BUSH IS TOAST---FOR GOOD REASON

WHY BUSH IS TOAST

"JEB" Bush has dragged his 91 year-old mom Barbara Bush to stir up his faltering sleepy campaign shuffling along in the snows of New Hampshire. It will not help him. it seems to underscore the fact that JEB is tied to the past...a failed past.The Donald was right. JEB is really a nice guy who, besides his energy level, he has two major problems.

The first one is his surname. No one wants to support the establishment of an American "Bush" dynasty. Even if the Bush brand had NOT been so awfully sullied by JEB's thoughtless, easily manipulated, low.IQ brother (reason enough to negate another candidate from the same "gens") the people rightly reject the idea of a third president candidate from this family. The idea of a dynastic presidency is understandably and rightly unpalatable to the American electorate. If JEB wasn't a "Bush" he might be doing about as well as John Kasich or Chris Christie. Even with his name recognition and his many millions of dollars in PAC and big donor support, he can't seem to get out of single digits in the polls.

His other problem is JEB's close connection to a failed presidency. He unwisely populated his support-team with old hands from his brother's failed administration. And when challenged early on in the campaign, he was unable to separate himself from the awful legacy of a disastrous "W"presidency. If he had been able to say "I know "W" made some serious mistakes. I'm a different person. I am going in a different direction." Bush was unable to make that leap or was unwilling to do so.

For those reasons....he is toast. Too bad. A minor name change to differentiate himself from his family, a steel-rod up his backside and a shot of B12 might have made him a contender.
