jeb's speech....not a word about w

[spanone]

you can run but you can't hide.

[calimary]

1. Of course! He doesn't dare.

[R B Garr]

2. He started speaking Spanish.

Ugh, his mannerisms and body language are just like his brother's.

[lpbk2713]

3. I think Jebbie will refer to Shit-for-Brains simply as "43"

He will want to avoid any connection as much as possible.

[spanone]

4. speaks volumes that you can't even mention a 2-term president who happens to be your brother

the media has attached hillary to bill, wanna bet they let jebbie off the hook?

[Johonny]

5. CNN had 6 lily white pundit people on telling me what he needed to do to win

They were worried if he could elevate himself over the other excellent GOP candidates.

I just kept thinking... these people actually get paid to evaluate elections. Why?

[GreatGazoo]

7. no, they are paid to sell us John Bush

It's marketing. Much like referring to John Ellis Bush only by the cutesy nicname while using everyone else's real names. The same people take an entirely different slant when talking about Sanders.

The NYTimes has a headline today -- "Bush's Surprising Struggle with Moderates" "Surprising"?! That's an advertising word, a hypnotic suggestion that tells us we should have forgotten the recent past. They suggests that it is 'surprising' that people remember how bad GWB was ! The Grey Lady pushing am-news-ia.

[R B Garr]

6. Now MSNBC is talking about how Hillary can explain Bill's presidential

decisions -- apparently the same standards don't apply to Jeb. How long will he get away with not having his brother's presidency pinned on him.

[lpbk2713]

11. The BushCo Regime was more recent and has had more negative impact.

There's no reason at all why Jeb should not be asked to comment on it.

[R B Garr]

12. Exactly! I just am seeing the haranguing of HRC all over the cable,

so let's hope they give Jeb the same treatment, and rightfully so.

[spanone]

14. i won't be holding my breath. i have no faith in our broken media.

[Takket]

8. Someone needs to call him out on his logo

He is insulting the public thinking we are too stupid not to realize he is a bush.

[gratuitous]

9. W stands for "Who"?

Jeb! may be the precedent-breaking candidate who will run away from his family's dynastic name. He's got the vig to stay in the race long after the Carsons, Fiorinas, Rubios and the other no-hopers have faded back into obscurity, but I just don't see his path to the nomination of the GOP.

That being said, it doesn't augur too well to imagine who the GOP is going to put up in 2016. Bad train of thought to be following.

[MoonRiver]

10. The great family embarrassment.

"W" should be locked up in the attic.

[spanone]

15. he only mentioned his dad in passing and not by name....

[MoonRiver]

16. Maybe dad needs to be up there too!

[Vinca]

13. I was only half listening to it, but I swear I heard him say

he wants to take us back to "freedom fries."

[MoonRiver]

17. No shit? I didn't hear any of it.

[Vinca]

18. He might have said something else . . . it was kind of mumbly.

But I swear it sounded like he said "freedom fries."

[MoonRiver]

19. My guess is you heard it correctly.

He's got to rally the teabags after all. Every Repuke candidate has to.
