This may explain why GWB and GHWB refused to endorse him even as the nominee karynnj Jan 2017 #19
but even without this they would have had many reasons not to endorse him JI7 Jan 2017 #25
Agree completely, but this might explain not giving karynnj Jan 2017 #31

And he has a hell of a resume. Surprised that he was not running MI6.

"Meanwhile, Marina Litvinenko, the widow of murdered Alexander Litvinenko, who was critical of Russia's leader Vladmir Putin, said Mr Steele had been put in danger by collecting such information.

She told the BBC: "I believe it is very dangerous, particularly after death of my husband, because when you just approach very specific information, particularly when this information very close to very powerful people, you might be in this line and you just easily might be killed."

I hope he and his family remain safe.

If this results in the Defcon 1 level meltdown and undoing of Twitler, as it looks like it may, he could easily claim that mantle.

To be fair, it's an easy one to reach.

I wonder if they believed it, but could not prove it was accurate. It was a big deal that they did not endorse. It could be they thought it would be wrong to put it out if it was not 100% proven.

A reason for a completely unprecedented action.

Imagine if Carter said he would not vote for any later nominee. Given how polarized the parties are, the candidate would have to have some very very glaring flaws. Now it could be that they were simply convinced he was completely against their neo con foreign policy.

looks like Jed might when you get revenge on Donald Trump. I don't know why he would after all, all Donald did was wrecked his dreams, and make sure that people look up at his brother as the successful president (snicker snicker snicker.)I am not going to Rupert either side in that fight, but that will not stop me munching some damn popcorn, cracking open the last soft drink I could afford before they cut my Social Security, and watch the show.

There was a time that the very stuff of my nightmares was the idea that America would give Intuit's demons and then slowly but surely tear itself from within. Now, I say with a smile and a tear, that part of me is eager to see that happen, because that might be the only way that these parasites are finally able to be removed from our body.

Have fun Jeb, but don't think that's going to make you president. And enjoy all the people who speak of your drunk brother as the smart one in the family!
