On Presidents’ Day, Jeb Bush urges return to civility in politics
Sun Sentinal ^ | 2/17/2020 | David lyons

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told a Presidents’ Day audience of investors and money managers that it’s time for a return to civility in the nation’s politics. And the man who was ousted early from the Republican primaries of 2016 gave a decidedly mixed review of the first term of President Donald Trump

SNIP

As for such "kingly’ duties as setting an example to which younger people can aspire, Bush found the president deficient.

“The duties say if you can work hard and play by the rules you can be just like him … that’s an ‘F,’” Bush said. “That’s an important part of this, to be admired by someone that you look up to. This president doesn’t achieve that.”

“Civilty” has meant politetly ignoring that the Left continously slanders and mocks those they disagree with.

Hey low energy Jeb. How about that pole dancing stripper show at the half time of the super bowl. That was nice and civil for families to watch together.

You fraud.

Yes, Jeb, go into the demonkrap dens and present your plan - see if they agree to start from that day forward to be nothing but civil towards Trump, to every member of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, and heck, throw Fox news in there while you are at it Jeb. Take your brother W in there with you to hold a special session on the do’s and don’ts of civility; he has a lot of experience about the benefits of being civil with demonkraps. Let us all know how it turns out.

(Did Jeb really occupy a political office at one time?)

Turning the IRS and the FBI against political opponents is not civility. Pretending to be a “committed Christian” while giving aid and comfort to the enemy is not civility. Meeting with the AG to tell her not to prosecute hillary and then lying about it is not civility.

Jen Bush is one of the Republicans who would surrender to every Rat provocation without so much as a fight.

He should stay out of politics,at least on the Republican side.

I’m so glad our President stomped him into the dirt back in 2016. I can never forget seeing Jeb campaign in the New England area (news footage) with him mother who needed a walker, and it was icy, snowy mid-winter! Don’t care if she insisted on going with him. That was just plain wrong.

“That’s an important part of this, to be admired by someone that you look up to”

I would be much more proud of my sons if they comported themselves like Trump than I would if they behaved like either President Bush. There is a lot to be said for keeping your promises, something the Bushes are unfamiliar with.

LOL! That ship has long since sailed. Civility doesn’t keep the base motivated.

Hey Jeb, remember Terri Schiavo. If not you gave her a death sentence.
