Jeb Bush says brother George may join campaign to help save candidacy: ‘He is very popular’

[IDemo]

Source: Raw Story

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said on Tuesday that his brother, George W. Bush, is still “very popular” and could join his struggling campaign.

During Fox News interview, host Brian Kilmeade asserted that George W. Bush would be a good addition to the candidate’s list of surrogates because he is embraced by conservatives in the same way that Democrats are fond of former President Bill Clinton.

“Is that something that you think, if he could tell your story as well as you can if not better, is that something you’re considering?” Kilmeade wondered.

“Yeah,” Bush replied. “It is something to consider because he is very popular. And I also know I need to go earn this.”

Well, if he wasn't one before, this should really put him into the One Percenter bracket.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. W is about as popular as a hemorrhoid.

[Glamrock]

8. Less so...

I'd prefer a swollen asshole to a talking one...

[Raster]

60. DUzy!

[Joe Chi Minh]

82. ... as a fart n a space-suit.

[Feeling the Bern]

2. In the latest poll, Bush the Lesser rated four points higher than HIV and cancer in approval

Yes, bring in brother George, Heir Jebber. That's the ticket!

Assclown!

[PatrickforO]

66. Dang! He's really coming up in the world.

[Feeling the Bern]

67. Yeah, my uncle and I had an argument for George the Smirking Chimp

He said he wasn't fit to live with pigs and I said he was.

I think I won!

[Quasimodem]

83. Your uncle should have won.

Pigs don't go out of their way to be dirty and smelly, it all depends upon how they are kept.

George the Lesser was kept at the White House, and yet everything he did was both dirty and smelled.

[saltpoint]

3. I'm not quite grasping the "popular" part.

Maybe there were instances of inspiration and clarity that I somehow didn't pick up over those 8 years.

Uh, no. I don't think so. They were as hopeless and bleak and humiliating and despairing as I remember them. The Bush brothers are by all counts incredibly stupid. And delusional, too.

[SCantiGOP]

74. Bush's popularity is very thin

It is a forced approval by the right-wingers when comparing him to Obama. They know he was a disaster - broke the economy and the Mideast.
But, the worst of them will swear that Obama screwed up the Iraq situation and that he was in office when the banking crisis destroyed the economy.
Bush is popular in the states that are inevitably going republican anyway, like Utah, Wyoming and the deep south. He wouldn't help in any of the swing states.

[saltpoint]

76. Agree. Jeb's grasping for just about

anything to move the dial on his own popularity.

I'd be delighted if his numbers tanked even further after hauling out his idiot brother.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

4. Thank you.

That is just too funny.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Day-um....prayers work.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. O.M.G.

[Marie Marie]

7. ......

:

Jeb! is an idiot.

[restorefreedom]

55. this...

my sides!

comedy gold, truly!

[BlueMTexpat]

56. + a million or so! eom

[Solly Mack]

9. Dear Jebbish

Are you familiar with the phrase "pushing up daisies"? Well, your campaign is.

[thesquanderer]

10. GWB is their Hillary Clinton

Popular with a big chunk of the base, high unfavorability outside the base. Just as I think Hillary will win the Dem nomination because her popularity within the base, I could see GWB being a big help to Jeb on their side.

[nxylas]

69. I don't think he's even popular with the base

Most conservatives nowadays try to pretend that his presidency never happened.

[Frank Cannon]

71. Dubya's name wasn't even mentioned at the 2012 RNC.

NO ONE likes George. They like his even dumber brother even less.

Jeb's ONLY chance is to bleach his hair, grow a mustache, rename himself Marvin Melfman, and pretend that he's never heard of this Bush family that you all speak of.

[Odin2005]

11. Is he TRYING to deep-six his campaign?

[Frank Cannon]

72. He's always acted like Poppy is making him run.

He's done just about everything he can possibly do to torpedo his own campaign without making it LOOK like he's trying to torpedo it.

