It is like they are definitely downplaying the fact that Jeb is also a Bush - and we should forget the family name of Bush.
Maybe the George HW Bush slogan of "no new taxes, read my lips" or the infamous and non-existent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq of George W. Bush are things the Jeb Bush campaign managers want people to forget comes from the same lineage as their candidate.

Jen Bush, I believe, used the same logo when running in the past.
He is a good candidate, was a good governor and a successful one. The democrats will search everything to find faults, but his record as governor is stellar.
If his last name is to be used as a weapon, then Ms. Clinton has some issues to address, if associations are an issue, then the former secy of state to President Obama will have the same questions. And recall the last poll I saw, both Bush presidents were more favorable than President Obama, and we all know how Ms Clinton fares in favorability.
If, as everyone says, we should elect based on issues, then he is very strong.
