2017 | Al Weaver

Posted on 01/15/2017 3:03:40 AM PST by Zakeet

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said it's unlikely that he will ever seek public office again, including the presidency, and said he wants to return to private life and his business career.

Bush made the remarks while teaching a two-week course on governors at Texas A&M University. He said he is focused on his work to reform education and on his businesses, which he rejoined after his failed presidential bid concluded in February after the South Carolina Primary.

"I unraveled everything I was doing to prepare for this - you don't do that lightly," Bush said. "I just think this was my chance. The conditions of this election weren't tailor-made for me and I lost. But I'm not in therapy. I'm not in the fetal position. Life goes on."

What a doofus. He would no doubt make a great door to door salsa bowl salesman.

Good. He's been a disappointment.

We still have to watch out for his son, George P. Bush in Texas. They have already elected him Land Commissioner and I’m sure he intends to climb the ladder there before trying to run for President.
He is ineligible, his mother was a Mexican national when he was born. He is not a natural born citizen.
He is likely the real reason the GOP would not uphold the Constitution and stop the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Cruz, Jindal, Rubio and Haley are also not eligible but are small potatoes compared to a scion of a dynasty.

Let’s hope all of the Bushes are done with public life. Good riddance!

2015 JEB BUSH:

No. I don’t even think about that. I love my dad. I’d kill for him. I’d go to prison for him because I love him so much ...

It is rare to see a politician so utterly humiliated and destroyed as Jeb Bush was. Putting Jeb into the ring with Donald Trump was like shoving a pampered show poodle with pretty ribbons into a lion's cage. The main reason that the Bush family hates Trump so much is because he made such mincemeat out of their boy.