"Sorry, Daddy. I really tried," shrugs Jeb, just before putting a pillow over the old man's face.

[Third Doctor]

12. Popular with morons.

I want George to come out and campaign for Jeb. The hilarity would be great.

[A Simple Game]

49. Not to call myself a moron but I would like to hear a few Bushisms without having to

realize it was a President that was saying them. Some of them were really entertaining if you blocked the fact they may be impacting your life.

[elmac]

13. Poor Jeb, like many spoiled rich brats

lives in such a delusional world.

[Fuddnik]

14. I always considered Jeb the dangerous one, because he was smarter than W.

I guess I've been wrong all this time. He's downright stupid.

edit: If he had any smarts at all, he'd send him to campaign for Trump.

[Kali]

15. !!!

[davidpdx]

16. Do it Jeb!

Your campaign was on route to the cemetery anyway. Bringing your brother one would be like using one finger to push the campaign into its grave.

[Mira]

17. Please, oh please. If this happens

I will go back to church in gratitude for all that will happen, including my being royally entertained.

Jeb Bush is delusional. Why in the hell did he leave off his last name and replaced it with an exclamation mark just to now call attention to it.
He is about as desperate as he can get, and I do not feel sorry for him even a little bit.

[Hoppy]

18. What else would you expect little Jebbie to say?

My brother's an asshole, but he's my asshole?

[Nye Bevan]

19. Totally expected an Onion link here (nt)

[Yallow]

20. So Popular I Went To His Ranch To Protest

Peace House...

BTW George, what was the noble cause those 20 soldiers from that one county in Ohio died for in Iraq.

You never answered Cindy's question.

What was the noble cause?

Oil?

[7wo7rees]

44. You were there? When?

We were volunteers. I drove van from Peace House to camp.

[maddiemom]

50. It was so the smoking gun wouldn't become a mushroom cloud.

[Yallow]

63. I Left The Day Before Joan Baez Showed Up

I drove taxi (my rent a car from Dallas) from the Peace House to the camp, and was the Ice Man.

I went to McGregor, and filled up my trunk with ice 3 days for Ann. Filled everyone's coolers. Did you ever visit the drive through feed store / beer market there? What a trip. Throw bags of chicken feed in one side of the truck, and beer in the other. All indoors!

I was on the Ed Show a few times, and helped Ed set up his visit there. Even gave his producer a ride from Temple to the camp.

[Yallow]

21. More Popular Than Jeb Is Still Not Popular

Jeb.

[forest444]

22. And Jeb inevitably withdraws, he'll turn to his brother and say:

Heck of a job, Georgie!

[SoapBox]

23. Kiss...of...Death.

Yes...please...bring out the FUCKING War Criminal.

Do not ever let America forget him...his cell at GITMO is waiting.

[LuckyLib]

24. Bring him on, Jebbie. So the entire country can be reminded of the continuing

heritage of idiots in the Republican party, and the legacy in the Middle East that Georgie and his band of War Criminals left us.

[mdbl]

25. They can show George swingin a golf club

Vote for JEB! Now watch this putt!

[DetlefK]

26. Republicans embracing GWB??????

Oh, that's the reason why no Republican has brought up his name since he was voted out of office? Because he's really popular with the GOP? Because McCain totally won against Obama because he was a Bush-surrogate?

GWB IS SO POPULAR WITH THE GOP THAT THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO REAGAN WHEN THEY HAVE TO NAME A GREAT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT?

[Elmergantry]

27. GWB "popular"?

Ohh, thats rich..

[Funtatlaguy]

28. Best ex Prez painter and drawer ever.

Have you seen his crayon drawings, etch a sketch, oils, pastels, even stick figures.
It's truly amazing how impressively he is spending his time now.

[trillion]

29. I think he was enabled by one of the gop runners in the last debate doing that speech that

went something like he couldn't stand all the bad talk about gw bush, he liked gw bush and wished he was president right now and their audience clapped. The wing nuts are anti-gov enough to turn against their own now but a whole lot of ones that aren't internet users will still think GW is up there with Raygun.

