The Bush carry a talking tough in American politics century.
In the last thirty years, two men with that name came to the White House. But the apparent heir to the dynasty, Jeb Bush, recently suffered perhaps the most humiliating electoral defeat that has faced the most powerful family of American conservatism.
After obtaining a bleak fourth in the Republican primary in South Carolina, Jeb left the Saturday night their efforts to get the nomination of his party's presidential nomination.
Donald Trump wins the Republican primary in South Carolina and Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic caucus in Nevada The Bushes are so in a Latin American country, "good people" would be called. Family ancestry, distinguished manners. Elite education.
And the calm attitude and carefree means of those who have been accustomed to honors and responsibilities that come to them almost in its own right.
So it may not be noticeable contrast to the three competitors who sent him into exile election.
Jeb Bush leaves the race for the Republican nomination in the United States
This Saturday, Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman and incendiary farandulescas user of social networks attitudes, cemented his position at the head of the race in the Republican Party with his new victory in South Carolina, with no dented popularity the wake of insults that leaves behind against Mexicans, Muslims, Chinese, war veterans and others.
booting
It seems that the last obstacles that stand between Trump and Republican nomination are two congressmen young Cuban-Americans.
One of them is Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
The other, younger still, is Marco Rubio. On Saturday night, preliminary results placed him in second place in the polls in South Carolina. What seems to consolidate it as the moderate candidate of his party, "establishment" those who are not comfortable with the radical right-wing positions Trump and Cruz.
Who's who among the candidates for the US presidency
A position that was precisely what he wanted to occupy Jeb Bush.
When he launched his campaign in mid-2015 seemed the inevitable candidate of his party, thanks to the record support of major donors, the network of family contacts and a reputation as the most intelligent and capable of his dynasty, strengthened by a happily remembered period as governor of Florida from 1997 to 2007.
Favorite seven months
Seven months ago, things are much better for the former governor of Florida. He was the favorite to win the Republican nomination. There was talk of a dynastic dispute to the likelihood that Bush was the Republican candidate and Hillary Clinton, wife of former president Bill, Democrat.
But the emergence of Trump's candidacy in June, altered the equation. In July, the television showman began to lead the Republican polls. Populist rhetoric against the political establishment of the real estate magnate left Bush, whom I was uncomfortable in the fight to see who the most bombastic and provocative sentence read.
Over time, Bush stood up to Trump responded to their jokes and tried to leave it in evidence. He introduced himself as an efficient manager who was the best alternative to the unpredictability and lack of political experience of the New York businessman. He also went on the attack against Senator Marco Rubio, his former political dolphin in Florida.
It did not help. Nor does the fact that he was the candidate with the most money from outside groups. Neither attempt, desperate, this week to appeal to the family name, which he had tried to escape at the beginning of his campaign. His brother George W, the last Republican president, participated with Jeb at a rally. He also took part in acts his mother Barbara, 90, in April 2013 said on the presidential aspirations of Jeb: "We've had enough Bushes". Then he recanted, but his prophecy is over fulfilled.
