Bernie should take note how a candidate takes responsibility for losing the nomination.

ā€œI’ve learned to never say never. But this was my chance. This was the
chance and I ran into a storm,ā€ Bush told CNN in an interview. ā€œIt just
didn’t resonate—people were interested in other things this election.ā€

Is this the smart brother or the dumb brother?

Translation - my wife and mother REALLY want me out of the house and think I should make nice and try to get a job in someone else’s administration so I can give it another try in 2020.

Yes, but he did end up in jail.

Yup! It was a Trump shitstorm!

…and that was just the beginning. Now it’s on its way to Cleveland and will stain the GOP for generations. Hopefully, it will destroy it and it can be thrown on the garbage heap of history where it belongs.

Jeb… I’m still dying to know - WHAT THE HELL WAS " IT " ? What was it that you thought you were selling?

  • cause, trust me, you just ALWAYS looked like a kid about to take a test for which they had not prepared.

More like the world is still suffering from ā€œBush-fatigueā€. Did anyone really believe that the country wanted another Bush presidency? I’d be willing to bet the polling they must have done said ā€œHell no!ā€

Bush has endorsed Cruz, called Cruz a principled conservative, and said naming Fiorina as a running mate was a smart choice, thus proving that his acknowledgement that he made mistakes should not be framed in the past tense.

Isn’the the who stayed of politics a convicted felon, so does not meet basic requirements? And yes, John is known as ā€œJohn the Smarterā€.

ā€œI ran into a stormā€ is a stupid comment, deserving of no respect. It’s just more of the failed Jeb!

Idiot. Running for POTUS is always running into a storm. You thought it would be handed to you?

Wait. We know the answer…

Don’t think Hillary will look his way…

How did he not know that there was no way in Hell another Bush would be elected?

Bush didn’t stand up to Trump when The Donald insulted his wife. It was a defining moment. I would have punched Trump in the mouth and stomped on his small hands. We would have forgiven Jeb !'s vulgarity.

We all have to live with the fact that another Bush numbskull unleashed another demagogue like Cheney on the world.

He looked at the stupid field that was running and thought nobody would vote for any of them? He underestimated the GOP base. It’s now made up of only Palin people and billionaires. If you aren’t bigoted, greedy or stupid (or all three), you don’t belong.

It was more of a global warming event. But Jeb ! still doesn’t believe they exist. He’s still thinking Katrina was no big deal.

He’s the dumb one. Scary as that may be, W is smarter than Jeb or Neil–Neil was dumb enough to get busted.

he wouldn’t say whether he would vote for Donald Trump if he were the GOP nominee

I see a connection between JEB’s cowardice and his unpopularity.
