I did like Jeb Bush on the debate (speaking up about smoking weed in college was probably the best moment any of them had in the part I've seen) but from his answers he really doesn't sound like presidential material to me. I can't even point to a specific answer, but I just think "president? NOPE" about him.

Oh, I get that they're right now playing to the Republican base and saying things that will get them the nomination, but during a lot of the debate I was just staring at the screen appalled not just that there are people saying these things to get votes, but that there are actually people who will vote for candidates saying those things. I intellectually knew about the Republican stance on the USA's role in the world, but knowing it and seeing and hearing it in action are apparently two different things.

forgot to mention

Yeah, Jeb Bush has almost no chance of winning IMO, despite having the best starting position of any candidate.

The thing is he's just such a bad fucking candidate. It's honestly remarkable how bad he is.

AYRT
I agree about Bush not seeming presidential. I didn't see the debates but he's stumbled quite a bit lately on the campaign. I don't think his heart is in it necessarily.

If it's any consolation, the Republican party has a big problem attracting new blood. Many Americans are turned off by their language (more of the anti-women, anti-minority, anti-science than the pro-America stuff). There are a lot of predictions on our political news outlets that if they can't find some way to start appealing to a wider base, they'll never be able to elect a president. They even did their own report card on the last election to figure out went wrong and decided they absolutely had to be more appealing to hispanic voters (and now have promptly ignored their own report).

So, the people who are really invested in America being a dominant player in the world are probably a smaller portion than the debate would make it seem.

It would not surprise me a bit if Jeb is getting "encouragement" from Sr. and maybe Shrub to "continue on the Bush line" or some BS like that. I agree his heart doesn't seem to be in it, so he may just be doing enough to say, "Hey, I tried."
