George Bush joins Jeb in presidential campaign - Bob Cummins, Period 6

       Jeb Bush, Republican presidential candidate has recently been joined on his campaign trail by his brother and former President of the United States, George Bush.  He said on Monday that "we do not need someone in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our frustration," implicitly talking about Jeb's fellow Republican candidate, Donald Trump.  He called the impending presidential election "a serious election for a serious job," and gave advice not to vote for Trump.  He basically that Trump uses rhetoric, but doesn't have strength to be President.  He used his actions during 9/11 as an example of the strength the POTUS should have.
       Bush is correct in saying that Trump isn't a good candidate for the job, but it was not the best idea for him to join his brother on the campaign trail.  He is the reason that Jeb doesn't have much of a following; the Republicans are tired of the Bushs.  And people who are on the line between Republican and Democrat won't vote for Jeb because the Bushs now represent the establishment and nepotism.  One could compare it to when John Quincy Adams II received one vote to be Democratic nominee for the presidential election of 1868; people were tired of the Adams Family *snap snap* and didn't elect him.
