What killed Bush was his piss poor performance in the debates

Reading news articles published last summer, Jeb was at the top of the Republican field in the polls and campaign cash. But the debates exposed him to be a candidate only a mother could love.

He didn't seem into it. IDK, & I don't care.

I'm just glad he's not going to be president, so I say YIPPEE!

Now to rid ourselves of those other fools.

...and he did absolutely nothing to suggest his would be any different than his brother's presiduncy. Even as slow as Republicans are to learn, they know Shrub was a first rate fuckup.

after his father continued the disastrous policies of Reagan to destroy the middle class, and his brother had what was probably the worst presidency in history, Jeb! will be seen as the failure in the Bush family.
