Bush family stumping for Jeb

“I think he’ll be a great president”, she concludes in the ad titled “A Message from Barbara Bush”.

Trump has continuously needled Bush during his attempt at the White House for beign “low energy” and took a playground-style swipe at his rival in response.

“Of all the people running, he seems to be the one who can solve the problems”, Bush added.

“I’m not running away from my brother or my dad but I know for a fact I’m going to have to win this because I’m running for president, and people need to have confidence that I have the skills to lead”, he said.

In a newly released web video, the deeply popular Bush appears testifies to her second son’s professional and personal qualifications.

Barbara Bush’s hand-written letter is being distributed to voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and SC. His heart is big. “He’s been helpful and he’ll continue to be helpful”, Jeb told reporters after the event, referring to Dubya headlining several fundraisers in the past few months.

Bush has cut a video ad for her son’s campaign, which is so far only circulating on the Internet but might see broader circulation soon.

The former president has become the most popular figure in the Republican Party, especially among Jewish and pro-Israel donors.

Barbara Bush hasn’t always been in favor of her son running. ‘People ask me if I wanted Jeb to run. The answer was (she underlined the word “was” three times) no as the sacrifice for his family was huge. “I admit to being prejudiced, as I am his maker”.

Bush trails Trump by an average of almost 24 points in New Hampshire – and a whopping 30 points nationally, according to Real Clear Politics averages – good for fifth place behind Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Texas Sen. He’s a popular Republican, that’s for sure.

Bush said negotiations are underway to get the 43rd president out campaigning for him, but it is uncertain when exactly that may happen.

“If anybody’s more powerful in my family than my mother, I don’t know who it is”, he quipped.
