Thump! posted:It may be a bit over the line, but drat would it be on point. Bush and his cabinet directly caused that conflict and that loss of life, and Jeb! having the same people on board would lead to another drat disaster like that. Well, just be being in this thread, we're probably all political nerds. If you told the average voter, say, "President Jeb means Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz", would they find meaning in it?

I figured he would just have a lot of GWB baggage and that would be his major problem but that seems to have completely taken a backburner to him just making a poo poo ton of major unforced errors without being baited into GWB stuff. How on earth did he think that he could run for President as a Bush and not be asked about the country his brother broke? Especially since his foreign policy guys are the same guys who got us to invade Iraq in the first place. And he didn't even get grilled on specifics, he whiffed on an easy hypothetical softball question. Lord of Pie posted:Dubya was the smart one,

Luckily, I think it's easy enough to infer to people that the last two times we had a Bush in office we ended up shooting at Iraqis, and the second time was pretty drat lovely. Who knows what the third time will bring.

I'd say Barbara was the smartest one of the whole bunch because she was the only one to state the obvious, "We don't need another Bush president."

You guys should worry less about how Hillary can hit Jeb! over Iraq and more about how Trump is going to do it first, and then turn it on Hillary too in the general election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution Can't wait for Trump to call her an idiot war monger or an idiot rube and say "you voted for it!" (in the exact same manner in which he says "you're fired!") over and over while she's trying to respond. Chris Christie fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Aug 6, 2015 |

I have now decided that this Clinton-Trump connection is the best thing ever. Not only does Trump have to defend the conspiracy theories at the debates tomorrow; but, if trump wins by some trick of Satan, then I can annoy my conservative family members that he is really just a liberal plant due to this Clinton meeting.

I honestly don't understand why people think this isn't incredibly more toxic for Jeb! than Hillary. The Bush administration flat out lied and fabricated evidence to push the Iraq war. No, Hillary's hands are not clean, she shouldn't have voted for it, that is clearly a problem for her but she said she was wrong while the Jeb! campaign is completely infested with the exact same GWB people and he can't even answer a softball question about it.

No joke, this is one of the most affecting things I've seen in this thread. My family lost somebody in Iraq and this image has made me in turn sad, pissed off at you for making it, and then really, really angry at the possibility of Jeb being president all in one ten minute roller coaster ride of emotion. I'm actually motivated to volunteer for the Democrats again. So in all honestly thanks for the reminder of what's at stake.

Clearly they haven't gotten the memo ,which is really throwing a monkey wrench in the plan to win the Hispanic vote via pointing and going "eh, eh" at VP candidate [Hispanic Republican to be determined]. But seriously, holy poo poo. Those numbers are insane. Way to hold the line at between Nixon and Ford in popularity, most of you guys.

I don't think it would take 20 minutes, and I doubt it's even possible for a human to consume anything as quickly as one would have to in order to play that one.

I hope someone makes another joke about Trump that consists solely of using the words yooj and luxurious. It's so so funny when that joke gets made over and over and over again, because it's so clever and original.
