I fully understand how bullying reveals a unlikable douche bag character, but why should partaking in cannabis be any more of an outrage than partaking in beer or wine?

All of that nonsensical false data about marijuana that's out there has done it's damage.

Character assassinations occur almost immediately when running for high office. I just assume much of what we hear here is distorted with agenda.

True. I do find it pretty believable that a politician would have been a bully in childhood. Especially if they are being groomed for presidency in our broken system.

Not a very good liar either, apparently:

Globe said:
Their target was a short classmate whom they taunted, and then sewed his pajama bottoms so that they were impossible to put on. The act was particularly embarrassing, said Tibbetts, who said he felt remorse for joining in with “kids being cruel.”

Bush said in the interview that he has no recollection of this or other bullying incidents raised by classmates. He said he never viewed himself as a bully. “I don’t believe that is true,” he said, referring to classmates’ recollections of specific incidents. “It was 44 years ago and it is not possible for me to remember.”

If he doesn't remember it, how did he know it happened 44 years ago precisely? According to the article, he started attending the academy in 1967. Assuming he attended the standard 4 years, why would he pin-point a specific year that he "doesn't remember" it happening?

No, nothing like that.
It's more that I am cynical. Right now it is literally impossible for someone who is not super rich and powerful to become president.
Not to mention the fact that we are in a two party system, and no one of my ideal political affiliation has a chance.

Jeb Bush won't vote for Jeb Bush! Look at his lineage! He probably can't spell 'Bush'!

As an aside, before I corrected it, I accidently misspelled Bush. I spelled it 'Busdh'. The shame!
