thanks for the comment.

Personally I can't imagine him overcoming the image set by Trump of him.

Seems Trump sidelined the entire family. I still think this will work to his advantage. I just feel for the old man. His dream was obviously to stand one last time on the GOP convention podium and and then at the inauguration of another son.

Bigger question is how deep is the anti-establishment sentiment with the GOP voters. Bush3 was simply a facilitator for this sentiment especially with a $100 Million+ superpac propelling him.

That too, don't believe very many independents would have voted for him especially after he supported Bush2's Iraq conquest. I think he is done with politics too especially since there is more money in politicking.

Fair observations to my mind.

Must have been a big disappointment for Pops. I believe Jeb was the preferred son.

Trump really crushed them.

Being felt sorry for is not a good place to be in politics.
