interesting thoughts, but he just has no charisma. Jeb was really hoping that Trump will actually turn out to be a conservative, but he's not convinced. He kept saying he's hopeful that if he gets the right people around him they can get stuff done (and I'm thinking "has he seen the people he's apparently going to surround himself with? They are political equivalent of Howard Stern's whack pack". O'Malley thinks the democratic party is broken. Bush thinks that if they can put conservative principles in place everything will be great and the party will be fine. They both stressed the need to come together. They both focused on anger as being the driving factor in the election, but I think they miss that anger is coming from different directions and reconciling them is extremely difficult. It was underwhelming.
