I think he comes across as moderate, reasonable, decent and smart.

Everything he says is total bullshit, but unlike a Cruzzer, and even a Rubio, I think people who don't really have strong political orientation would look and listen and see someone they'd trust, and has a lot of "good ideas." especially when compared to kost in the Clown Car.

Like I said, I think he's bad -- worse than his Dad and Bro. Actually he's worse then them -- more extreme and aligned with Big Bidness big time.

But I think a lot of "moderates" will see him as someone they could vote for.

He just has that lazy disheveled preppy thing going on - it doesn't seem like he really wants the job at all. It's just something his dad wants him to do.

I just don't see that he has anything going on at all. I wrote a thread about this a little while ago. In one sentence, trying to say it as politely as I could, I mentioned that his family had always referred to him as the "smart one." I personally could not see he was over and above a lot more smarter than George W. Bush.* One poster responded Jeb did not actually have to rise to the level of "smart" to have more on the ball than George W.
