 What if when Jeb Bush went to give Donald a low-five, Donald utilized the ultimate bully tactic and pulled his hand away, leaving Jeb both figuratively and literally 'hanging'? What if the force of the low-five, due to Jeb overcompensating for his perceived lack of energy, actually caused him to stumble and clip his chin on the podium? * Was this a missed opportunity for Donald? * Would Donald still be falling in the polls if he had made Jeb look like a chump? * Would this have been mentioned on the front page of the New York Times (our paper of public record) * What passive-aggressive things would Barbara Bush have said on a phone call to Jeb later that evening? * Would Jeb Bush have withdrawn from the race?

You remember what happened to Howard Dean? And it wasn't even actually all that bad of a moment for Dean? This would be an order of magnitude beyond that.

I don't know if you're disagreeing or if you're not familiar with it, but here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6i-gYRAwM0 The media destroyed Dean for something trivial. Jeb Bush looking like a goddamn fool on stage would utterly obliterate any chances he had of ever being elected to any public office ever again. Trump really missed out big time.

I think Jeb might've taken a swing if the Donald had down low, too slow'd him. He wouldn't land the punch and would just come out looking like a colossal bitch.

What's great is that Trump actually did own him right after that, it was just way too subtle* for it to be a big media thing.

Oh misread, as for dean it was a combination of many things that sunk him but people only remember the scream for some reason.

* Was this a missed opportunity for Donald? Yes, but opportunities to make Jeb! his bitch are a dime a dozen, so it made no difference. * Would Donald still be falling in the polls if he had made Jeb look like a chump? Yes: Trump is losing supporters to Carson / Fiorina, who didn't make Jeb! look like a chump at all. He is not losing supporters to Jeb! because Jeb! is also falling in the polls. * Would this have been mentioned on the front page of the New York Times (our paper of public record)? It would have been mentioned on the front page of the New York Times and also constituted the whole front page of the New York Post for two weeks. * What passive-aggressive things would Barbara Bush have said on a phone call to Jeb later that evening? Hahaha you think Barbara Bush calls her sons. * Would Jeb Bush have withdrawn from the race? No - Jeb! has already shown that no amount of humiliation will ever be too much for him. tl;dr: it would have made no difference. (but it's still an interesting question, in an "alternate history" - what if Hitler had been a better painter - kind of way)

The "I Have A Scream" was totally played up to discredit Dean, a viable candidate, in favour of putting up Kerry, an easily beatable nebbish. Best Kerry soundbite from the election was from a Bush ad: "I actually was for it, before I voted against it!" Making it clear to anyone you've got the most unprincipled, opportunistic flip-flopper ever to sell out his country. Swiftboat that bitch. Didn't even get captured by the enemy. And this man is a war hero??? I like people who WERE captured. Too busy partying with Jane Fonda to crash 5 planes and blow up his own aircraft carrier.

What if Bernie hadn't been interrupted by those BlackLivesMatters protesters? I don't think his campaign would have been as focused on civil rights issues as it is now and it would have been much more difficult to beat Hillary Clinton in the primary.

Are you kidding? Look at that lower lip bite that he does as he looks away. Look at how Donald almost grimaces because Jeb seriously slapped his hand hard. This gif will be used in future psychology books. There's so much going on there...
