You should have listened to your MOMEEE JEB. Close to a year ago Barbara Bush was asked if she thought her other son, JEB should run for President. To everyone’s surprise including, yours truly, she said and I’m going to paraphrase this from memory, “No, I think we’ve had enough Bushes as President. We need some new blood in the White House.”
If my memory serves me, and it doesn;t always, that is the gist of what Momma Bush said. Turns out she was right. She must have suspected JEB wasn’t up to running for president, that he would Bomb. That he was a Lo-o-o-ser!
No, that’s not totally fair. JEB and the rest of the fifteen or was it sixteen dwarves had to put up with an unexpected wild card in the form of DONALD J TRUMP. Nobody, knew how to handle this guy, neither the candidates or their managers or their spokespeople or the pundits, nobody. Nobody had a clue and that was/is TRUMP’s greatest strength. If Reagan was the tefflon President, Trump is the tefflon candidate. Nobody can lay a glove on him.
Nevertheless, Bush was a terrible, whinny, geeklike candidate who was impossible to picture as Commander-in-Chief and was, sans Trump, a long shot at best. Momma Barbara knew it and that for me makes Momma Barbara the smartest of all the Bushes.
So Donald when it comes time to pick a running mate, you might want to consider a different Bush, a winner-Momma Barbara Bush.