[Vinca]

30. He's about as popular as the shingles virus.

[groundloop]

31. About all that could help Jeb is if Ronald Rayguns appeared onstage with him

And at this point I'm convinced that wouldn't be enough.

[NYC Liberal]

32. This isn't just great news for sinking Jeb's campaign...

If Shrub is out there on the campaign trail making an ass of himself on TV again, then it won't just hurt Jeb -- it will be very bad for the GOP in general.

So PLEASE make this happen.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Actually He's Correct

He's running for the nomination not for the presidency, yet.

On that side of the aisle, Silverspoon I probably does have high approval and high popularity.

But, even if it works and he captures the nomination, in the GE, Silverspoon II will wish Silverspoon I was on vacation on the moon.

[7wo7rees]

34. Yes Jeb! We love W! Bring him on. Sure to be the right

thing to do to bring your campaign center stage!

[yellowcanine]

35. ‘He is very popular’

[7wo7rees]

45. Especially in North Dallas and at his "liebrary" at SMU!!

This is good everyone, this is good. Jeb! and his big brother W along with Poppy and Babs, oh and don't forget Laura, the twins and...... Oh yes his kid heading the Railroad Commission in TX, oh this is gong to be great!!


Fuck us all!! But he/they are better than Trump, Inc., right??

I forgot his wife, what's her name? Pampered daughter of some rich person in Mexico. They've got the Latino vote nailed!

[MosheFeingold]

36. Who knew W was the smart son

I met George Bush Sr. many times in my time in Washington.

I didn't agree with him much, but he was VERY smart, very engaged, tried (in his way) to be reasonable, was arguably a war hero, and dedicated his life to service of his country from W

A good egg, in other words, even if we disagreed on policy.

We were trying to pull in the same direction, but just disagreed what direction to go.

Anyway, I am confused how someone so smart can have at least two decidedly stupid children.

I blame Barbara.

[keithbvadu2]

95. Is it too late for elderBush to

demand a DNA test on both of the progeny?

[malthaussen]

37. He needs to talk to someone besides his mom.

It's really amazing how utterly without clue this guy is.

-- Mal

[madokie]

38. W is about as popular

as dog shit on the bottom of your shoe

These people, bushes, are about as tone deaf as they come. IMO

[Javaman]

39. I have come to the realization that jeb might be the first cadidate that openly uses meth. nt

[itcfish]

40. On What Planet

do these people live on?

[chapdrum]

41. When space colonization is perfected,

Jeb! and the rest of his seditious family should be the first to inspect the neighborhood (likely for its exploitation potential).

Brother Marvin was on the board of the company providing security to the WTC.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

42. LOL

Clueless as ever. Both JEB! and Fux Noise.

[truthisfreedom]

43. He's very popular with cheney when

Cheney is trying to distract someone

[awoke_in_2003]

46. I like how you disguised the Onion link

Oh, wait- I don't think even they would say something this silly

[Tab]

47. Just kill the campaign now

And spare us the horrors of going through this on top of Trump and Carson. Those two + G. W. Bush = Three Stooges and Comedy Central.

(apologies to the Three Stooges and Comedy Central)

[Babel_17]

48. What, no more Bush-Cheney?

[HassleCat]

51. Nostalgia for George Dubya

Yes, the Fox News crowd longs for the days of Bush, simply because he is not Obama. Some of them like his phony war foreign policy, too. He is popular in certain circles. If he coud restrict himself to particular audiences, he might help Jeb.

[Nitram]

52. Like asking an iceberg to come on board the Titanic to save the ship. nt

[Stellar]

53. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[2naSalit]

54. Ahhhh Haaaaaaa Haw!

[shanti]

57. suuuure, he is, jeb

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

58. GW. Here !

<a href="http://photobucket.com/images/gwbush" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="gwbush photo: GWBush San Diego Bush43offSanDiego.jpg"/></a>


I'm ready ,I've been tried and tested and I know how to handle this. Somebody has to whip the party back into shape.
To my party I say you are either with us or you are against us. And if you know what a bird in hand is truely worth, you may stand assured we are all in .

