“He is like the most focused, disciplined guy. To imagine being a former
president and not having an opinion on anything over the last four
years, really? I

hasn’t been as respectful of him as he should have been? Man. I could
have never done that.”
— Jeb Bush, in a CNN interview, on his brother, former President George W. Bush.
