It’s not that I think he is above attacking …it’s that it looks like digging up all the dirt on Rubio would slime Jeb as well.
Having watched Jeb inaction for a while now, I’m not convinced that G the Lesser is the dolt son. It’s a neck and neck race to the bottom.

Classic dick move by the Bush Criminal Corporation. Next thing you know there will be a whisper campaign that Rubio fathered a black child (ala Bush vs. McCain circa 2000).

Before that they used it on the Big Dog. Clinton knew he wasn’t going to win a bunch of those states so he didn’t care.
This is a good way to save keystrokes when talking about bushies. You can add a space or not, either applies to Jeb!

The Koch Brothers, his brother and the Brotherhood of Man are his problem.
Jeb ! is a rich, entitled dullard who isn’t the “smarter brother” that we have been led to believe. If it wasn’t for flashy Trump, he’d seem as “wonderful” as everyone keeps on telling us that Rubio is…yet no one has really seen anything to substantiate that claim.
The GOP has run out of policies that work and candidates who would work for anyone but other billionaires.
Jeb ! isn’t any worse or better than any of the rest of the Republicans’ second rate pack of losers. It might help if Republicans embraced a diversified future based on technology and science instead of the Gilded Age of the 1870’s with its reliance on monopolies and fossil fuels.
Someone needs to put the GOP out of its misery.

I don’t know about Jeb. I hate to compare him to Mark Twain, but I think people are writing his obit before he’s daid.
Lots of time to do a lot of damage before February, both to and by the frontrunners.

Bless your heart , Jeb!-------Your mama still loves you and dubya appreciates you making him appear smarter than he really is.
Just to let folks know, Fred Thompson, former Senator from TN died today. Known as an actor and reverse mortgages ads, as republicans go he was at least civil and more reasonable than many of the candidates in recent memory (last several Presidential elections) and that’s why he never went far as a presidential contender. These days the GOP wants blowhards and derp to satisfy the anger verging on violence among the “Base”.
He also helped bring Nixon down.
Some republicans forget that both sides decided Nixon had to go.
I don’t vote for republicans but there are GOPers I have respected. Now I would not get a reverse mortgage based on one of Fred’s ads but he was a decent guy not known for throwing bullshit just to get elected. The complete antithesis of somebody like Ted Cruz.

Sadly, times have changed for the country. And the old time republicans don’t seem to realize just how radically their party has changed.
I can’t imagine our current POTUS running his campaign that way. If someone did a 112 page power point on how to dismantle his main competitor… and said slide deck was shown to donors- the man/woman in charge would certainly need to see it, to own it.
So, if what he is saying is true… it’s horrible and he is unfit to hold office - anywhere ( maybe in Maine we have a rube for a Gov)
If what is coming out of his mouth is a bald face whopper… I guess then he is the prefect republican candidate!
That’s some pretty IMplausible deniability right there, brother. I guess he’s proactively trying to head off criticism a la Reagan about whether he knew about Iran/Contra: “My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.”
Also, I fully support Jeb making the campaign all about himself. Then again, I’m a democrat.

TPM:
“I didn’t see it. I didn’t see it,” Bush said. “I don’t know.”
And yet another GOP candidate shows us how knowledgeable and on top of things he’d be as President of the United States.

They both drink a lot of iced tea, it appears.
For that matter, the parents aren’t the brightest bulbs, either.
“Garbage in, garbage out.”
Bush: “I didn’t see it. I didn’t see it. I don’t know.”
Carson: “It speaks to the fact that I don’t know what’s going on.”
I give you — the Know-Nothing Party!
Politics is a dirty business. I have always thought if JEB really wanted to be President. Then he needed to throw his brother under the bus. I would have respected him for it too. Jeb could have done it nicely. Saying he loved his brother and unfortunately received some very bad advice after 911 by some neocons in his administration.
But the Bush family will never go THERE. Jeb will never be President.