[Angry Dragon]

59. I hope Jeb is ready to answer questions about W letting Isis fill the vacumm he created

[IrishEyes]

61. In what country is George allegedly popular?

Actually, on what planet is George Bush popular? I remember the Bush II years. He didn't campaign for McCain or Romney. Republicans tried to avoid talking about him when they were trying to convert me to vote for Romney or McCain. Sorry Jeb but you are done.

[yurbud]

62. compared to Jeb, maybe

[NobodyHere]

64. Maybe W can read 'The Pet Goat'

Since that's about the reading level of your average Jeb supporter.

[PatrickforO]

65. Yeah, that'll work GREAT!!!

[olddad56]

68. really, GWB has never fucked anything up, except mankind on the planet Earth.

[trillion]

70. Yeah Jeb bring your brother

GW Bush Quotes:
It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it.
You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.
They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program.
They misunderestimated me.

[LW1977]

73. And Jeb was the "smart one"

[EndElectoral]

75. Really getting desperate. Is Cheney next?

[Pjmask]

77. Bush, George is a liability

Worst president ever.

[RoccoR5955]

78. Yeah, the most popular war criminal among war criminals

and fascist dictators!

[Frank Cannon]

79. I'll dispute that. Idi Amin is more popular than Shrub.

At least, fewer people remember Idi Amin.

[RoccoR5955]

84. Didn't Idi go with

Steve, or am I thinking someone else?

[Frank Cannon]

85. Idi had a big hit with "Blame it on the Bossanova"

Only it was the bagpipe, not the vocal, version. See, that's another reason why people look upon Idi Amin more fondly than they do George W. Bush.

[RoccoR5955]

86. ROTFLMAOPMP!

[BadGimp]

80. Can you say CAPITULATION?

[Cha]

81. So it's official.. bush3 is dumber than a sack of shite.

[yurbud]

87. the sack of shit being his brother.

[yurbud]

88. at least W knew enough to put on the redneck act. Jeb seems too lazy or clueless to even go to that

effort.

[Major Hogwash]

89. Katherine Harris . . . we will never forget 2000.

[Helen Borg]

90. Chimp!

[tabasco]

91. Of course, this happened on Fox "News"

where they operate in a different reality than the rest of the planet.

[polynomial]

96. Hear no evil say no evil

Yet when the Bush family makes their way through politics we see evil the media will not address.

At the next Jeb Bush rally bring a bag of old shoes to fling up in the air as Jeb or George make their speech.

Don't fling old shoes at Jeb or George just bobble them in the air slightly over head in the air. call it Popping for Poppy leaping shoes up and down in a wave that makes a statement. Sort of like popping a ball slightly beyond your head, in a political rally such a peaceful bobble is not an arrestable offence yet it makes a point.

It would be a magnificent political picture with a sea of a thousand points of old shoes bouncing in a air quietly just over head not really hurting anyone yet a really great media picture that solidifies the mess George W. Bush and family with complicity with the Arabs held the door open to 911, and sacked the treasury, and introduced the new age of torture with ISIS, or CRISIS.

If anyone is Mr. Chaos, Jeb is it.

[gembaby1]

92. Hahahahahahaha

Oh dear, thanks for the laugh

Well, I guess even negative popularity is good. Ultimately he should just drop out, I mean, how much more embarrassment can anyone handle? Give up Jeb, give the fuck up...

[Sunlei]

93. No shoes allowed at the public viewing, eh Jebbie?

[Wolf Frankula]

94. W. is a Better Businessman than Trumpty Trump

Businesses connected with W. went bankrupt once. Businesses connected with Trumpty Trump went bankrupt four, that's FOUR, times. W. could run a lemonade stand, tho' not much more.

Wolf
