Jeb Bush: thank you, Bermuda ("I would like to see Gavin Newsom run against Ron DeSantis.") ---
Royalgazette ^ | Sep 21, 2023 | Richard Meyer, Assistant Business Editor

Jeb Bush wasted no time expressing his gratitude to Bermuda and its reinsurance market during the 62nd General Assembly & Annual Meeting of the World Federation of Exchanges at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club.

The remarks were made during a wideranging and freewheeling “fireside chat” with the former governor, his son George P. Bush and Thomas Gallagher, chairman and CEO of Miami International Holdings, which owns the Bermuda Stock Exchange.

“I am worried about his [President Biden] age. We have a problem in our country. We have a lot of people who are past their prime who cling to power. There are people in both parties that fit that criteria,” Mr Bush said.

“First and foremost, I would say, it’s time for the baby boomers to get off the stage and let in a new generation of leaders that are more similar in age to my son and your Premier.

“It is a tough job that requires a tremendous amount of energy.”

Mr Bush said it is an extremely unusual situation in the US now, as one candidate for president has “lost some of his faculties” and the other has been indicted multiple times.

“I would like to see a guy like [California Democratic governor] Gavin Newsom run against a guy like [Florida Republican governor] Ron DeSantis. They have totally different visions of what the world should look like, one is a progressive, one is a conservative. Let them have it out,’ he said.

How bout a mud wrestling match between Big Mike O’Bama and Hillary Clintoon?


RC—If you get your pony, can we trade it for this? Maybe Big Mike can tag team with Fetterman and America’s ex-Wife with Jeb. That should be about balanced.

OK, fair point.

We have a lot of people who are past their prime who cling to power. There are people in both parties that fit that criteria

Absolutely true.

“I would like to see a guy like Gavin Newsom run against a guy like Ron DeSantis."

Neither Newsom or DeSantis have any chance of getting their party's nominations.

"They have totally different visions of what the world should look like, one is a progressive, one is a conservative. Let them have it out,"

The chasm between the parties during campaign season tends to get microscopic once the winners start running the show. That's why the public likes a real outsider like Trump, while most on the inside running the government hat him.

How's that?

You ought to have accompanied your reply with a picture of a Bunny with a Pancake On Its Head.

One of the rules around the new FR is that there must be a certain number of worthless posts, and a certain number of people playing failed comedian, to ensure that no thread is close to being purely insightful.

Any comment that is at all flawed in a thread that is not going to immediately die out must draw a number of comments focussed on the flaw so that the thread eventually becomes largely pointless.

Fortunately the Bushes are good at drawing out mid to high level sarcasm so this thread should still manage to hit 150-200 even though it is essentially about nothing beyond reminding everyone that we all can agree that Jeb should STFU.

I’d like to see Jeb Bush run against Usain Bolt. Maybe after that race, we could get some peace and quiet from the Bushes.

NEEDS TREMENDOUS ENERGY???

TRUMP HAS THAT COVERED.

ONLY person I ever saw with similar energy was TINA TURNER

JEB doesn’t have such-—Neither does DeSantis OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE HORIZON.

“Only my people should be allowed to run for President. Please clap.”

Exactly. Jeb Bush’s feelings are still hurt from when he lost to Trump and Jeb wasn’t able to hack it and had low energy in 2016; therefore, according to the Bush family nobody around his age has the energy and should run and we should go with younger people who have no chance? Sorry, Jeb, the ageism card is BS and is just more signs of a failing “Rob campaign”. Trump outworks and outthinks younger people at every single turn and he has proven himself.

You rarely make comments. You just list what everyone says like you appointed youself the interpreter. We don’t need an interpreters. Practice what you preach and try making a substantive comment on the topic for once.

If you want to have interesting rational discussion isn’t the preferred medium now FReepmail?

That said, if you want to keep it public, I’m interested.
