Responses:

Among Democrats, no question. Among Republicans, probably, but I expect they'll hold their nose if he wins the nomination. - Roger More Dec 16, 07:25 1
- Your Tea Party comment is exactly why I don't deem Jeb as viable. -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:28
In all seriousness, any polibrand like that has people who will always hate it. I don't see the Bush brand any more damaged than the Clinton brand - ty97 Dec 16, 07:17 7
- That's like saying "both parties do that" imo. W slinked out of the White House with his tail between his legs. - David Dec 16, 07:19 6
  - Obama's gonna do the same. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:21 5
    - He's not because people have money in their wallets and no inescapable war. - David Dec 16, 07:22 4
      - His approval rating is in the 30's...he's be repudiated in several elections....he's not leaving head held high. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:29 1
        
        His approval rating is 44. - David Dec 16, 07:31
      - I fundamentally disagree with your last thought unfortunately. - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:24 1
        
        Actually, the democrats had a death grip on the House until the 90s. - David Dec 16, 07:27
It's damaged, but at this point, every political brand is damaged. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:17 1
- I'd agree with this. No one is unscathed now. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:18
I think enough time has passed from Dubya. Plus Jeb is a different animal altogether. -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:16
The American public agrees with *Cheney* on torture. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:16 7
- Counterpoint: Bushes have been in office 12 years. They all proved disastrous. - David Dec 16, 07:17 6
  - People have very short memories. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:19 5
    - I'm diametrically opposed to you on this one. - David Dec 16, 07:20 4
      - W left office with an approval rating of 34 (which was actually a spike up from the few months prior). In June 2014, his approval was 53 - ty97 Dec 16, 07:27 1
        
        Right, all people need to do is remind folks why he was so hated. - David Dec 16, 07:29
      - Remember the story about people blaming Obama for how poorly he handled Hurricane Katrina? -- nm - Ultron Dec 16, 07:22 1
        
        Remember the story about the high school kid who made millions in the stock market? -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:24
