Carl Hiaasen: Jeb Bush needs some razzle-dazzle

[n2doc]

A plan to energize Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign:

1. Add another exclamation mark to your posters and bumper stickers, so that they look like this: “Jeb!!”

This will put you ahead on the charisma meter, because most other candidates don’t even use one exclamation point on their campaign signs!

2. Provide unlimited Starbucks at all town-hall meetings.

Free coffee would be one way to make sure your supporters appear enthusiastic and alert while you’re explaining your position on, say, Common Core.

To attract more young people, offer cans of Red Bull to anyone willing to jump up and down waving a “Jeb!!” sign.

1. Lol!....

6. At the next television debate, don’t stand next to Trump.

This is not an issue of height, or hair. You definitely are taller than he is, and you obviously don’t have hair plugs taken from an orangutan’s armpit.....

2. I think he needs a retro catch phrase

Maybe he could shoot a campaign vid of him in a '91 Mustang rolling up to an event with his cap turned backwards, jump out the convertible top, and bust out a "word to your mother" and cut the camera to Babs nodding slowly.

Jeb! Word to your mother!

3. W. had the cowboy boots! How can he top that?

5. He could try to attract more Hispanic voters

if he put the first exclamation point upside-down and in front:


¡Jeb!

The third time is NOT the charm.
