Jeb Bush says brother George may join campaign to help save candidacy: ‘He is very popular’ http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/jeb-bush-says-brother-george-may-join-campaign-to-help-save-candidacy-he-is-very-popular/#.VoxI7AqbW6c.twitter … ..LMAO



found this just now:

[laundry_queen]

1. Every time I see Jeb

I hate him for making me think, "Who'd have thought GWB was the smart one?"

[Nay]

38. Jeez, that's exactly what I think, too, when Jeb opens his trap. Way before

he jumped into the race, I was sure that the 2016 election was going to be Clinton/Bush. After hearing him talk twice, I went "Nope. This guy doesn't want the job. And he's too stupid to act like he wants the job."

[laundry_queen]

49. How on earth was he ever governor?

was he that stupid when he was governor?

If not, then yeah, he's blowing it on purpose. Or it is the beginning of something along the lines of a Reagan-esque story. Without the actual 'being president' part.

[Amishman]

47. I don't blame him for being confused

a few years ago we never would have thought a Bush family member would be too moderate to even be in the running for the republican nomination

[onecent]

55. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SusanCalvin]

2. .

[Gothmog]

3. This is a hail mary type tactic if I ever saw one

[slumcamper]

25. Actually, it mirrors HRC's tactic...

Trot out a former president/relative to throw some pitches and offer a new look.

A "hail Mary"? Not so sure, but definitely going deep into the playbook.

[brush]

26. Doesn't mirror it at all. Bill Clinton is actually popular

W is despised.

[djean111]

32. W is not despised by the GOP.

It is pretty much a mirror. The GOP despises the Clintons.

[brush]

39. To some degree you are right about W, but why do you thing he has been disappeared . . .

by the party? No candidates, except Jeb, now acknowledged as the "dumb one", want W anywhere near their campaign?

Bill Clinton is still called on to help campaigns. He was wonderful in 2012 in helping Obama's campaign.

[djean111]

50. The GOP will trot W right back out, if they decide Jeb! is preferable to Trump.

Democrats think W is the dumb one, but W was great for the big money on the GOP side. Also, that "lesser evil" and "nostalgia" stuff will be used by both sides. We are not the audience for "W". I believe my liberal, Bernie-supporting sister's conservative Air Force Vietnam veteran husband would vote for W again. I think he would be swayed by W to vote for Jeb!, while Bill could appear in my sister's and my front yards, daily, and we would still vote for Bernie. It is all a crap shoot.

I do not think the GOP electorate really thinks W was a disaster. I really don't.

[brush]

51. W's administration was a debacle.

IMO bringing him back will only remind everyone but the dimmest of the repug base of two lost wars, the housing crisis and the economy teetering on the cliff of oblivion.

I hope they do bring him back, though because if they do, we we dems will win going away.

[djean111]

52. "the dimmest of the repug base" - there are a LOT of those, and they don't blame W for anything.

They have successfully blamed all of that on Democrats. The Kochs got their money's worth on propaganda, like it or not. And other GOP voters, I believe would sit the election out, rather than vote for Hillary.

[brush]

53. I don't get the logic of your last sentence?

Who cares if they don't vote for Hillary. They are never going to vote for Hillary anyway.

That's what the "get out the vote" drive is all about.

Democrats outnumber repugs and Dems turn out big in presidential election cycles.

They can vote for Trump, Cruz, Jeb, or whoever, just as they did for Romney and Mccain and we know what happened there.

We certainly don't depend on repug votes to win elections.

[djean111]

57. Badly worded, sorry. I am responding to the idea that GOP women will vote for Hillary because she

is a woman - no they will not - and that some GOP voters would vote for Hillary because Trump is so awful. No they will not. They will just stay home. IMO and all that.

[onecent]

56. SO TRUE.....it doesn't mirror it....

Bill is going to LIVE IN THE WHITEHOUSE IF Hiliary wins..ha ha but W won't.

[dhill926]

35. major league false equivalency...

[Scuba]

37. Bill Clinton is just as hated by the right wing as W is by the left.

[brush]

41. Yeah but we're talking about helping with primary voters now not general election voters

[Scuba]

42. Yep. Neither Bill nor W is a liability 'til the general election. Then they both are.

[DFW]

4. It's relative

Compared to a severe stomach flu or a migraine, his brother is very popular.

[zentrum]

20. Compared to...

…..cholera, syphilis and the black plague GWB is very popular.

[Ghost in the Machine]

21. I'd rather have the flu AND a migraine instead of GWB any time n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

5. Given that the Captain of the Titanic

was dead, I guess he had no other comparable choice.

[tavernier]

6. Jeb has far exceeded every expectation I ever had of him!

Nice to know that I am quite intuitive!

[Solly Mack]

7. I'll pick - Things JEB says when high - for $100, please, kpete.

[lindysalsagal]

8. Ultimate Cage Death Match:

Vs

The Donald!!!!

