Former president George W. Bush jumped into the 2016 presidential race Thursday with a fundraising letter on behalf of brother Jeb.

“This is a consequential time in our nation’s history, and we need a strong leader,” the 43rd president said in the missive. “Jeb took on tough challenges as Florida’s Governor and delivered results. I know he will do the same as President.”

The Bush campaign is also planning a “donor summit” for late October in Houston featuring Jeb’s brother and his father, former president George H.W. Bush.

The George W. Bush fundraising e-mail comes as Jeb Bush has fallen behind in Republican polls to GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

2. Did John Ellis Bush's handlers approve of this or is W freelancing?

8. I think it's the freelancing thing

W's help is likely viewed as someone bringing stinking, rotten fish to a potluck.

3. Yup, we still live in bizzaro world.

“This is a consequential time in our nation’s history, and we need a strong leader,” the 43rd president said in the missive. “Jeb took on tough challenges as Florida’s Governor and delivered results. I know he will do the same as President.”

And why is this such a consequential time, Dumbya? Could it be........... SATAN????

4. Eight years of running (misspelled ruining) the country, and this is what he is best at.

5. Speeches

W is pulling in $100,000 or more, giving speeches to audiences with no press attendance. He should donate to Jeb!. Laura gets $50,000 plus they both get private jets. I wonder just what these audience members expect in return for the cost of admittance? Jeb! has as much personality as a wrung out dish cloth. He will need dirty tricks to make it into the WH. It is not only being W's bro that is keeping him down in the polls, it is his crappy lack of personality.

6. Just the endorsement he needs....

7. "Strong leader"?????????????

from that goddamn family or from anywhere on the RW? I know better than that. "Strong leaders" on the RWc since just Nixon have brought this country low and ruined the lived of hundreds of thousands, mine included, by creating an economy and culture that is greed bound, mean and racist. I lost my job, my home and much more because of creepublicans. I spit on Jeb Bush, his stupid brother and their evil pappy.
