Jeb just can’t help himself: The myth of his electability continues to fade

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


I’m running out of ways to describe the awfulness of Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign. If or when he fails, his jocular Thursday comment about the Iraq war — “Taking down Saddam Hussein turned out to be a pretty good deal” – will be in every highlight reel.



Not only is Jeb! now fully embracing his brother’s disastrous, bloody war of choice. He’s talking about it in a glib salesman way, reminding us that the war was in fact “a pretty good deal” for his cronies: for Halliburton spinoff KBR, the entire defense industry, and a metastasizing web of private security contractors including disgraced giant Blackwater. The families of the dead and wounded in Iraq might disagree.

Things got worse in his speech Friday, where he volunteered that “Paul Wolfowitz is giving some advice.” Wolfowitz, the scowling face of the smug neocons.

I’ve asked this before: Does Bush even want to win?

1. The shock to everyone is that jeb! is even dumber than his brother.

That was totally unexpected. It is hard to believe that is even possible, but there it is.

4. Yeah - I bought into the meme

that he was the smart(er) one because ...how could he not be?

5. Ever see the movie Dumb and Dumber?

It's sorta like that only worse because it's not a movie.

2. He assumes he will automatically win because his last name is Bush

so what he says will not make or break him. He is both arrogant and presumptuous.

3. is Wolfowitz still chewing his comb

or has he gone bald?.

To answer your question; Bush knows the dumb basses will vote for him because they supported killing anybody at all after 9/11.
All that had to be noted is that they were brown skinned and had weird names like Muhamed. The electorate is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
