I thought W was keeping a low profile?

Regardless this is a bad idea for Jebya.

“will appear at a donor event for Jeb in October”
The war crimes tribunal now knows where he’ll be in October.
Shall we setup a GoFundMe account for their airfare???

Older and stupider brother thought being president was hard work. Jeb! would also complain about all the hard work if given a chance.

Jeb!'s his own man until he wants to drag out the family name for fund raising and their policy advisors.

Yup, it’s on the Bush crest, ‘Videtur Verax’ under a rampant magician’s bunny…

Replace McCain with ÂĄJEB! in this skit:

A vote for ÂĄJEB! is a vote for George W. Bush

Donald Trump was right about something…Jeb! is such a low energy candidate. He doesn’t seem to have an excited bone in his body. Honestly, I get the vibe from him that he got into politics because it’s what his family does, not what he wants to do.

Jeb took on tough challenges as Florida’s Governor and delivered results.

You should know, Bub.

Jeb, brings up the Iraq war, despite having the last name of Bush to try and smear Clinton, hires his brothers old staff and now he has war mongering, Cheney puppet, W sending out fundraising emails. Remind me why people thought Jeb was the smart one?

This is exactly right. It’s similar to what any offspring might do, follow a parent into a chosen profession, but it’s best to bring some ambition, smarts and creativity to it. Trump’s shining a light on just how lazy a candidate Jeb! is.

“My brother will not be President. He is a proven crappy leader with a clear socially conservative agenda for America’s future,” George W. Bush wrote … He added, “Jeb’s tax policies will mirror my own – and we all know how well the uber-wealthy did under me.”

You’re the speech writer Jeb! needs.

True, dat. Biggest result delivered by Jeb was, of course, the presidency of W.

“Jeb has tried to downplay his relationship with his brother and connections to Washington”

Can we retire this meme now, since JEB has done nothing to downplay his relationship with his brother, and seems to draw attention to the fact that W is his brother in a speech, nearly every week, if not more often?

I understand that Andrew Johnson, Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover will follow suit.

Well, going into this, both Jeb! and Hilary were expected to be the winners no matter what or who ran against them. Now Jeb! is being overwhelmed by the Crazy and Hilary is having to deal with Bernie, except she isn’t doing a good job of doing that. Yeah, Jeb! reminds me so much of the lazy rich guy who gets into politics because it’s something to do. Same problem plagued Romney. Not to mention the fact that Jeb! also sounds like a spoiled brat when he attacks Trump…like “WAH I WAS PROMISED THE PRESIDENCY!”

Now, now…Andrew Johnson wasn’t at fault for being as bad as he was. He had to deal with a Congress who honestly and truthfully believed that the Vice President was a seat warmer and most of Congress hated him for not being a Northerner. He was more a rotten President due to extenuating circumstances. He certainly was no Ulysses S. Grant.
