"SNIP..............

“To have a private server in your home, I mean, c’mon man. That doesn’t pass the smell test.”

— Jeb Bush, quoted by CNN, on Hillary Clinton using a private email server.

However, as CBS News reports, Bush also owned his own private email server.

1. "...c'mon man!"

Here speakth the Smart Bush.

2. I know. He's missing the ability to connect. His instincts are not so good. I'm worried that if

Trump fails we will end up with Cruz or Walker in the General. That will be really frightening. Because one thing you can say about Jeb is that he is not that creepy.

3. otoh, the problem with not (apparently*) being "that creepy"

is that it makes a Republican candidate tougher to beat. If Trump or Cruz were the nominee I think we would win 50 states; Walker wouldn't be that easy but he's already showing himself to be a pandering fool and an idiot.

Bush I think would be a stronger candidate than either, in the general election, but I'm beginning to think he doesn't have a chance to get there.



*and I do think he is only apparently not as creepy. Remember he is the only member of the Bush family who actually signed the neo-con Project for the New American Century manifesto, and that he was deeply involved in the Schiavo fiasco long before his brother, and even after Terri died: he wanted to prosecute Michael Schiavo for abuse or something. http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/learning-jeb-bush-terri-schiavo In any case, Bush is plenty scary.

4. The whole party is creepy. That's true. I guess I was just talking personal needs as I cannot take

any time with real charlatans and I might have to sit out the election if one of the charlatans runs for president. Some in the GOP are charlatans (Cruz, Walker). Some just use the tools of charlatans (Jeb, Trump). I hope Trump or Jeb win. Because they are both beatable I think. And I could take it.
