Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's experience in the 2016 Republican presidential primary was apparently enough to make him swear off ever running for political office again. While speaking Thursday at Texas A&M University, where he's spending two weeks teaching a course about governors, Bush admitted that he thinks 2016 was his best — and only — shot at making his presidential dreams a reality. "I unraveled everything I was doing to prepare for this — you don't do that lightly," Bush said. "I just think this was my chance."
But Bush swears he's doing okay in spite of his loss. He's moved on from giving out tiny toy turtles, and has turned his focus back to his education policy foundation and consulting work. "The conditions of this election weren't tailormade for me and I lost," Bush said. "But I'm not in therapy. I'm not in the fetal position. Life goes on." Becca Stanek
Well, there we have the official denial.
Please clap.
You can say that again.
“tiny toy turtles”? WTH?
The part about the toy (post?) turtles kinda got me.
Seems like poetic irony, what with the “post turtle” memes.
Jeb is too stupid to realize when he lost any chance to win.
It was that instant that he passed by a gracious waiting Trump (and Ben Carson who’d missed his call to stage announcement) with that prat boy look of “sucks to be you” arrogance.
He never had a chance after that. One look is worth a million words IMO.
What a disgusting scum of a man is Bush.
The Mexican loser gave his “word” (worthless),
and then gave the documents of yellow journalism
to the backstabbing alQaeda supporter: McCain.
He Jeb...has your bride learned any English yet?
People who used a lot of illegal drugs in their youth, tend to loose focus as they get older.
It’s not true until the official denial gets issued.
Jebbie is doing consulting work?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
What advice can this dumb a$$ possibly give?
How to spend $100 million and get two delegates?
Well Jeb...you oughta be. Maybe ask those toy turtles you carry around in your pocket. Betcha they say the same thing too.
Are Texas taxpayers financing this drivel at A&M? “A two-week course on governors” sounds like an act of charity to the Bush clan instead of anything that would fit into a legitimate course of study.
What a low-energy comment.
But I’m not in therapy.
*****************************
He probably should be.
Even his pocket turtle thinks so.
Trump is our therapy from the prospect of more Bushism indistinguishable from Obamaism or Clintonism.
Long before that.
When he said it was an act of love to break into our country.
Two words for Jeb: Terri Schaivo
