Jeb Bush’s latest desperate tactic is to claim that Hillary Clinton is ‘ambitious.’ Has he taken a close look at himself and his brother? Bush has no ideas other than those of his brother, and we certainly don’t want to repeat that disaster.

“I will take it to Hillary Clinton because I have a proven record,” Bush said, adding, “Compare that to the record of personal ambition because that’s all she is. It’s all about her … someone who has been organizing her entire life to pursue her own personal ambitions.”

It is fair to compare the presidency of Bill Clinton to that of George W. Bush; and Hillary was a part of that Administration, although it was not official. If Jeb wants to start comparing his brother’s failed eight years with Clinton’s, he lacks ammunition. Clinton left the nation with a surplus when he moved out of the White House; Bush left us with trillions of dollars in debt. Bush left America engaged in two unwinnable wars, and destroyed the reputation of a once great nation. Bush made the world a less safe place.

Bush chided Trump for his insults, but resorted to name-calling when talking about ‘the Donald.’

“Donald Trump is a jerk. You cannot insult your way to the presidency, you can’t disparage women, Hispanics, disabled people, who is he kidding? This country is far better than that,” he said.

It’s not that he is mistaken, but the American people would prefer to hear ideas and the cessation of attacks, which have become the Republican Party’s only strategy.

Jeb Bush’s numbers continue to diminish, while Trump’s continue to rise; what is he doing wrong?

The truth is nothing, but the fact is that he has nothing to offer our nation. He is no more qualified to lead our nation than a member of the TEA Party.

For the sake of the once Grand Old Party, I am asking Jeb Bush to end his failing campaign; he has become more of an embarrassment to the United States than his older brother, who turns out to be the ‘smarter one.’