31. Great Googlymoogly!! My Eyes!!

[smirkymonkey]

60. ROFL!

That photo is priceless!

[Arugula Latte]

9. Is that like: "We had to destroy the village in order to save it" ... or something?

[Gods Slayer]

10. brother George ... ‘He is very popular’ ??

brother George ... ‘He is very popular’ ??

Now that more and more people realize how stupid the Iraq war was, I don't think so..

[brush]

58. Yep! And more and more people realize now Jeb is the "dumb" one

I mean, c'mon, Jeb, how stupid can you be.

"George is very popular"? What the fu_k are you talking about?

God! You need to get out more.

[forest444]

11. And when he inevitably withdraws his candidacy, Jeb will turn to his brother and say:

Heck of a job, Georgie!

[Shrike47]

12. Remember, his target audience is the Republican base. Dumber than a box of rocks.

Their only problem with Bush the younger was that he's too damned liberal.

[H2O Man]

13. Is this from The Onion?

[gratuitous]

14. No, it's true!

Of those who responded to Jeb's poll at the family Christmas dinner, nearly three out of four Bush clan members said W could sit at the big boy table. That is, if you count Barb Sr. snarling, "Shut up, Jeb!" as a positive comment in favor of W, and Jeb surely does.

[forest444]

15. Priceless.

Imagining that scene so makes me wish we had something like the U.K.'s renowned former puppet satire show, The Spitting Image, here in the U.S. today.

Then again something like that would step on too many big, big toes - and that, to paraphrase Poppy Bush, wouldn't be prudent.

[ViseGrip]

16. Bring it on....so we can get it(JEB!) over with!

[Feeling the Bern]

17. Cancer is more popular, and less destructive than any Bush anywhere at any time.

Jeb is just. . .words fail me.

[rusty quoin]

18. When George shows his paintings I think the <1% will go from to <1%

[pinboy3niner]

19. Brilliant strategery!

[wordpix]

22. Good, i can't wait to see gwb* out on the campaign trail

That ought to remind voters including vets about the stupjd, corrupt and criminal bfee.

[Liberal_in_LA]

23. Lol

[Jack Rabbit]

24. "He is very popular?

Is this the same Gee Dubya I remember? Are you talking about the same loser?

[trusty elf]

27. ...

[LibDemAlways]

28. Jeb lives in an alternate universe. How stupid do you have to

be to not realize that your name is a huge liability when your brother drove the economy into the ground and presided over a clusterfuck of a war based on lies? What Democrat would vote for any member of the Bush family in the general? And the kicker is he isn't extreme enough for the Repuke base.

The only thing less popular than one Bush is two Bushes. Jeb is an idiot.

[Betty Karlson]

29. Jeb moves in very detached circles:

W's popularity never waned in the ivory tower of neo-conservative echo-chambers.

[rocktivity]

30. I'm ready

rocktivity

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. Sure! After all, the Clintons like him.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. okay, that's it. He really doesn't want it.

Someone is making him do this, but his heart is not in it.

[B Calm]

36. Bush family really do live a bubble. .

[HughBeaumont]

40. The only thing Jeb! is going to win is Most Tone Deaf Politician Ever.

He'll be in stiff competition with Carly Fiorina, of course.

Who could blame "The Smart One" for thinking The Failure Fuhrer's popular? After all, a handful of pundits are practically tripping over themselves to put lipstick on that nuclear explosion.

[Orsino]

43. He never had it. nt

[Ivan Kaputski]

44. Little Bush rerun.

[totodeinhere]

45. GWB remains very popular with the Republican base.

A Bloomberg Politics national poll taken in November shows that the popularity of former President George W. Bush, a record-low when he left office in 2009, remains underwater with the public at large: He got a 45 percent favorable to 50 percent unfavorable rating. But when only Republicans are asked, the picture is starkly different: 77 percent of members of his own party give the former president a favorable rating, making him the most popular Republican in the survey.

We are in the primary season and if Jeb can't win some primaries he is finished. So if his brother can help with the Republican base then that might be a smart move.

Of course the general election is another matter. I don't see GWB doing any campaigning during the general election campaign. And would his campaigning during the primary season turn off some general election voters? Yes it might but Jeb has to take that chance since he needs to get nominated first before he can even run in the general election campaign.

[Whiskeytide]

46. A bird in the Bush.... wait...

...two Bushes are better than .... Two Bushes walk into a bar .... damn. The point is you can't get fooled again.

I hope.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

48. One group with which Dubya isn't popular:

But then again, they don't get a voice in this election, do they?

[CanonRay]

54. At this point, he's just trying to keep the money spigots open

and praying Trump gets hit by a bus.

[MosheFeingold]

59. One must HAVE something first to lose it. n/t

[lonestarnot]

61. ROFLMAO!
