No kidding. ¡Jeb! was supposed to be president but W got elected Governor first. ¡Jeb! was always the "bright" one and would make a better president. ¡Jeb! is the better orator. ¡Jeb! will be the one to save the Bush legacy.

Indeed.

W comes off as the brighter, more seasoned politician and statesman. Let that sink in for second. No one in this thread is loving this moment more than George W. Bush.



The real takeaway lesson coming from this is that money and family connections will get you farther than hard work and talent. Either one would've never have gotten this far in life had they not had the last name of Bush.

Why does he think Chiang Kai-shek, who died in 1975, is a mythical Chinese warrior? I've said it before, he's dumb in ways that don't even make sense.

His father would use the phrase "to unleash Chang" while playing tennis in the 70s and 80s. During the Korean War, the US Navy sent ships to defend Taiwan from the PRC. Paranoid Republicans thought the ships were there to protect Mao, and communist China would fall if the US were to "unleash Chang". Bush Sr's use of the phrase was sarcastic, making fun of the paranoid Republicans.

Jeb Bush is clueless.

W was dumb in a predictable, conventional sort of way. You could wrap your head around the things he didn't know about. With Jeb, it's impossible to tell which kind of insane bullshit he will bring up for no reason and get completely wrong. In his own low-energy way, he's adding something to the race.

Donald Trump and his advisers have decided to work directly with television executives and take a lead role in negotiating the format and content of primary debates, which have become highly watched and crucial events in the 2016 race, according to Republicans familiar with their plans.

Trump plans to reject a joint letter to television network hosts regarding upcoming primary debates drafted Sunday at a private gathering of operatives from at least 11 presidential campaigns, the Republicans said.

There hasn't been an actual statement that Chang = Chiang Kai-shek, right? I thought that identification was speculation from a writer and a good opportunity to make Jeb look stupid (not that he needs help in that). Based on what he actually said, I was under the impression that it did NOT refer to Chiang, but specifically to a -- probably legendary -- ancient warrior that the family had drawn motivation from.

Not only is it confirmed but the phrase was supposedly used by HW to poke fun at the tea partiers of his day, since "releasing Chiang" was a request of the far-right in the 50s. More proof that Jeb! is a filthy RINO.

quote:

“Unleash Chiang,” as in the rallying cry of John Birchers in the 1950s, who urged the United States to arm Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese Nationalist leader of Taiwan, so he could retake Red China from Mao. “Unleash Chiang,” which later morphed into sports trash talk in the Bush family, like when George H.W. would warn from the baseline that he was about to “unleash Chiang” with his next serve.

Trump plans to reject a joint letter to television network hosts regarding upcoming primary debates drafted Sunday at a private gathering of operatives from at least 11 presidential campaigns, the Republicans said.

The move by Trump, coming just hours after more than a dozen Republican strategists huddled in the Washington suburbs to craft a list of possible demands, effectively throttles an effort by the campaigns and the letter’s drafter, longtime GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg, to find consensus and work collectively to negotiate terms.

This is masterfully done. He's not only taking an extremely strong position re: negotiations and bypassing the RNC, he's also positioning himself as a leader by taking a direct hand in shaping all of this instead of passively waiting with low energy for orders from the networks and the establishment.

He's acting, instead of like a candidate, like a leader-in-waiting.

Also I think the media should be pushing more for Jeb! to release his fantasy football team. I'm suspicious he's actually 7-0 especially since he's got Tannehill as his QB. I can't wait for a couple months for him to say "I WENT 13-0 AND SWEPT THE PLAYOFFS IN MY LEAGUE", which literally no one has ever done in fantasy football history.

Release your roster Jeb!

Also, he picked Tannehill because he is a Dolphin, can't say I haven't picked a few Browns though. Maybe he has Lamar Miller too, that would be good.
