Jeb Bush Influences In American Politics

Decent Essays
Like Game of Thrones, American politics does not come without its political dynasties. With famous families like the Kennedy’s, the Clinton’s and many more, one family stands out above the rest, the Bush’s. In the 2016 election, Jeb Bush was the front runner at first because of his last name, but this would soon change. Although Jeb’s family background was strong, where both his father and brother were presidents, he lacked the leadership and strong qualities they held. During the republican debates, Jeb was often bullied by other candidates like Donald Trump. He was called low energy, incompetent and weak, much like Viserys. Bush would soon become a laughing stock and it was evident that Bush had no chance in being named the republican nominee,

    Not since the 1876 election, where Rutherford B. Hayes surreptitiously agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South (effectively ending reconstruction) in exchange for the democrats ceding the Presidency, had an election been so fiercely contested. The contention associated with the 2000 presidential election reflected the American people’s ambivalence towards the direction the nation should move towards as it entered the 21st century. Despite the nation’s relatively prosperous period under the Clinton administration, the election of George W. Bush marked American indisposition to completely depart with Reagan conservatism, which had prevailed in the decade prior. So it is in this divisive political environment, on the heels of a controversial election, which raised legitimacy concerns, that George W. Bush ascended to the presidency seeking to reinvigorate the besieged conservative political…

    This year's presidential election was quite the soap opera. From Hillary Clinton's past predicaments to Donald Trump's prejudice remarks. Its no wonder the poll numbers were so low. I consider that in order to obtain a large percent of the Latino vote, both parties need to treat Latino's as humans and not diminish them. The Latino vote is very important, considering that Latino's make up a great portion of our countries population.…

    Donald Trump was an unexpected runner for this year’s presidential election. At first, many people thought his running for the presidency was a joke. Unfortunately, as time went on, what many thought to be a joke suddenly became more serious as more and more people began to show him support and he shows no sign of dropping out anytime soon. Which is unfortunate since much of what he says is far from being presidential, let alone professional. From what I’ve seen of his speeches and debates, he often makes terrible statements about other candidates as well as other groups of people, building off of peoples hate to rally more support.…
