Related: About this forumBush: "Who can sit behind the big desk?”
Shrub's brother is wondering who can sit behind the big desk?
Jeb Bush came to Dubuque today with a question: Who can sit behind the big desk?
The Republican presidential candidate, who said we are on the verge of the greatest time to be alive, attempted to position himself as the person who could lead the country after defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Our role in the world is being challenged in ways we never envisioned before, Bush said. The question ought to be, who has the leadership skills to solve the problems that are holding us back? Who can be a commander in chief, the most serious responsibility of the next president of the United States, and who can beat Hillary Clinton?
It was Bushs second visit to Dubuque this year, but his first as an official presidential candidate. His visit in May to Loras College was attended by about 100 people; about 70 attended todays event at University of Dubuque.

yup, jebya, you blew it forever and ever. You helped instigate the Iraq war and all the mess thereafter.

Gives me more brain freeze than chocolate ice cream.

their son the Rethug nomination. It is all about Delegates to their Convention,and nothing to do with what happens in the primaries or straw polls. The Evil Empire spooked the Willard,and that was their major opponent,and these other Clowns will just be a distraction. Do you really think the Monied People and the Real Power Brokers of the GOP are not going to go with John Ellis Bush? Not.
