Why didn't Jeb Bush win the Presidency? He was a good candidate.
Why didn't Jeb Bush win the Presidency? He was a good candidate
Alexander Turner
Juan Adams
He was the most sensible candidate. I would have voted for him in a heartbeat. Best Bush by far btw
Dominic Sanders
low energy
Lucas Davis
Christian Cooper
t. Jeb Bush
Easton Gutierrez
spbp
Isaiah Wilson
Because he came off as a fool and a dunce, and nobody wanted another bush. I found it odd that News Outlets thought he was going to be the nominee the moment he announced he was running
Eli Cook
Brayden Peterson
Did I ever tell you about the time the GOP tried to push for an austistic Florida governor with a last name so toxic to the public consciousness that his first, made-up name was used as an actual campaign slogan? Only for him to be all but vivisected on live TV by a glorified car salesman? He was a good candidate.
Gabriel Jenkins
...
Jason Scott
Because of the way he let himself be bullied by Trump. He came off as weak. His positions were way, way too moderate to attract any excitement from people engaged enough to vote im primaries.
Aaron Rodriguez
>Bush
that's why
Jose Hill
politics is about logic, not following your guts
grow up Sven
Christian Butler
Kek
Justin Torres
He was too nice.
Ryan Nelson
Doesn't matter. US already had two Bushes, both of whom were mediocre if not outright catastrophic. Nobody wanted another member of that family in office.
Andrew Reyes
Because he was a Bush. And the Bushes were generally shit. They're the reason why the Republican Party is getting a bad rep.
Jeb Bush was also an awkward motherfucker. More awkward than Trump.
Brody Morales
Lucas Harris
>politics
>logic
Nah. Politics is all about feels, 3ven for conservatives
Evan Bell
Jeb Bush is Hillary with half her brain tied behind her back.And Hillary has 10X the balls he never had.
William Lewis
>He was a good candidate
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But seriously. Can you imagine being Jeb Bush?
You start out on your career path very early. You do everything you need to do your entire life. You learn the ropes. You work your way up. You kiss all the right asses. You inherit the machine and connections from your father. Then your idiot brother gets your job, and he never even really wanted it, but you help him there thinking you'll get your turn eventually.
Then your turn comes, and everybody says you're a shoe-in. But before you can just waltz away with the job you wanted YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, some rank amateur comes in who doesn't know what the hell he's doing. He breaks every rule. He doesn't follow the progression you're supposed to. He insults your wife. Then he embarrasses you and steals your job. Plus, you're married to a goblin.
Kinda makes you feel bad for him. Or it would if he weren't Jeb Bush.
Caleb Green
Trump exposed him. Jeb was probably going to win the nomination, if Trump wasn't in the race, simply because of his last name. Jeb got cucked hard by Trump, no wonder he and his family didn't back him. But it is over anyway for the Bushes since came out how they voted for Hillary.
Justin Hughes
Jeb Bush didn't work his ass off, though. He was practically royalty.
Liam Anderson
trump made him look weak and republicans loathe weakness. if trump didn't pull the primaries down to the level of a schoolyard brawl, Jeb! probably would have dominated. but trump brought the primaries to a context where Jeb! was fundamentally unable to compete
Colton Brooks
Nobody wants another Bush in the White house
David Williams
Why doesn't op move to Germany?
Ian Perez
I think more political events should be brawls and death matches desu senpai.
Jeremiah Gomez
No source, but it was reported that the Clinton campaign was worried about Jeb Bush because his message of high and sustained economic growth was appealing to a lot of voters, even those who were critical to the liberal coalition.
William Perez
Because the shitfest that was his brother's administration. Also, Jeb's a corporate hack just like the rest of Washington.
Angel Jenkins
slow and steady wins the race, 2020 will be the year of the Jeb
Nathan Hernandez
He was too slow and steady.
