Jeb body language is telling

When he tries to counter Trump blaming GWB his head shakes back and forth and eye constantly blinking.

Something about him where he just comes off weak.

And i don't just mean in the trump claims of low energy. But more like overly sensitive nervous etc

On a deeper level, I think he also seems a LOT more resentful than his brother.

W. showed resentment when his "entitlement" was threatened, but because W was so interpersonally clueless, he was oblivious to how much people mocked him and/or how he came across.

Jeb! seems to carry a lot more agitated resentment around with him--like he's more his Mother's son. He's not just entitled and grossly under qualified like his older brother. He's conflicted about it. . . whether because he secretly knows he doesn't deserve his privileges, or because he feels he deserves more than his brother. Don't know about that.

questions and too much pointing of blaming fingers leads to too many nasty little truths finding sunlight.

Jeb! is now only concerned about being ridiculed at the Kennebunkport Thanksgiving table. He is the Bush Family Failure. He's a miserable loser, and Poppy and Q-Tip won't let him live it down.

He's losing to Donald Trump.

Jeb! will forever be a pox on the pox that is already a pox on the Bush family name. And he is beginning to realize it.

Better dig in deeper and sell more Common Core bullshit.
