The Bushy.


In private and among friends, Bush and his wife, Laura, express amazement at an election season that has been hijacked by Donald Trump. 

On Monday, Presidents’ Day, Bush try to help Jeb do just that. After deliberately avoiding politics throughout his post- presidency, Bush is stepping back into the arena for an evening rally in North Charleston with his brother.

Bush’s appearance is an urgent mission to energize Jeb’s struggling candidacy ahead of next Saturday’s South Carolina primary. But it also will firmly put the stamp of the last Republican to occupy the White House on the GOP contest at a moment of deep division.

The former president has been troubled by a Republican electorate that  so far, at least prioritizes Trump’s anger and projected strength over Jeb’s qualifications and experience.

George W. Bush is popular among Republicans here, especially members of the military services. 
The former president’s approval rating among South Carolina Republicans stands at 84 percent.

However, George Bush will bring back troubles of the past. The war in Iraq, thousands of American military lost their lives, thousands injured, disintegration of the area and the rise of fundamentalism. All will not be good for his brother's run.                Just a thought.
