(3,366 posts)I've never had the opportunity to see/hear him giving a talk before. He seems so hesitant, almost apologetic, vague, stoop-shouldered. Was he always like that? I think he looks like Babs.
I read the OP image and gasped. He's going to bring out his older brother to vouch for him! hahaha!

(17,064 posts)...but better than he's showing now. He was helped by FDP running their usual lineup of DLCorporatist DEms that weren't particularly inspiring. As Governor, he was wonkish....even if his policies were bad, the govt ran smoothly mostly. Only real hiccups were Hurricane Andrew, when he was slow getting help to Miami/Homestead, and the 2000 election fiasco. He did seem smarter than W...idk what happened to him.

(17,064 posts)Her parents and the bible-thumpers created a media circus. Jeb kind of stayed out of it at first, just sending in Fla State Troopers to retain order. Then finally he was under pressure to do something and ordered her feeding tube kept on. That was quickly overturned by the courts, as I suspect he knew would be. After that he just told the bible-thumpers there was nothing more he could do. I don't think they've ever forgiven him, which might be part of his problem now.

(47,430 posts)He comes across as very weak and unsure of himself. He also has that awful "shrug" thing that GW does - drives me nuts.

(21,765 posts)More "trickle down" tax policies, more cuts in social spending, more Patriot Act government spying, more military intervention in nations across the world. Remember, W. made privatizing Social Security a center piece of his second term.

If you were referring to W, I agree. Epic fail.

(11,086 posts)Remember all those photo ops showing him clearing brush with a chainsaw? That's how he communes with nature, by taking a chainsaw to it. Crawford, Texas as I recall. You may remember he spent half his presidency on vacation there.

(2,586 posts)The people there thought I was a crazy person when I started laughing hysterically. Someone asked me if I was dehydrated and I told him not as much as Marco Rubio. Afterwards I had to explain to him the gist of the jokes since it went over like a lead balloon.

(4,291 posts)It boggles the rational mind how this tactic would work. Are they that insulated from reality that they cannot see how this will fail, almost as disastrously as:
>9|11
>Anthrax
>Hurricane Katrina
>Operation Iraqi Freedom
>the 2008 Recession
>Citizens United?
...To name but a few.
It will all end in tears... Their tears, which will bring no succor to the lives that the Evil Bush Family Empire have destroyed.
Regardless, I'll have a whole rack of shoes ready to throw at whatever screen upon which their dry-drunk faces appears. (Yes, Jeb has a drinking problem, too!)

(10,279 posts)uniter, not a divider -- a quality not found in all the other Republican candidates It's the old "W" 2000 campaign ad reworked to serve Jeb. Apparently, the two bros have forgotten that "W" legacy is "divider, not a Uniter".
I'm looking forward to more "W" reworked ads touting Jeb, especially:
-- A safer world and more hopeful America.
-- A tested leader.
-- Compassionate conservatism.
-- Leave no child behind.
-- Moving America forward.
-- Real plans for real people.
-- Reformer with results.
-- Steady leadership in times of change.
-- Win one more for the Gipper.
-- Yes, America can.
Old "W" ad that probably can't be worked for Jeb:
-- America's Top Gun.
Hard to see how the Jeb! Campaign can survive. Jeb has no vision (it's a Bush genetic deficiency) and no original core values.

BTW,where is Jebs wife? I can not even remember her name. Or,his handsome kids?
