Jeb Bush seems to have been around forever. I mean he was being mentioned to run for President even before his dimwit brother W. So how is it possible that he was so unprepared to answer basic questions in his book interviews?
Some have said that he never was the sharpest crayon in the box from the start. How damaging is this flip-flop flap?

(16,993 posts)They've managed to suck the public coffers for years, so they must have figured out a few things, or at least are smart enough to maintain their connections (or keep their blackmail file updated).
No more Bush family members in office. EVER. They've done enough damage, they are criminals, liars, and they have taken advantage of the American people long enough. Hopefully, the nightmare memories of George W. will still be strong enough to prevent Jeb from running in 2016.

(25,941 posts)After all, we're talking about repugs, who have a tremendous capacity for overlooking flaws of even the most egregious sort when it comes to one of their own. Consider the case of RawMoney, perhaps the flippiest of floppers to come down the pike in ages. Despite his 'moderate' image within the repug party, his 'Mormon problem' among so-called Christian fundamentalists, his out-of-touch persona, his turn at the helm of a company who practically invented outsourcing, AND the flip-flopping on hundreds of issues, the party faithful still voted in lockstep for that sleazebag - and, despite reassurances that Barack Obama won with a decisive margin of the popular vote, I'm sort of a 'glass half-empty' sort of guy where that election is concerned, seeing that so many Americans held their noses and voted for the execrable RawMoney anyway. 'Jebbie flip-flopped? HA!', I snort derisively.
