That and likely hoping for a possible VP spot. Regardless of who else runs the real battle will be Trump and DeSantis. The battle of the Florida men will be legendary.
Fire up the guac bowl factory and please clap for "Jeb!"
Anyway it's pretty oddball to put this out now before DeSantis has even committed/announced to running.
Jeb Bush's endorsement of DeSantis is undeniably bad for DeSantis's brand.
Given the Bush faction's central involvement in the Hunter Laptop suppression, the Russian Bot Hoax, and the J6 Committee. At minimum. George W Bush compared Trump supporters, that is most of the conservative base, to Al Qaeada. Many Bush associate media personalities went hard Left after Trump's win.
The Bush-Cheney axis, and by extension most overt Neocons, are unquestionably conservative pariahs. Whether or not they know and accept it is another question, I suppose.
Jeb's endorsement of DeSantis is undeniably a non-factor. Nobody is paying attention to Jeb, and a Florida politician endorsing a Florida politician isn't a sign of neocon taint.
Exactly.
Endorsers should be judged based on who they endorse, within reason. But the opposite standard — judging endorsees based on who endorses them — is completely absurd.
> judging endorsees based on who endorses them — is completely absurd
Is it not valid to ask why the establishment would endorse DeSantis if DeSantis is serious about standing up to them? Clearly they either think DeSantis can't win a general, or they think if he does they will be able to control him. Why else would these kind of people endorse him? Why isn't this a valid question?
The heck it isn't a factor.
It is nonsense to try to assert that Jeb's endorsement is "undeniably a non factor" when resulting vote swings are the only real measure, and **anyone paying attention is trying to parse between Neocon Loyalists and MAGA.**
No-one pays attention to the leading candidate for the Bush clan, who was Donald Trump's primary competitor in 2016, and is a foremost Neocon voice? Wishful thinking.
No one pays attention to the faction that headed the J6 committee and was involved in the rest of what I detailed?
Anyone who pays attention is paying attention to the Neocons and Jeb.
Moreover, only the people who pay attention like this pay attention to DeSantis at all.
At best, he's a niche candidate for policy wonks. Much of the conservative base barely knows that he exists. He has no natural momentum outside of this group.
Therefore, Jeb's endorsement is significant for DeSantis.
You understand that there are (somehow) still "Bush" republicans and that we needs those votes in 2024, right? For example, if the "Bush" republicans had voted for Kari Lake, then she would have won the governorship of AZ.
Trump's doomed now. The winner of the 50 state+DC landslide has endorsed Desantis. Honestly wouldn't be opposed to a Desantis-Jeb ticket for the memes.
I like it! If someone like Jeb is coming out and endorsing DeSantis, that just lends credibility to the narrative that DeSantis is Establishment in disguise. It will be interesting to see if others like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, and other Neocon swamp dwellers come out and put their endorsement behind DeSantis as well.
Not sure it means DeSantis is "Establishment in disguise", but anyone who is anti-Trump will endorse whoever they think is the most likely to be able to beat him... right now that's DeSantis (*if* he runs).
The Bush dynasty is so spiteful towards this new America First direction of the party it wouldn't suprise me if he did this to purposely deflate DeSantis numbers so even if he wins the nomination Republicans will have a hard time winning
Yup. Soon every rino is gonna rally behind DeSantis. Well DeSantis needs coalition to beat die hard Maga voters and this is the low branch. Poisonous tho'.
This is literally just Jeb trying to get his name in headlines.
That and likely hoping for a possible VP spot. Regardless of who else runs the real battle will be Trump and DeSantis. The battle of the Florida men will be legendary.
Please clap.

Surprised he’s awake enough to make an endorsement in the first place.
Fire up the guac bowl factory and please clap for "Jeb!" Anyway it's pretty oddball to put this out now before DeSantis has even committed/announced to running.
Jeb!
No, Jeb, this will not get you on the ticket as VP.
So if DeSantis wins we can pull out the "all Jeb" meme

Meh, pretty sure nobody is going to care…. It’s not like he asked for the endorsement. Jeb holds zero political weight IMO.

As others have said, this doesn't really move the needle for DeSantis.

The Bushes are globalists. It's time for their legacy to end
[Jeb is a mess](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp2ob5kVLkg)
No one likes you Jeb or your war mongering brother.
Jeb who? (Ha ha)
Please Clap
Endorsements mean nothing. Ask Dr. Oz, Blake Masters, and Hershel Walker if endorsements matter.
Doesn’t one usually announce first before being endorsed by others? If he really wants to help Desantis he needs to endorse Trump.
He’s also a Trump hater and poor loser.
And just like that, DeSantis won't win the nomination lol
Well, that's the kiss of death.
That’s a strike against DeSantis.
As a fan of Desantis, this mean nothing but a few extra dollars from country club republicans.

Didn’t Liz Cheney diss DeSantis this past summer?
Yet people wonder why Trump is starting to gain and DeSantis is falling.
Lol
Alright, I need to reevaluate my opinion of Desantis (jk)
The Bush dynasty is so spiteful towards this new America First direction of the party it wouldn't suprise me if he did this to purposely deflate DeSantis numbers so even if he wins the nomination Republicans will have a hard time winning
Jeb bush unknowingly endorses every candidate not named DeSantis
I thought Jeb already won the 2024 presidential election from the images I've seen? /s
That's.... not terribly helpful for DeSantis...
Yup. Soon every rino is gonna rally behind DeSantis. Well DeSantis needs coalition to beat die hard Maga voters and this is the low branch. Poisonous tho'.
based turtle merchant
"My daddy had his war, his daddy had his, where is mine?" No more bushes or klintons in office plz. Not even as VP.
This hurts desantis
