The shrub's brother Doesn’t Stand a Chance at Becoming President

The repugicans are Delusional

by Allen Clifton

I remember back in November of 2013, just after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had won re-election, how he was the toast of the town. Polls showed him as the clear front-runner for the 2016 repugican cabal pretender ticket and even some had him ahead of Democratic heavyweight Hillary Clinton.
At that moment, it was almost a sure bet that Christie was going to be the repugican cabal darling of 2016.
Then the bridge scandal hit and that pretty much put an end to all of that nonsense. But since that time, repugicans have desperately been looking for anyone to “take that lead” as someone they can get behind for a probable 2016 pretender bid.
Granted, there’s been the usual suspects like Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz, but none of those clowns really stands a chance. Paul has more appeal than Cruz or Huckabee, but being “better than Cruz or Huckabee” doesn’t really say a whole lot. Then you have the other probable candidates that really stand no chance, like Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Scott Walker or Faux News contributor Ben Carson. I like to refer to those types as comedic fodder once the repugican cabal pretender debates get going.
And until recently Mitt Romney has been “leading” many polls. Yes, the same Mitt Romney from 2012 who ran one of the most embarrassing campaigns in modern political history. You know repugicans are desperate when Mitt Romney is leading a list of potential pretender candidates for 2016.
But now the shrub's brother has sprung onto the scene and seems all but certain to be ready to throw his proverbial hat into the 2016 pretender ring. It makes sense; he was governor of Florida so they think he can carry a key swing state, he’s married to a Hispanic so they think he can lure in some of the Latino vote, and he has name recognition which is huge in politics.
Though there’s just one key element repugicans seem to be missing: The American people have had enough of the shrub's family.
Let’s think about this realistically for a moment. His daddy failed to get re-elected and his brother the shrub never got the popular vote in one of his 'elections' and left office with one of the lowest approval ratings of any pretender in U.S. history.
So it’s not as if the American people are in love with the shrub's family. Besides, his own mother essentially said she doesn’t think he should become pretender.
And do repugicans really think that on the ballot box if the two last names they have to choose from are Clinton and the shrub's brother, that they’re going to choose the shrub's brother?
Then there’s the most recent poll Gallup did on the shrub's brother last summer showing the former Florida governor with a favorability rating of 31 percent.
Though I’m sure that number has inched up some with the popular press he’s been getting from many within the wingnut media. But still, a favorability rating of 31 percent is pretty bad for someone who’s not currently even in office.
And maybe I’m way off on this, but I just can’t see the American people electing another shrub whose only political experience is being governor of a state and son to the shrub's daddy. Because last time we did that, it didn’t work out so well for us.
Then it’s not as if the repugican cabal really wants him to run, they’re just desperate. They’re almost certain Hillary is going to announce her candidacy sometime this year, and they’re looking for anyone to put up a respectable fight against her because almost none of the candidates they have “on deck” stand a snowball’s chance in hell at even coming close.
But when it’s all said and done, he doesn’t stand a chance. The shrub’s tainted legacy is still lingering in this country, and has almost all but ruined the family name in the immediate future. Two more years isn’t going to wash that away. In fact, his candidacy will only bring it back to the surface.
There’s a reason why almost no current repugicans have been eager to embrace anything they did during the shrub's junta or hoist the former pretender up alongside them on the campaign trail.
And while almost all other repugicans can avoid the shrub’s legacy like the plague if they want to, his brother  won’t have that luxury. The stench of his brother’s failure, and all of the horrible things that happened during those eight years, will haunt the shrub's brother throughout his entire campaign.
