Can Jeb make people forget the fuckups that the Bush family are?
Jeb Bush is trying to fool voters into forgetting that he is a Bush by leaving his last name off of his campaign logo and not featuring his last name in his campaign video....
Jeb Bush cant hide it. He is directly connected to family legacy of failure. If Jeb thinks that an exclamation point instead of last name can fool voters, he is in for a very bumpy presidential campaign.

(58,706 posts)I've often wondered about Jeb's nickname. Where does it come from?
OK, his name is John Ellis Bush, so his initials fit...but again, why? Why not Johnny, or Jack or or just John? Why JEB?
Then it hit me. His name sake is none other than James Ewell Brown Stuart, better known as the Hero of the Confederacy and Bane of the Union during the Civil J.E.B. Stuart, the vaunted cavalry general who served under General Robert E Lee.
There's another 'Southern' undercurrent running here.
